Brawny Points
The Story about one of the toughest Transformers, the little bot Brawn. Brawn may be one of the smallest Transformers around, but don't let his size fool you. He can pretty much take on ANY Decepticon that comes his way and beat the living crap out of them. Unless you want to be a recipient of a stolen fusion cannon blast or get a truck thrown at you, I would stay away from getting on Transformers Brawn's bad side. |

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.

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? |

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.
