I have sinned...
I was in a TRU earlier tonight, just browsing around a bit. I wasn't planning on buying anything because times are harsh...
Then, my eye caught something I didn't see before.
A pretty large box, containing an iconic hero, stood there, lonely, in a vast emptiness on the shelf.
It was the first I saw and from the looks of it he had been selling pretty well, because there were only two left. I discovered the other one standing on a different shelve, surrounded by at least eight figures of his arch nemesis.
Thus the pondering began. I inspected the box, looked at the pictures on it. I pulled a "Try me" lever to hear him say his name, in a deep, warm and familiar voice.
His swords; orange, like steel being pulled out of a red hot flame, seemed ready to destroy the box that held him.
His appearance was that of a leader. A bringer of peace and hope.
And yet he seemed restricted in his box, all tied up by the evil plastic covered metal wires called "twisties".
That's when I decided to take him home with me. I paid the lovely girl behind the cash register and hurried home.
There I carefully opened the box. I carefully removed the twisties and took out the figure to behold him in all his glory:
OPTIMUS PRIME
Leader
