I bought up a G1 Cosmos form a drunk bum once for around 30 HUF (back then, that was around 0,15$?) but I don't think that counts as "luck"...

Oh and let's not forget that recently Robotkingdom sent me 4 Animated Ultra Magnuses instead of two (they shipped two packages). I was considering returning the surplus, but my next package (ROTF Legends Devastator and others) got taxed at customs to a whooping 35$ because the idiots marked the full price of the items on the package instead of 60$ (tax-free)... I kinda changed my mind.

TWO AniMagnuses. Wow. Cost me US$20.76 just to get one.

AutobotGirl told them of the 4 UM and they wanted to screw you!

If they are all hot chicks with Megan Fox-like "upgrades", I won't resist...

Speaking of weird luck, I popped down to the roadside flea market and you won't believe what I found - RotF Sideswipe. Sure it was broke at that flimsy part of the roof, but it holds together in robot mode and it did just cost US$2.77 approx. At least I know how to fix one up now.

I don’t ‘get’ Megan Fox.
That seems like a fairly reasonable statement out of context; people can go thought-out their entire lives and not truly understand every aspect of someone, even themselves, it seems reasonable I wouldn’t ‘know’ her from the few seconds she isn’t bending over something provocatively onscreen.
But no; I don’t ‘get’ the appeal of Megan Fox.

No, that’s not to say I think she’s unattractive, i'm sure in 'real life' i would jump at the chance (and subsequently fall flat) but when compared to the average Hollywood fodder, I don’t see the distinction that demands she gets additional attention.

Frankly, she looks as if you would need to hose her down several times with disinfectant before touching.
I get it, she was a mechanic in the film, she was meant to look greasy, but doing promotional material in a dress? Hum.

I’m sure you’ll all disagree.

I'm still waiting for the big revelation in TF3 - Mikaela's dad, played by Danny Trejo, and the first human to knife a TF in the FACE.

..or worse just behind the hinge of the jaw… an inch below the ear!

Actually, I agree. Fox is, frankly, nothing special. I see girls like her every day on the streets - with a little stylist help, many of them could do the same sort of "acting" (<insert sarcastic comment here>) as Ms. Fox.

But then, my ideal woman is Angelica Bridges, so maybe it's just me.

(Frankly though, even the girl who played 'Alice' acted better then Fox).

I 'member when she was first announced as part of the TF cast and I blithely referred to her as a Hollywood McActress. The ensuing hype/slathering was baffling - I honestly thought she'd just be your regular film eye candy.

Still not keen. I just don't dig the Kilroy look.

That makes two of us. She comes off as quite the skanky ditz.

I'll be honest, part of me wants to just bitch slap the girl. There are so many more attractive women in Hollywood, yet she continues to get the buzz despite her C-list acting.

Quite sad.

AutobotGirl · Post by **AutobotGirl** » Wed Sep 02, 2009 2:36 pm

oh well maybe they will kill her off in the third movie.

I'll go one better: I don't mind if she's naked as long as she dies.

Hardly a shocker, is it?

Not really shocking that the newspeople at Tformers don't know how to spell Adolf, either.

So if he's Hitler and Napoleon all in one I hope he never has to shot a movie in Russia during winter...

New from Michael Bay... RED SUNSET.

Sounds promising.

"The RED Menace... deep in the WHITE of the Russian winter... they're gonna feel the BLUEs."

Cue patriotic imagery.

Wow. It doesn't matter how much Megan Fox draws, I think I would never want to direct her if she goes around saying crazy **** like that about people she's worked with. Hitler? There are lots of other Boob-A-Trons in Hollywood.

I like how you say that as if they'd all be falling over themselves to audition for you.

Well you would, wouldn't you?
