Is this Optimus?

So, I was cruising ebay just poking around looking at stuff and I happened upon this http://lh5.ggpht.com/_5vX0BfzYg2w/S_DZBMgMfCI/AAAAAAAAAjc/o68smqMX1hU/unknownTF01.JPG The person says it is Optimus Prime and does not transform, just curious if anyone knows about it? EDIT I also found that figure ...

I know the gun from the top photo at the bottom seems to scream Captain Power at me but I might be wrong. I know I have had it before. The blue capsule with the guy in it went to a line of toys that were wind up and moved on their own. As I recall they were semi-modular. The rest of it I do not reco...

Okay, if you insist on knowing why I gathered 60ish Lite Brites, it's because I had this half-brained idea for an art installation piece based on the Kama Sutra. LOL I am sure the mental image in my head is much more amusing/wrong than it would have been in reality. I am imagining a room full of 6-...

Best TF for Photo Dojo

My son just let me know that there is a DSi game called "Photo Dojo" where you take photos of different poses and then they are put into the game. I would love to throw in Optimus Prime into this game but I need to find a reasonably priced and easily posed version. My G1 obviously will not...

Do you recall the approx size of it? Are we talking G.I. Joe height, He-Man, or something else. It rings a bell but a very very faint one.

The trick with the Captain Power toys is that you had to both shoot things and dodge incoming fire. I know it is a different technology as the "light gun" games, which used a screen flicker that cannot be duplicated correctly on an lcd/plasma TV. Therefor it might work. Someone would have ...

Soundwave MP3 player

Ok, I stumbled across this on amazon and ebay and I was wondering if any of you kind folks have seen/listened to one and it if is at all worth it or if it is a shameless ploy. The photo looks awesome so I am hoping it is a decent mp3 player that would freak my coworkers out. http://ecx.images-amazon...

Of all the primes I see movie and otherwise I like the look of the Transformers Optimus Prime (Titanium, 6-inch Cybertron Heroes, Autobot) and I am hoping to snag one to put next to my G1 prime.

Wow, that is too cool.

I also just noticed that I used to have one of the jets that flipped into a guy I think it was on the 3rd or 4th page.

Hmm, this opens up a whole world of possibilities.

Insecticons from prior line?

As I have stated I am going through my old TF collection and some of the same questions came up once I got to the Insecticons. Why do they have the little yellow opening in all of their chests? Seems to me that is am awful lot of mold work for a place to hide pennies. Then upon looking down in their...
