Three perfect moments here, some old, some new. Starting with:

Optimus Primal - Freedom is the right of all sentient beings

Megatron - Then they'd better all stay out of my way!

(Beast Wars shoots, and scores again!)

[midnightvoyager.insanejournal.com]

Did you know that Beast Wars Megatron's voice actor narrates the Enzyte commercial?

I JUST FOUND OUT.

...

MY BRAIN WILL NEVER BE RIGHT AGAIN.

(And that is your moment of random for the day.)

[icon_uk.insanejournal.com]

DUDE!! You might have warned people who DON'T know what Enzyte is (like me) so they DON'T google it on a work PC!!!

[midnightvoyager.insanejournal.com]

Oh god, that never crossed my mind. I see those damned commercials every five minutes.

Uh, so, in case you all missed it, Enzyte is a Male Enhancement Drug. It is famous for commercials about Smilin' Bob, a guy with a rictus grin because of the sheer size of his wang.

[greenmask.insanejournal.com]

I assumed it was a character from Reboot. Glad I didn't check!

[midnightvoyager.insanejournal.com]

When you're drowning in it EVERY DAY, it's easy to forget that there may be some beautiful land where that commercial does not run every commercial break or so.

I learnt that thanks to Bee in the City.

wherein a BW Megatron (takes place in a multiversal nexus point) gets a Macguffin, and rants about his " big boost of confidence.. "

... of course, there's also " This is taking longer than an Inuyasha story arc! " and " MY MANWICH " for references.

[icon_uk.insanejournal.com]

"Bee in the City" was awesome. For those not aware, it was a script reading at a Botcon, where the guest artists, and others, provide the voices for a specially written script, usually taking the mickey out of Transformers, Transfans, and anything else that moves.

*looks it up- SPEWS DRINK*

I KNOW VANGELUS. OH MY GOD. MY MIND IS BLOWN.

[raisedbymoogles.insanejournal.com]

.....YOU OWE ME SOME SRS BRAIN BLEACH.

[neuhallidae.insanejournal.com]

He's also the guy who narrates the newsreel in the beginning of Up. My mom didn't get why I was laughing myself to tears when I heard the voice.

[jeyl.insanejournal.com]

Prime: "Freedom is the right of all"
Megatron: "Oh, shut up!"

Well said! Although to give credit where credit's due, Prime did keep his face shield on.

[greenmask.insanejournal.com]

Ahh, <3Megatron.

Though I'd have chosen a different Perfect Moment for him. I can't actually remember if I have in in trade to scan though, hmm. Must check!

Oh gee though, even when the art went all XTREEEEME and robot saliva-y, there was not a moment of those old TF comics I did not enjoy. Blissful.

[tacobob.insanejournal.com]

Why do robots have teeth?

[angelophile.insanejournal.com]

Why not?

[comicoz.insanejournal.com]

I think that's from the older Transformers series where they were basically robot humans. After all, there's no reason that they would need a female robot either, right?

[greenmask.insanejournal.com]

Except for the fact that some robots might just naturally have personalities or designs that look female coded to a human?

[comicoz.insanejournal.com]

Its the mammaries on Arcee, for example, that don't make a lot of sense...

[greenmask.insanejournal.com]

Neither do a lot of the twiddly diddles on everybody else.. Like why does Optimus have a mouthplate anyway? Or a crest? What's up with the individual features that signify separate characters? It's not like she had actual tits, until she became scary spider-lady Arcee.

Besides, "hourglass" is a valid shape. They're robots.

[lookingforsigns.insanejournal.com]

They have them for the same reason they have male robots, obviously.

[raisedbymoogles.insanejournal.com]

Just to screw with the squishies! ;D

[raisedbymoogles.insanejournal.com]

....damn, that sounds a lot worse than I meant it.

[lookingforsigns.insanejournal.com]

The art couldn't quite figure out whether it wanted them as humans-in-armor or overly robotic.

[demonprawn.insanejournal.com]

You don't fuck with Grimlock.

[unknownscribler.insanejournal.com]

Dredd / Grimlock

[raisedbymoogles.insanejournal.com]

Grimlock = Cybertron's Chuck Norris?

[comicoz.insanejournal.com]

I've gotta start getting this again. My local shop stopped stocking it after #5 and I'd forgotten about it.

[just_mrasaki.insanejournal.com]

Why is the mud white and goopy?

[angelophile.insanejournal.com]

I think it's meant to be water. However, alien planet, mud can be another color if it wants to?
