     And speaking of toys, have I mentioned yet that Magnaboss rules? No, I haven't. Well, Magnaboss rules. It's up their on my Fave Toys of 1997 list, the one I carry around in my head. What's Magnaboss? He's the new deluxe Beast Wars, the one with the lion, eagle, and elephant that turn into three robots that turn into one robot. He's one mammajamma of a Transformer.

     Important note:
     Tanks are big, bad mamma-jammas. Tanks eat Gears for breakfast. Do not attempt to take on tanks in a Gear sans support. If you see more than one tank /run/, unless you're a fast moving scout with a TAG laser so you can call in indirect fire from your buddies over the hill. :)
