Bet you wish they'd stop monkeying around with you! :p
Just as long as Verno does go Ape over it :D
I was thinking this is probably one of the best monkey figures period, not just amongst Transformers. I need a skyscraper model for some King Kong photos!
And then it dawned on me, they should totally make a Donkey Kong version... they could base it off his wind up toy design from the Mario vs DK series:

I think the nearest thing I have to a chicken may be the Tyrannosaurus Rex.Quote:

In the Transformers universe Optimus Primal is a silverback gorilla. Despite his name, B'Boom isn't a baboon but actually a mandrill, which is a close relative of the baboon but still an entirely different species of monkey (both are Old World monkeys). Then there's Bantor whose beast mode is a fusion between a baboon and a tiger. Fuzors... the Transformers' answer to The Wuzzles. ;)
The wuzzles were awesome
