Although I like to think I have a healthy grasp on reality, things like this make me as giddy as a schoolgirl.

I've got yer Hot Rod right here!

A little more birthday money was spent on the Toys R Us exclusive 'Transformers Animated 'Rodimus Minor' - F(*k you lawyers - from here on out he'll be known by his proper name: Hot Rod!
The Transformers Animated toyline has started pumping out some awesome toys, sadly most are hitting at the end here. Hot Rod, like Arcee before him, are exclusive to Toys R Us (and Toys R Us Express stores, where I found mine) so they are a little tough to come by.

He also cost close to $20, which is pretty steep for a Transformer his size, but well worth it to get this character in this style.

Hot Rod has an excellent, immediately recognizable robot mode and in true modern Transformer fashion he's as poseable and articulated as most modern action figures...

...unlike his stiff-as-a-board counterpart - still one of my favorite Transformers ever.

TFA Hot Rod's vehicle mode is pretty nice too - a great animated/modern take on the classic G1 Hot Rod.

It's also cool that the proportions/size of the vehicles are almost exactly the same.

Vroom vroom.

Due to my love of Hot Rod, this new take was a must have for me. But any Transformer lover would be keen to have him. He's a great new take on a classic character and makes a very good looking robot and vehicle. His transformation isn't overly simple nor is it overly complicated either.

Hot Rod rocks.

Pomplamoose

I just discovered Pomplamoose and they are the absolute awesomostest! Not only are they a pure joy to listen to, but their videos are compelling viewing, capturing the exuberance of Nataly Dawn and Jack Conte as they create some truly beautiful tunes. And yes Nataly Dawn may very well be the cutest thing I have ever laid eyes on.



And holy hell they can even make a Beyonce song sound good!



Check out more on Pomplamoose's YouTube page and their website or else you will make Nataly sad.

Batman: The Brave and the Bold is the greatest thing ever.

And to prove it, I submit the following.

From Batman #676 (Batman: R.I.P.)

From 'The Knights of Tomorrow' (which can be viewed right now online at Cartoon Network.com.)




And originally hailing from the comic book 'Batman and Robin' I submit Flamingo, Professor Pyg and Mr. Toad!




This may have only been a brief montage scene and they may have changed a lot for the sake of a half hour story, but dammit Batman: The Brave and the Bold not only rocks because yes, they went there, but they go freakin' EVERYWHERE! And they do it, supposedly, on a kid's show aimed at the younger audiences!

Don't be fooled; they love us old geekzer types too. And I love them!
