Caption the Pic > News from Eternia
Today’s CtP was going to be a straight cartoon for next week, but I decided it would be a lot funnier to see what you folks can come up with. This week’s prize is: a MOC Hulkbuster Iron Man!
Toy Fair 2008 > Transformers Round-Up
Just as Paul has taken up the mantle of PGPoA’s Star Wars and G.I. Joe correspondent, PrfktTear has volunteered to pick up my slack on Hasbro’s Transformers offerings. Take it away, PT!
Hello all! PrfktTear here. Poe has asked me to help out with Transformers news and observations. You might know me from posting over at [...]
