	Optimus Primal - Freedom is the right of all sentient beings Megatron - Then they'd better all stay out of my way! (Beast Wars shoots, and scores again!) (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Did you know that Beast Wars Megatron's voice actor narrates the Enzyte commercial? I JUST FOUND OUT. ... MY BRAIN WILL NEVER BE RIGHT AGAIN. (And that is your moment of random for the day.) (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	DUDE!! You might have warned people who DON'T know what Enzyte is (like me) so they DON'T google it on a work PC!!! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Oh god, that never crossed my mind. I see those damned commercials every five minutes. Uh, so, in case you all missed it, Enzyte is a Male Enhancement Drug. It is famous for commercials about Smilin' Bob, a guy with a rictus grin because of the sheer size of his wang. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I assumed it was a character from Reboot. Glad I didn't check! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	When you're drowning in it EVERY DAY, it's easy to forget that there may be some beautiful land where that commercial does not run every commercial break or so. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	I learnt that thanks to Bee in the City. wherein a BW Megatron (takes place in a multiversal nexus point) gets a Macguffin, and rants about his " big boost of confidence.. " ... of course, there's also " This is taking longer than an Inuyasha story arc! " and " MY MANWICH " for references. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Bee in the City" was awesome. For those not aware, it was a script reading at a Botcon, where the guest artists, and others, provide the voices for a specially written script, usually taking the mickey out of Transformers, Transfans, and anything else that moves.

	looks it up- SPEWS DRINK I KNOW VANGELUS. OH MY GOD. MY MIND IS BLOWN. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	.....YOU OWE ME SOME SRS BRAIN BLEACH. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	He's also the guy who narrates the newsreel in the beginning of Up. My mom didn't get why I was laughing myself to tears when I heard the voice. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Prime: "Freedom is the right of all" Megatron: "Oh, shut up!" Well said! Although to give credit where credit's due, Prime did keep his face shield on. (Reply to this)

	greenmask 2009-06-08 09:18 am UTC (link)
	Ahh, <3Megatron. Though I'd have chosen a different Perfect Moment for him. I can't actually remember if I have in in trade to scan though, hmm. Must check! Oh gee though, even when the art went all XTREEEEME and robot saliva-y, there was not a moment of those old TF comics I did not enjoy. Blissful. (Reply to this)

	Why do robots have teeth? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	angelophile 2009-06-08 09:37 am UTC (link)
	Why not? (Reply to this) (Parent)

	comicoz 2009-06-08 10:21 am UTC (link)
	I think that's from the older Transformers series where they were basically robot humans. After all, there's no reason that they would need a female robot either, right? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	greenmask 2009-06-08 01:25 pm UTC (link)
	Except for the fact that some robots might just naturally have personalities or designs that look female coded to a human? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Its the mammaries on Arcee, for example, that don't make a lot of sense... (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	greenmask 2009-06-08 06:28 pm UTC (link)
	Neither do a lot of the twiddly diddles on everybody else.. Like why does Optimus have a mouthplate anyway? Or a crest? What's up with the individual features that signify separate characters? It's not like she had actual tits, until she became scary spider-lady Arcee. Besides, "hourglass" is a valid shape. They're robots. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	They have them for the same reason they have male robots, obviously. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Just to screw with the squishies! ;D (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	....damn, that sounds a lot worse than I meant it. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	The art couldn't quite figure out whether it wanted them as humans-in-armor or overly robotic. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	You don't fuck with Grimlock. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Dredd / Grimlock (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Grimlock = Cybertron's Chuck Norris? (Reply to this) (Parent)

	I've gotta start getting this again. My local shop stopped stocking it after #5 and I'd forgotten about it. (Reply to this)

	Why is the mud white and goopy? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	angelophile 2009-06-08 04:29 pm UTC (link)
	I think it's meant to be water. However, alien planet, mud can be another color if it wants to? (Reply to this) (Parent)
