    Especially if you play "Yaketty Sax" over top of it. :)

    Hasbro is a huge company. I am sure they can afford to have a warehouse where they store all these molds. Not just for TFs but other toylines too.
    After all, Paramount has a whole complex dedicated to storing and maintaining all Star Trek sets, costumes, ship models, phasers, bathlets- literally everything from the original series to the movies is there, categorized.

    "Ahhhhhhh, the.... Cybertronian.... planet crust..... vintage... omnomnommmm..."

    Is that the voice actor for the Brain from Pinky and the Brain? I mean Wells was not alive by when the Critic aired.
    I wonder why he went down the drain so terribly that he only appeared in commercials and movies like Transformers... that was clearly just a "give me my paycheck so I can leave" role. I see this with a lot of once respected famous actors these days. Harrison Ford did Blade Runner's and Star Wars' sequels while looking bored out of his skull, and Anthony Hopkins played Odin with a total "I don't even want to be here, I'll just read my lines and go" attitude in Thor: The Dark World. (Ironically, he seems to have totally enjoyed Last Knight when he could goof around).

    Yep, that's Maurice LaMarche voicing Orson Welles.

    A more flattering performance is LaMarche overdubbing Vincent D'Onofrio as Orson Welles in the movie Ed Wood.

    YouTube (Legacy):
    He was a bit of a narcissist if I remember correctly, and he was a perfectionist and notoriously hard to work with. He was certainly a genius, but his personality turned many away, including people that could finance him.

    As a result in his older age, with no money left, he turned to food and drink, leaving something like 6 unfinished movies before his death, and slumming in TV adverts and voice overs like 1986 Transformers.

    Anthony Hopkins hasn’t “acted” in years. Every film he’s been in since Zorro he’s been a bored ham. Compare his performances in Silence of the Lambs and Red Dragon. One is creepy and eerie, the other is comedic and ridiculous.

    Odin was appropriate for an All-knowing god who has done the same thing for millenniums. Last Knight he was a crazy loon like Red 2’s bomb maker.

    He CAN act, but lately he’s mostly just been “Anthony Hopkins on stage as Zorro/Lecter/Pope etc”

    I'm aware of that. We were suggesting that Unicron might receive special treatment, though, in order to hold to the spirit that this production run will be a one-off. Also, by moving the toolings off-site once the production run is done, it prevents mold theft and the knock-offs that result.

    Hey guys, a little off topic but I just got back from Wal-Mart and they had earthrise voyagers for $15. They only had grapple at the one I was at. Not sure if this has been going on for awhile but I thought I would let you all know. Also not sure if it's just where I live, St. Paul, MN

    Just a "little" off topic. How is that relevant at all?

    I know you intended well, but try to find the right place to post, instead of doing it willy-nilly.

    I mean, gifting someone a loaf of bread could also be considered a nice gesture... up until you throw it in the toilet just because you didn't know where the breadbox was.
