Me Grimlock

We watched "Transformers: Dark of the Moon" last weekend. It was good, but a bit trite and long. The kids didn't get bored though, with the crashes and booms, explosions and fast-paced action. Never mind the story.

When we got home, I digged out Grimlock, from Hasbro's "Transformers: Alternators" line. He was in a ziplock bag, unassembled. I had to rebuild him into a Ford Mustang GT (yes, he's a Dinobot, but in the "Binaltech" {the Japanese "Alternators"} storyline, he was reborn into a Mustang form).

Using manuals scavenged from the Internet (Grimlock was released in 2005, when kuya was four years old), kuya Gab transformed him into the robot form in the pics. I couldn't transform him back to the Mustang, though. Heh. Grimlock was originally kuya Gab's, but now he's Julian's, who *loves* it. He used to play with it when he was a baby, but that was a disaster, hence the ziplock bag. He's more careful with his toys now. (Well, not so much with his LEGO, but that's another story.)

I'll take better photos next time.

Finally got around to organizing the chargers for the various phones and gadgets. No more spaghetti wiring; all tied nicely and in one place.
