MIB: in response to your earlier query...the name is probably Lao Hu, which makes sense since that's tiger in mandarin. However, don't take my word for it, since i'm not that "down" with mech commander.

But, dialectally, each brick has become known as a "Lego". Just like it may be more correct to say that, when one has a headache, one is going to take a "Tylenol capsule", but people still just say they're going to take a "Tylenol". Same concept.

Well, ask the guys at The Lego Group, mounting an information campaign to be sure that their brand is used correctly when mentioned.

And Lego comes from the Danish "Leg Godt", which means "play well". Curiously, it's also a conjugation of the Latin verb "legare", to join, to unite.

Look. We invented the language. We would never say "Lego". We are right. Guv'ner.

Yes, you're despicable, and... and picable... and... and you're definitely, definitely despicable. How a person can get so despicable in one lifetime is beyond me. It isn't as though I haven't met a lot of people. Goodness knows it isn't that. It isn't just that... it isn't... it's... it's despicable.

Shik: Those aren't classic Transformers being bought back. Basically, to save money, Hoasbro is just bringing over the Japanese "Car Robots" line, which was their TF line for 2000-2001. And they are dubbing the Japanese anime (since that sort of thing is popular these days).

The toys are pretty cool though. Here are the two biggest Autobot/Cybertron (as they are called in Japan) toys, and what they will be called in the US:

Fire Convoy/Optimus Prime

God Magnus/Ultra Magnus

AND! If that wasn't enough, they combine to form this monster.

I own all these. Because I am cool. Yes. You heard me. Cool. Rar!

And now I have actually fixed the link to point to God Magnus.

And then I posted something silly, and deleted it.

And I always thought Optimus was just really sensitive.

After that, I'm afraid to even think about any more theories as to where he sticks his trailer while in robot mode...
