    I can't see the first image for some reason, but the big red guy isn't looking very excited. At all.

    I'm not concerned until it responds to the command:
    UNIT 33. END HIM!

    Yes, that's a big ass robot.

    Can he hunt down smugglers who drop their shipments at the first sign of trouble and some whiny blond kid with him? #unit33

    @GitEmSteveDave_IsSlacking: Um, huge coincidence here. I'M trying to hunt down a smuggler that dropped his shipment at the first sign of trouble. The whiny blond kid is a bonus.
    What do you know of them? Be aware that disintegration is an option for me.

    I suppose the marketing department recommended the name change. The original name, Absurdly Wasteful Engineering, probably wouldn't sell very well. Of course, showing the product doesn't help matters much, either, I'm sure. #awe

    OMG! I love this shirt. I love Voltron! It's the only toy series I got the entire collection for. And I only like the lions, not the cars. They served me well till I tried to make Voltron go through a brick wall. Guess who won that battle #vitruvianvoltron

    @I see the light. It burns!: I also had the lions Volton. I was by far my absolute favorite toy for a long time before I started getting really deep into LEGO. #vitruvianvoltron

    @Kaiser-Machead: Absolutely... the show always annoyed me a little, but I was enthralled with the toys themselves. A little part of me felt like they were a more erudite and mature version of the various combining Transformers. Not that I could express myself that eloquently when I was 11, but still... inside, I knew. #vitruvianvoltron

    @met2art: Well the build quality was certainly greater than the modern Transformers toys. There's one sitting in the window across from my office right now, and I so freaking want it, but it's awesome to see one again in person, albeit from far away. #vitruvianvoltron

    @Kaiser-Machead: Man I envy you. I have no imagination when it comes to Lego. I couldn't even build a lego Voltron without detailed step-by-step instructions that a "slow" monkey could follow. #vitruvianvoltron

    @Kaiser-Machead: The articulation and heft of those metal lions was incredible. Hours and hours of imagination-fueled battles against virtually every other toy I owned, and Voltron always won. When I played Voltron, the team never waited until being near total defeat before deciding to use the sword as a last resort... my team always pulled that baby out first and kicked some serious ass without delay. #vitruvianvoltron
