camwynWell, I'm goin' to the Pit.
Went to Toys R Us yesterday to see about Star Wars Legos for my nephew. He's not five yet, alas, and the only Legos with Star Wars stuff that were anywhere near a safe age range for him and his three year old (come next year) sister were tiny sets that were all but unrecognizable. Bought him a remote controlled R2 D2 instead, and his sister an Ahsoka Tano and R6-D3 Galactic Heroes set (you do not get to say 'Star Wars is for boys!' where someone will hear it and tell me about it, thank you). And me, well, I bought me two Transformers, cos they were there. One was Ravage. Not a problem, he was one of the brighter spots of the second movie up until Bumblebee pulled him apart. The other was Blazemaster, an Autobot helicopter with a gold paint job, supposedly for a TV news station- but his name and his description made him sound more like he should've been a fire control chopper instead:
"Many of the other Autobots think Blazemaster is a little bit haywire. He likes to hover over Decepticon assault squads... [some bit I don't remember here] ... waiting until they notice him before he drops his payload of corrosive gel on their heads. The sight of Decepticons fleeing in terror, their armor smoking as it melts away, is what he lives for."
Dude. It's an Autobot who poops on his enemies' heads.
It's a giant robot pigeon.
And I bought it anyway.
