The Ark Addendum - War of the Dinobots

Another week, another edition of The Ark Addendum. This week, I thought I'd cycle back to season one with the classic episode, War of the Dinobots.

This episode features the introduction of Snarl and Swoop. I've always been a bit intrigued by the choice to split up the introduction of the Dinobots into two unrelated episodes. Generally Transformers introduced a team all at once. If it took two episodes to do so, they were generally a two-part episode. The Dinobots, though, warranted special treatment.

The actual models available to me for this episode mostly concern the unstable meteor that comes to Earth. I have both the meteor itself and the observatory where it was detected.

Finally, the We Dream For Jeanne charity auction of my Transformers wedding cake topper is up today. I must say, I'm impressed and humbled by the response that has already been demonstrated - currently, as of about 1:00 AM on 10/13/09, it's up to $105.50 with 15 hours left to go. To everyone who's put in a bit, my sincere gratitude. And again, if you win, please drop me a line and I'll see if I can't throw in a little something extra. Don't forget to drop by the We Dream For Jeanne blog for more information about the cause.
