The Hand of Megatron

When I arrived home last night after spending the weekend at my parent’s place – Neptune (my cat) was there to meet me.

Unfortunately for him, he was sitting besides Megatron’s bite-marked hand (detached from the rest of him).

This hand belongs to my Revoltech Megatron – an ultra-posable but non-transformable figure I bought on Ebay a while back. It’s not a cheap toy – this is more of a collector’s piece. I’d left him on the table in the kitchen, and Neptune had obviously decided to attack it and pulled the hand (lower arm) off.

So as you can imagine, Neptune didn’t get a very friendly greeting from me.

But it gets worse, when I tried to reattach his arm, the trade-mark Revoltech joint broke!

So my Megatron was mostly ‘armless.

This made me even madder with Neptune, who finally realized I wasn’t about to give him a treat, and went away and hid for a bit (smart move).

 

Fourtuantly for Megatron (and Neptune) I had a 2nd Revoltech. It was some ugly yellow dude that looks like he has a chicken’s head. No idea where he’s from – but when I was looking at Megatron (and the other couple of Transformers) on ebay, I placed a $1 bid or something on this guy, and ended up winning him. He’s been in his box ever since while I decided who I’d give him to – as I didn’t want him.

Even though the Yellow Fool is smaller than Megatron, they did manage to share the same size arm-joint. So with a little work, Megatron has a slightly wrong-coloured joint, and a hand with tooth marks on it. Not perfect, but at least he has a hand again.

 

I’ve forgiven Neptune for now – but if I ever catch him on the table again he’s soooo going to regret it!

oopsy... but seriously, it wasn't entirely Neptune's fault. You did leave him on the kitchen table, and (a) you've lived with a cat before and know that they like to jump up onto higher surfaces, and (b) you might not have left 'im enough food, so he might have been looking where us humans look for food.

Fidget (lives with my parents) learnt not to get on tables and things. Neptune hasn't managed to pick that up yet.

My table holds computers occasionally, lego, paperwork etc - but it hasn't had any food for quite a while - that's what the lounge-room couch is for.

Knowing Neptune, he's probably just looking for a game. And seeing somebody nicely left him a toy on the table (within his reach) he's assumed it's fair game. really not the cleverest animal, in all reality. Just so long as he doesn't get too serious about chewing stuff, he'll be right.
