I recently told my parents, “Ya know, growing up I’d of never thought someone would spend over 100 million dollars to turn one of my childhood cartoons into a movie.” “What’s next? He-Man? Thundercats?” <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> I thought Transformers looked like it’d have really neat special effects. That was one of my favorite cartoons as a kid.
I still have all my original toys too. I was always an inquisitive type, so when I was a kid and got a new transformer, I liked to try to figure out how to transform it without looking at the instructions. I always thought they were cool because they were like two toys in one. Why have a Tonka truck, (although I had those too) when you could have a truck that turns into a robot?
It’s been many years, so I don’t remember what all ones I have, but I remember I have the Optimus Prime one, the boombox one with the cassette tapes, a space shuttle one, cars, etc.
And on a related robot note, I still have my Voltron toys too. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />
