Jetfire and Presto Magix Box

Needed to go through some old clothes in my closet. Since I had Martin Luther off and it was raining all day, I did just that. Think I had about a dozen chinos and slacks that didn't even fit me anymore and not too many shirts. Majority of my wardrobe consists of t-shirts and jeans. During my cleaning I came across a lot of old things, but I had to pull out these two out since they were right where I was cleaning... my G1 Jetfire (which I still call Skyfire at times) and this Presto Magix Transformers box.

Jetfire was sitting with a bunch of other stuff, on the highest shelf in my closet. Not in a box like all my other loose Transformers figures... not sure why... He looks in pretty good shape. Joints are all in good condition. Little bit of dust on him, but a wipe should clean him off. Some of the white parts are not as white. Seems to have dulled out from all these years unprotected in the closet. Think I am going to leave him out on my desk for a while.

Can't say the same for the Presto Magix box. The top of the box is a bit caved in from the pressure of other items being on top of it for so many years. Opened it up and the inside looks in good shape. All the peel and lift stickers are all there on the two sheets. For some odd reason, I thought I left all the stickers on the surface of the backboard. Must have put them back on their original sheets before I put it away.

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen Screening

Just got back from seeing a screening of the new Transformers movie, Revenge of the Fallen tonight. Got to see this at the screening theater on the Paramount lot, which has an incredible sound system and seating. All I can say about this movie is... OMG!... Unbelieveable! This one was way better than the first one. Now I can see how Shia LaBeouf hurt his hand during the filming of his stunts. The action is just incedible and Megan Fox looks absolutely smokin' HOT! Lots of laughs... Mudflap and Skids are two of the funniest Autobots in the movie. Then there are even more Transformers in this movie... there are even Insecticons and a Prentender in this one...

Everyone from the first movie returns to this sequel, along with some new characters. Finally we get to see the Constructicons and Devastator, Soundwave, Ravage, Jetfire and Arcee in the film. Although not quite in the same form as their cartoon and toy counterparts. A little disappointed with that, but can live with it. New Autobots: the Twins (Mudflap and Skids), the motorcycle sisters (Arcee, Chromia and Moonracer), Sideswipe, Wheelie, Jolt and Jetfire. New Decepticons: the Constructicons (plus Devastator), Soundwave, Ravage, the Doctor (Scalpel), Demolishor, Sideways, Rampage, the Fallen and more in their protoforms.

I really, really did not like the first movie. Mostly because the CGI designs of the Transformers and their choices on who they used in the film. But this one has much better CGI in it, I can actually tell what Decepticon is fighting. Sadly some of my favorite Autobots don't look like they survive this one. One thing that seemed kind of odd to me - Are bullets really that effective against a giant metal robot? Maybe a granade/rocket launcher would be a better choice... I'm just saying...

I am definitely going to see this movie again over the weekend.
