Man Of Action

The Story about Duke who was created SPECIFICALLY to lead the GI Joe team.

Duke may not be the flashiest, or coolest GI Joe, but when it comes to being the leader of America's daring, highly-trained special mission force, there is no one else best suited for the job. A true real American Hero! So WHY did Hasbro want to replace him?

Masterpiece Autobots Season One

The Story about how I show off my Transformers Season One Autobots Masterpiece Collection....and tell some stories along the way.

Like any serious toy collector, I too have quite the sizable collection. And so in order to show it off, i've got to do a little at a time. And I'd like to start things off with what I consider to be half of my favorite display, the Autobots from my season one Masterpiece Transformers display. So here it is along with some short stories about the pieces in my collection.

Third Person Dinobot

The Story about the Transformers Grimlock and what makes him the greatest Autobot leader...or not?

We all know the mighty Grimlock as the oftentimes arrogant leader of the Dinobots. But there have been times when he's been the leader of all the Autobots as well as the leader of nothing. So what events caused his rise to power and eventual fall from grace, and where does he ultimately end up? How did this Dinobot turn into a Scavenger?

Talking Race In Stereo

The Story about how two GI Joe members might have been considered racially offensive.

Spirit and Quick Kick are two of the most popular GI Joe characters from the eighties, even if some may consider them to be negative racial stereotypes. But is this really a big issue? What are your thoughts on the matter? DO these Joes represent the best or the worst of their respective races? Or Are they all just Real American Heroes?

Everybody Loves A Grump

The Story about the Transformers Gears and an amazing little story you might not have known about.

Almost everyone counts out the Autobot Gears as nothing but a grouchy grump. Which is actually further from the truth for this Transformers minibot. There is definitely more than meets the eye with this constant complainer that makes him one of the most pleasant Autobots to hang around with. At the very least, did you even know about his rather Amazing Friend?

The Ghost In The Machine

The Story about How Transformers Skywarp had no choice but to leave the Decepticons and switch sides. The Seeker Skywarp is often overshadowed by his brothers Starscream and Thundercracker. But this crafty and sneaky Decepticon also has an interesting story to tell. From his early American origins, nearly fading out of existence and finally joining America's daring, highly-trained special mission force, there is never a dull moment with this Transformer.

Living The Van Life

The Story about why I'm not a big fan of Transformers veteran warrior Ironhide.

Despite arguably being one of the most popular original G1 Transformers, Ironhide has always been one of my least favorite characters. Whether it was due to his brash personality or lackluster toys, I never really got into this Autobot.
