Yup. No gun on the movie but he did have an Eric Idle voice and a Weird Al Yankovic sooundtrack so the toy should come with those things.

A voice chip that screams "Do ron ron ronnie mo!" at the slightest provocation.

The Weird Al song is the only thing wrong with an otherwise perfect film.

It's awful. I had the soundtrack tape as a kid and was always annoyed that after 9 astounding tracks of brilliance it ended with some pish about mashed potatoes. It didn't fit at all!
TF:TM is a film of shining brilliance that I can watch again and again with just this one small flaw.

Dare To Be Stupid is brilliantly used in the Movie. Perhaps it shouldn't have been the curtain call on the album but in the actual film it's very energetic.
The only thing wrong with The Transformers The Movie is Unicron's stupid ring overlapping that building on Lithone at the beginning.

I just don't understand why there's a song about mashed potatoes in the middle.

Have you ever actually paid attention to the lyrics?

Yes. Confusing nonsense. The singer is really bad too.

Honestly, always hated it. The only part of the Movie I dislike. If folk like the song that's fine. -Ralph |

My son adores that song. Especially the Mashed potatoes line.

TF:TM is a film of shining brilliance that I can watch again and again with just this one small flaw. The movie (which I re-watched just last night) is tonally all over the place. It's a toy advert that somehow features a (relatively) heavy(ish) rock opening song, two of the most traumatic/memorable death sequences in cinema history, a character that talks in rhyme, a previously-unmentioned magic bauble that solves the main story problem, and a robotic squid living amongst robotic fish in an oceanic ecosystem that makes no sense. Mashed potatoes fit as well as anything else does in the film. Although, to be fair, it is the weakest song on the soundtrack, and shouldn't have been the closing song of the album. But then putting albums together for proper effect seems to be something that not all production companies think is important... |

It was also the B-Side of the 7" single of The Touch!

I do hope Junkyard has a new head and a few different colours. He needs to be distinct.

So we're buildind a new room on my house. After some window shenanigans, which is an entire pain in the ass in and of itself, we get back home. I go inside to eat lunch, and check my phone. Fedex tracking says Wreck-Gar's here. I didn't see it.
I go out to double look. It's not there. Tracking says left at front door.
It's not there. It's not at my parent's house.
So I drive up the road.
I found it, chunked into a neighbor's yard. Just... Tossed over the fence on the grass. Not even close to their door. Looked like he just drove by and tossed it out the window.

Oh Wreck-Gar's gonna be a fun one.
I never realized how off the previous ones have been. Even though I still love the Generations/RtS one.

Opened Wreck-Gar last night. What a figure! He is everything he should be and looks fab. Wasn't expecting to find ratchets in his hips, but his legs are very poseable. Free movement in the wheels, slotting the back one between his legs brought back many memories of trying to wiggle the one into place on the original. I'm surprised the orange spikes are quite so hard, I'd have thought they'd have to be much softer for safety.

Wreck-Gar is far more fun than he has any right to be.

Looks like he went to the need list.
