Hey guys

I found this interesting news story. There's an auction in Japan for a special edition RX-8 Transformer. It's been autographed by pop-idol Mayuko Isawa and I believe that the proceeds to the auction go to a charity for orphans of traffic accidents. I don't read Japanese, so I'm going by the info that I got from the Transformer website.

Anyhoo, there's no pic of the robot mode but I think that it's paint job is pretty ugly. The girl is cute though!

Yea, it's a transformer. I thought that I pestered everybody on the board about the toy that everybody knew about it. Well, do a search and you'll see me talking about it. If you want to take a look at what the robot mode looks like, you can try this link.
