Just another nitpick: I’d never heard of “Concrete Motorcycle” or “Stomp & Chomp Grimlock,” so I googled them. I can’t find any reference to the former being a video game, and the latter seems to be an action figure of a Transformers character. Not sure how these fit the character… Apologies if I’ve missed something. ---

If there were no allowance for wide subjective interpretation of the vaguely worded category, this would still have only four entries after nearly 24 hours, which is a little bit slow-moving. ---

I don’t play video games, and I’m probably not the only regular contributor to this thread with the same question. ---
