I Drool In Futility

I am officially in love. Who with you ask? With Ultra Magnus and Jetfire.


If I had the money, I'd pounce on Jetfire instantly - one of my brothers, Grey I think, used to own a Jetfire exactly like that and I was frigging mad for the thing. That was a long time ago though, plus most of Jet's kibble got lost over time, but still, if I could scrape together US$160 plus postage, I'd get him.

Ultra Magnus, well I think Grey had one of him too - that exact one, kibbly partsformer who is at soul an Optimus recolour. I couldn't help but find interesting that, as mentioned on Mag's article on the TF wiki, that at least one of the G1 comics had him lose the armour and look like a white twin of OP - plus in more than one continuity he's considered practically OP's brother. I figured that out myself while playing with my brother's toy and thought Mags looked like how OP did in the Hate Plague storyline while he was coated with some super heat resistant white alloy.

Dear Eru, I have really lost it, haven't I? I'm inclined to go hunting tomorrow and see if the video store has a copy of the '86 movie in stock, or barring that, see if that box set of the G1 cartoon has the movie included in it.


But dammit, I wish I could get those toys! I simply can't afford them though! If anyone wanted to send me a christmas present, there's what I'd really like.


Edit: I followed up a financing option I was discussing with sirea1182 on AIM - I think I might be able to get Jetfire! My icon change says it all.
