I'm Just Waiting for Transformers 8 to Call π
A host presents a Sig Sauer 365 Macro pistol with suppressor and new optic line as a gift to a Transformers actor/personality. The guest is surprised and delighted by the gift, though humorously uncertain about how to transport it back to Los Angeles. They plan to test fire it after the interview.
