Visually, yes. But her strong-but-nurturing personality was all based on his wife, and her relationship with Scott was based on Roz and Jack.

Steranko?

The best potato chips are Zapp's, from Louisiana. They're thick, crunchy kettle-cooked chips that come in a variety of great flavors, and they are all amazing.

So HP Sauce is brown sauce? I love that stuff, and always ask for a bottle to go with my "chips" at this Irish pub.

I hate that character because I had a boss for a few years who looked just like him, with the mannerisms and vocal inflections and everything.

We're getting an Ollie's, but I used to find Herr's chips in very odd, interesting flavors at Big Lots for years before Wawa convenience stores even opened in our area.

Interesting that other sources (Vulture and Splitsider) haven't mentioned Chris Redd at all, just Mikey Day and these two.

I LOVED Herr's ketchup chips, which I used to be able to get at Wawa here in FL. They haven't carried them in a long time, although they do carry most other Herr's flavors.

I only buy Duke's mayo now, after never being a big mayo fan for most of my life (due to parents buying "light" Hellman's and/or Miracle Whip).

Someone (HBO) needs to make a Robotech Macross series, which would have badass pilots flying Valkyrie jets that transform into robots, a city rebuilding society on a space station, love triangles, an adorable pop star, and a war with aliens who eventually become our allies and try to live together in peace. It would

I'm glad they got Peter Cullen to do the voice, but I'm not thrilled that Prime became more and more violent and bloodthirsty throughout those movies.

Ratchet was the only ambulance who was killed (we never saw First Aid or the other Protectobots in the movie), but we definitely see Wheeljack's corpse in Autobot City, along with Windcharger.

When the 1986 toys started appearing in the summer leading up to the movie, I saw the Ultra Magnus figure with the white repaint of Optimus Prime that fit inside the "armor," and I wondered if he was going to be some new incarnation of Prime, or a powered-up version. When Prime died and turned gray in the movie, I

Take pictures, if you do. I desperately need to dust my action figures and take some new photos. A lot of them look like "Arctic" variants from the dust buildup on my shelves.

I don't think Springer was ever referred to by name in TF: The Movie. I remember leaving the theater liking the green helicopter guy, but not knowing if he was "made-up" like Arcee (meaning he didn't have his own toy), or what.

Soundwave was cool, and I had a soft spot for Cyclonus and Scourge due to TF: The Movie, but the Decepticons were far more evil, murderous, sadistic, genocidal in the Marvel comics than in the cartoon, so I never wanted any of them as a kid. Even now, as an adult collector, I don't have any, don't want any.

There's a brand-new Fortress Maximus out too, which is as big as Metroplex.

It has a crazy, coked-up '80s rock soundtrack (plus Weird Al's Devo tribute song "Dare to Be Stupid" scoring a big fight sequence), tons of violence and death, a pretty by-the-numbers hero's journey story, and some cool character designs. I think it's far beyond the quality of the original cartoon (it came out in

"I can't deal with that now!"

Thank you for your service. And I'm glad you liked it. Obviously I'm in the minority there!
