Man good luck getting Megs on a plane!
Seriously though emphasize the stupidity of getting a licence to own a real weapon, so you can buy a toy. You could even go and buy a real Desert Eagle .50 and to stress the point even more.
G1 prime vs Masterpiece Optimus Prime = Awesome idea
Bumblebee's = Awesome Idea
Beast Wars = Awesome Idea
Binaltech's = Awesome Idea
Maybe if you have some Diaclones you could point to where it all started?
Peace.
(I hope you serial number haters appreciate that I actually typed Masterpiece Optimus Prime....dam i did it again.)
