Roleplay

We all have our coping mechanisms ;)

On a (slightly) less nerdy note, have you noticed that the phrase “[insert verb]… THIS!” is an epidemic in action movies? Heroes love to shout that line just before landing a finishing blow or launching a missile or something of the sort. It’s almost a code: shorthand for “I am clever with puns and defiant at the same time.”

Here are just a few that are stuck in my head:


[Just before firing a rocket at a robotic drill.] “Dig THIS!”


VILLAIN: “I can read your every move!”

HERO: “Read THIS!”

[HERO proceeds to stab VILLAIN with a knife embedded in a book. I kid you not.]


[Just before destroying some Borg thing.] “Assimilate THIS!”


Can you tell where those quotes came from? They were all major, relatively recent films ;)

When Optimus Prime is in truck mode, where else would his face go?

…Of course, this only works if you read it in his deep, booming voice. Hey, do they make Transformer-themed GPSs? They should.

Special thanks to chunkeefunkeemunkee for the crazy idea.

For a while, I wavered between using Optimus from the movie or Optimus classic. But only the new one would talk to Sam, right?

This is actually one of the newer comics I hold in reserve (I draw these things a couple months in advance). But the movie timing was just too good to pass up. We’ll be returning to our regularly scheduled (i.e. older and less pretty) stuff tomorrow ;)
