  • Chill bumps? More like goose balls ;) ..Notice the understated Mars missions (because there is no budget we don't promote these achievements in our promo) But yes it's true: We need to keep going 'further'. That's what I tell my girlfriend every night anyway.. 

  • No video? :(

  • It's not Optimus, it's Peter Cullen narrating in his own voice. Just needed to point that out.
