    I have many unpopular Transformers opinions, but most of them have more to do with what I DISlike. But for the sake of positivity, I’ll focus on what I actually DO like.

    First up is Wheelie. I LOVE Wheelie. I think he’s adorable and fun and I really don’t get why so many people hate him.

    Another character I love who I DO understand the hate for is TFA Sentinel Prime. I love the big jerk. Despite him supposedly being a ‘Frank Burns’ character, he has far more depth than that, and I really wish it had been expanded upon. Especially after he had the confrontation with Blackarachnia. I always felt that it was a missed opportunity for character growth.

    And lastly (I have way more, but I don’t want to give you guys another essay to read XD), I love the RiD15 cartoon. I know a lot of fans are lukewarm on it, but for me it was excellent. It felt like a more refined version of the G1 cartoon in that it was silly, had some downright bizarre plotlines (Brother Gunter, anyone?), but still had amazing voice actors and memorable characters. It’s not perfect, but it’s still one of my favourite TF cartoons.

    So, yeah. Great show, guys! Keep being awesome!

    A couple of questions for you guys.

    1) What is you current Holy Grail in toys right now?

    2) What is the most you have spent on a Grail figure?

    3) What is the most you are willing to spend on a grail figure?

    4) What do you consider is something from Transformers that sells for ridiculous prices ?

    I kind of think that some of the G1 Parts such as the hose , pump and nozzle from Optimus Prime sell for some crazy prices. I know some G1s have been re-released as KOs and re-issues and it hard to tell them apart from the original. So on that note do you think if someone used a 3D printer and made a ton of as I suggested the hose , pump, and nozzle from G1 Optimus Prime would hurt or help the market?
    (I say those parts as I need them to complete my reissue and G2 Primes)
