May your year be filled with Roche and Roberts and may Uncle Furman bless your endeavours!

Good riddance, Lithone. Oh, I went there, but everyone was thinking it.

8 years since the death of Optimus Prime.

Surely 25, or 21 depending on which resurrection we're talking about, Powermaster or Action Master?
