As goofy as that is, it's good evidence for the theory mutants are actually all reality manipulators. I'd love Magneto to do that again in a modern comic.

Hey, with a name like Volto from Mars we're lucky he doesn't introduce himself with an overwrought prog metal song

He has to touch his wrist too. I'm not sure if there's a greater context to these or what but it was a super weird ad campaign. Especially the "Grape Nuts won't give you magnetic powers ;)" bit.

That's just part of Grape Nuts' long tradition of disappointingly false advertising. It's neither grapes, nor nuts, nor capable of empowering children with scientifically retarded magnetic powers.

Optimus Prime is supposed to be a military genius with millions of years of memories. The biggest 5¼‑inch floppy disk held 360kb.

Cybertron has amazing compression algorithms.

Even an A.I. that keeps StarScream around as second in command would require more than 360kb. Hell, even John McCain's a couple of gigs.

I can buy the storage medium as a product of the time, but I'm more amused by Optimus being kept with all those other floppies. Are they just as important? Or does this dude keep the mind of a sentient being with his spreadsheets?

You laugh, but the reason Prime's on a floppy is because he entered a video game virtual deathmatch with Megatron (on that kid's supercomputer), and the loser would have their body destroyed. Optimus lost because he went out of his way to save a bunch of video game NPCs even though they weren't real, and he ended up getting blown up.

Nobody knew that the kid saved Prime on disk, and for the next bunch of issues he uses Prime as a character in his video games, and Prime thinks he's just a character in the games.

Yeah.
