Oh, Dad.

I HAS A FERNY. FOR THREE BUCKS. Admittedly he's missing some of his ant legs and if he had a gun he certainly doesn't have one now, but it's still Inferno in his sexconfusing blenderbutted glory.

Me: So yeah, Transformers is basically car marketing waiting to happen.
Dad: So are there any hybrid Transformers?
Me: I...dunno? Maybe?
Dad: They'd have to see if they could mate a small car and a vacuum cleaner.
Me: ...I guess? Put on some soft music, lock them in a room, come back in a week and you have a hybrid.
Dad: You can use that in one of your stories, if you want.
Me: ...

Combine this with the fact that my mom thinks the US Air Force symbol looks like the Decepticon insignia and I think I've corrupted my whole family.

Aah, you should have said! I've got two Infernos, I could have given you one.

Really? Cool. ^_^

I wasn't even intending to pick anything up, it was mostly because Dad wanted father-daughter time before I went back to school and he figured I liked it. Usually the prices there are jacked up like hell--fifteen to twenty dollars for a cassetticon. But it was an Inferno and it was three dollars and it was there to be rescued.

XDDDDD My dad does that occasionally. "WHAT WOULD THIS CAR LOOK LIKE AS A TRANSFORMER?!?!"

[seiberwing.livejournal.com]

He does that when we go by constructicon equipment or something weird. "Look, it's a Transformer!"

Huh, I just compared the USAF logo vs. the Decepticon logo, and there are some similarities. It's mostly how angular they are, I think.

Bwahahahahahaha...ha.

Well, the Air Force did give'em a really shiny form for Screamer...a high (astronomical, even) maintenance but oh-so-cool looking F-22. Maybe it was all a sign in the beginning?

XD You got to love fathers. They say and suggest the funniest things. Give him a hug and a kiss for me because this man deserves it. ^^

I'll pass the message along!

Aw, Inferno was like my favorite character from BW. I think that Jolt from the movie is supposed to be a hybrid?

[seiberwing.livejournal.com]

I had no clue who Jolt was until after the movie, so...

Haha. That made me smile.

Haha. My dad's pretty cheesy too. Gotta love 'em, huh?
