June 11th 2008 - 15 years of and one year of

So just what did Amber, Amber's Other Half, Razzie and greenraptor get up to this year? Did having two equally awesome movies to celebrate cause a problem? And what does the UK version Nightwatch Optimus Prime actually look like?

I confess that there was more TFing than JPing, mainly because we'd never had a TF Anniversary before, but it was still an awesome party! We all met in London, then went straight to the nearest supermarket to get stocked up on all the sugary food we could get our claws on. Since we looked so exotic, we had two security guards stalking us!

Once we had all the food we could carry, we went to Amber's house to start playing with her Transformers toys... over 200 of them!! I almost phail at JP collecting by comparison - it took me several years to get all the Series 1 toys, but Amber's "New Cybertron" colony was only founded last year!

Playtime over (mainly because I was getting pwned by Voyager Prime and nearly died on the cuteness of the little Blackout Skorponok) it was off the greenraptor's house for sleeping. Of course, when morning came there was more TFing to be done and I decided it was time to bring out the camera. After a good few hours reading / playing / tattooing / singing / eating ourselves silly it was time for me to leave, which was the perfect excuse for the traditional "March of the Geeks".

The March happens every Anniversary - the idea is to get the most stares as possible from the local humans. This year we blew all previous records out of the water because we walked from greenraptors house, through the local shopping centre and into the train station at school closing time. I swear to Primus we got double-takes, good-natured comments and one tiny fleshie in a pushchair trying to shout something but he was too young / overexcited to understand!

And you won't even have to wait until next year for more TF / JP awesomeness - we're meeting up again next month!!

Ever wondered what's different about Nightwatch Optimus Prime?

Nightwatch Prime hunts Decepticons through the jungles, I mean cities, of Earth in his snazzy green / black / silver paintjob! The American version has bright "AllSpark green" cyan decorations.

Amber and Barricade pose for camera, while Bumblebee dares greenraptor's left hand to transform into The Finger!!

Razzie taking part in the ultimate JP / TF crossover and before you ask, yes those Leader Primes really are THAT massive.

If you're looking at this picture with a "WTF?" expression, you should have seen all the "WTF?" expressions when I went outdoors with them mwahahahaaaa!!

Thanks to the new Indiana Jones movie, you can finally get a Sam Witwicky figure! He's the same scale as JP3 humans...

... so in other words when Megatron gets fed up of the fleshbag sitting on his shoulders, he gets eaten whole.

G1 Starscream didn't seem to notice the massive Autobot logo on Amber's faceplates - but 07 Starscream did!!
