    “Clean out the vacuum now, set the table with nice plates. Answer the door right now, smile nice for your date. Make sure he does not find out you have been stalking. Stop the guy at gunpoint, make sure he’s not talking. Bury the body now, nothing’s creepy, nothing’s jarring. Quite alarming, this is scarring.” “ChargerTron”
    “This was an ad for ChargerTron. Sorry for the confusion.”

      @@tenacious645 Ashens has averaged 177k views on his last 12 videos and not all of those views were even from his subs because his channel isn't unlisted. Stop pretending that sub counts mean anything.
      If you have 1.4m subs but only 177k views, then 1.2m of those subs are demonstrably meaningless and worthless.
      It's also worth considering that Internet Historian has 1.9m subs, while averaging 4m views per video. Sub counts mean nothing about channel size, _especially_ with a channel as old as Ashens.. hell a good 100k of Ashens' subs have probably died IRL.

    I never was interested in this toy as a kid nor did I ever know anyone to have one or even speak of it. I actually purchased one recently meant on the card. I do not have any plans on opening it. it is not worth anything, I only paid $10 for it. it's just a neat little thing to add to my collection of random 80s transforming robots.
