my Optimus Prime story...
'tis a short story, so i might as well tell it...
so, after much debate, i decided to pony up the $40 for Armada Prime. and then i shelled out $5 more for the 4 AA batteries that are needed to make it work. i get it home, spend the next 20 minutes just getting the thing out of the package, and finally i have this pretty decent looking prime in my hands. at this point i only have mild issues with the trailer (it sucks hard). so i transform him, and it works beautifully. then i transform him for the super robot and he works fine again...so far doing okay. then i tried transforming him again because he was my new, EXPENSIVE, toy and i wanted to play. the tralier never transformed on it's own again. i know the batteries in the trailer are good, they've got those testors on them...so it is instead a problem with the three butten cell batteries in Prime himself that are dead. those things are like $4 each!!! needless to say, i am not a happy camper. but knowing how tough it was just to get someone at Hasbro to return my phone calls when i wanted to set up toy reviews, i know i'm not going to get anywhere if i try and make a complaint...
