But my favorite, and I cannot remember his name to save my life, was this little brown guy who turned into wither a jeep or a tank - I don't recall which. Next time I'm home I'll have to watch my "Transformers" tapes and find out which one I'm talking about!

No, that wasn't him. I may well have been thinking of Brawn, then. I'd believe that. It's been quite a while, and I am prone to misremembering.

> Oh, and Warpath was maroon, not magenta. The tint controls on your memory are out of sync. :)

What is the difference between maroon and magenta? Three orders of luminosity or something like that...
