Anything is possible in the eyes of a… uhhh… Keith.
It’s odd, but I’m sure there’s an entire generation of now-adults who can’t help but see their favourite childhood toys in certain weapons. Toy lines like Transformers and G.I. Joe set up this strange comfort-zone with kids and war/violence. I guess that’s a little messed up when you think about it… oh well. Most people I know turned out pretty alright. By the by, puppy-kicking party at my house later…
Good to see Frank again. For those who have never met Frank, you can read his bio on the about page!

Be sure to like us on Facebook and follow us on Twitter, eh 
Oh, Megatron. One of the last toy guns that actually looked like a gun. I’m torn really. Toys should look like toys, but toy guns today seemed to have gone too far, and look like gummy candy.
I’m sure there’s a happy medium, but it’s unlikely to be found.

Y’all are too young to remember this, but in the 80′s there were a couple of highly publicized events in which people used toy guns in holdups/hostage takings and/or got themselves shot by cops because they were playing laser tag.
I have a bin of incredibly realistic toy guns that is now worth its weight in gold; they get loaned out to amateur theatre and film production groups a couple times a year because their only alternative is paying hundreds of dollars for “theatrical props”.
Good point… actually, I think I do remember hearing some of those stories.

“More than meets the eye”
“Dangerous weapons in disguise!”
Doesn’t have quite the same ring…

And that’s the difference between your word and Sluggy Freelance.
If that was Bun-bun, you’d be … sad, now.
Frank may be plotting revenge

I did the same thing one time when my friend’s dad brought his 18 wheeler home. It was hysterical.
“Oh god, what have you done to my… oh wait, that’s kind of awesome”

There is just something exiting and empowering with violence and weapons. Humans are weird.
Aliens on the other hand, they’re the normal ones, right
?
~C
I’d take the megatron any day.
Well hey, as long as it still transforms, Frank has no reason to be upset really.
~C
Ah the original Megatron. That was when they made great toys. Not plastic.
Good old days of die-cast

I wonder if this could be done with ICBMs?
Well, sure… the Russians did it with Sputnik, didn’t they
?

Frank’s a smart guy!
We like to think so

I don’t want to ruin the beauty of this comic by saying something stupid. I stand and then bow before you’re greatness.
lol – “Shhh… no words.”
Thanks James, much appreciated
. We bow back respectfully, but then fart, and ruin the moment.
~C
I’m farting too.
I remember running around the neighborhood with air rifles and cap guns playing A-Team or Davey Crockett or even Star Wars! Yup. My parents wouldn’t get me a light sabre, but totally approved a play weapon with traces of gun powder. How did we ever turn out normal?
Lol, now who said any of us are normal?
Happiness is a warm gun [sic] Transformer.
Frank may not feel the same way, but I’m sure he’ll cope

A Teddy with a gun. Cool & cool transformer transformation
Thanks, Tony!
It’d be interesting to see how that works when Teddy robs a bank as planned
Frank the Teddy only uses guns for good…and sometimes mischief.
