“Some people don’t get the Transformers. It’s simple. They’re big robots. And they change into things. And they fight. This is beautiful and mad. If you do not get this, there is something missing in your soul.”

My Metroplex snapped at the waist. My dad glued him back together, but his legs were the wrong way around. This put him at quite a disadvantage when it came to fighting Scorponok (although Lord Zarak, Scorponok’s wee heid-guy, had to make do with an unmoving glued-on arm).

At least Death’s Head is SUPPOSED to have a removable hand.

I broke the arm of my Megatron, and Hasbro sent me another one.

THEN IT HAPPENED AGAIN.

I had a green bootleg Shockers from Tandy. AND THEN PHILIP HINGERTY BROKE ITS LEG WHEN WE WERE PLAYING!

DEATH TO PHILIP HINGERTY! DEATH!*

*I really hope Phil isn’t dead, as I’ll feel terrible now.

God, I still rue the day I walked away from the silver bootleg Shockwave I saw in the hardware store up the road. In my defence, I was ten, and I doubt my Granny would have lent me the tenner. Also, i seem to recall being concerned about the lead content of the paint.

…yeah.

In passing, Bobsy Mindless has done a post about one of the things which makes Brit-UK comics folk of a certain age love Death’s Head:

Shockwave vs Death’s Head.

It’s that final step after all the combat which does it.
