The Autobots wage their battle to destroy the evil forces of...the Iraqis.There's not a lot of meat to the link, but I thought it might bring a smile to somebody's face.

optimus prime was a pansy.
unicron ate planets and ran a newspaper empire in his spare time.

once Saddam reveals himself to be a Decepticon, and changes into a fighter plane to try and escape, we'll appreciate this man's true genius

Is that Chandler?

...juv, yep, can't beat Unicron. I miss the old days (new transformers, ie "armada" is so weak).

I imagine there's already someone, somewhere, called Hot Rod. Who was, by far, the best Autobot.

Especially when he became Rodimus Prime.

This new Optimus Prime looks like he's more likely to transform into a big potato than a transport truck.

I guess that's a better military name than, say, "My Little Pony" or "The Purple Pie Man of Porcupine Peak," if he had to take any name from an '80's toy...

...though, come to think about it, "Penny Racer" would be a pretty sweet name.

The day the Autobots averted a war.

Hubcap had done the right thing. Heck, even the Decepticon Swindle had done the right thing, if for all the wrong reasons. But that didn't change the importance of what they did.

George W. Bush leaned back in his seat and smiled.

There would be no war today.


If only...

I think there's more to this story than meets the eye.

But Armada is finally bringing us the Unicron Toy, so all is forgiven.

I'm just glad he's not a GoBot.
