This week's Top Eleven takes us back to Cybertron, as I randomly pick out the best Autobots and Decepticons who debuted in Transformers: The Movie. Now sure, some could argue that it's a pretty bogus list considering that there wasn't much more than eleven TFs to debut in the flick, but come on, you have no idea how difficult it was for me to cut Scourge. Labored and debated over that one for like forever and shit. If you were hoping for something a little more grounded in the action figure side of things, go back and check out this article from last September, about Rodimus, Galvatron and Party Animal Optimus Prime.
Oh, almost forgot. While at that Poconos flea market I talked about last week, we came across one item of particular interest. Remember that Madball character who was just a big, bloodshot eye? Oculus Orbus or something like that? Well, the market wasn't selling Madballs, but reasonable facsimiles aren't anything to balk at...
The Oculus Orbus Water Ball! You know, I didn't quite understand that whole "water ball" craze when my nieces and nephews kept pelting me in the balls with 'em, but now that I've had the chance to play with them myself, they're actually really fun. "Actually really." Sounds like a pitch from Heather to get Veronica to her first Remington party. Anyway, I think a few kids choked to death on these, so they're not usually sold in the big chain toy stores anymore. Fortunately, they're still sold everywhere else. Pick one up. You'll never put it down, even if it starts oozing on you.
