Masterpiece Theater

Okay, so recently pictures have been cropping up that there's going to be a Masterpiece version of Megs out next year, and yours truly, Pepsimus Prime, is ticked off about it.

I mean, really? How many versions of a Megatron toy are needed? There's been a Megatron in nearly every TF line so far and so far only two versions of Pepsimus Prime.

You've got G1 Megatron, G2 Megatron, Armada Megatron, Energon Megatron, Cyberton Megatron, Machine Wars Megatron, Clone Wars Megatron, Little House on the Prarie Megatron... the list goes on and on.

Me, I get a mail away offer figure that's just OP with an extra sticker and another that comes with a cardboard bottle.

And no, I am not jealous.

Really.

...

Okay, I am jealous! I mean, come on... every repaint of OP is either a white Magnus (which always--always--looks stupid) or its a black "Scourge" (oooh, look at me... I'm scary... I've got black paint... oooh). You'd think with the way that Hastak loves to repaint figures over and over that the next one out would be a Masterpiece Pepsimus Prime, right?

I mean, which would you rather have... a super detailed version of the Decepticon leader or a nice repaint of Optimus that proclaims your love for refreshing beverages?

...

...

Jerks... I hope they all get stuck in customs.

Arise... Pepsimus Prime!

Hello, all out there. The name's Pepsimus Prime, and this is my new blog.

Yeah, that's right. Like the drink.

Okay, it actually "isn't" really Pepsimus Prime, but it sounds better.

See, here's how it all went down. Big boss man Megatron had this wonderful "plan" (and we all know how his plans usually go...) to make a Decepticon warrior as strong and powerful as Optimus Prime. Went through a lot of trouble to steal Prime's blueprint from that old fart Alpha Trion, and at the same time he was making the Stunticons, he also made me.

No, I'm not part of Menasor. Only way I merge with another bot is if my foot goes up their tailpipe. Pespimus don't swing that way.

Anyways, he says to Vector Sigma "Bestow upon this creation life! Make him the exact opposite of my nemesis, Optimus Prime!" and then did one of those stupid little chuckles.

I "think" that he wanted me to just be an evil Optimus Prime, like that Scourge dude from RID. Meg-head hasn't always been the brightest bulb in the pack though. Instead, he got exactly what he said he wanted--the opposite of Optimus Prime--Pessimus Prime. Instead of being a great, noble, intelligent warrior, he got me, a lazy Decepticon who'd rather be playing Final Fantasy than fighting.

I prefer the name Pepsimus Prime though. Those pretzels making you thirsty? Have a Pepsi. Already got my own little toy made of me to.

Yeah, I'm evil, too. That goes without saying. But, I don't really want to take over the world, either. Too much work. What the heck would I do with it anyways? Use it to cover bets? "Yeah, I'll see your fiver and raise you a planet."

Anywho... been laying low for a few decades and decided that since Michael Bay is making a movie about us Transformers that it's time to make myself known, so I started this blog. Don't expect me to post every dang day though--I'm just doing this for the publicitiy.

I can see it now... Transformers: Staring Hugh Jackman as Pepsimus Prime. Yeah...
