I really really really wanted the Optimus Prime Transformer truck
as I coveted my mate's one hard. My birthday arrived - I think I was eleven - and a suspiciously truck-shaped gift was handed to me. My moment had arrived, it was going to be great. It's a truck! It's a robot!

Nope, it was a radio shaped like Optimus Prime. It didn't transform. I'd been given the gift of Radio 1 and Horizon 103.3FM.

I cried.

Awww bless
Maybe your parents thought that was what you wanted... all the Optimus Prime stuff sort of looked the same but transformed into different things!! Perhaps with the release of the new films you will get your truck! :D

I bought Optimus Prime a few years ago cos I loved it as a child
But Marcus Bleens stole it in the playground and I was too scared of him to tell the teacher.
