<< i don't get it, i have 2 optimus prime trailers and 1 optimus prime?! >>




wow, really? i always thought it was the other way around. everyone i knew had an optimus prime (usually with the head gone or something), but the trailer was lost instantly.

the japanese optimus prime is pretty awesome too . . . fire convoy, he was a fire truck! had a ladder to, if memory serves me correctly . . .

Man, I remember having hundreds of these things. Played and broke most of them and then they ended up in the gutter when we moved. I even had one of those 4 or 5 foot transformers that broke down to like a gazillion individual transformers.

If I only knew about ebay back then....

I remember as a kid taking Megatron--which looked and felt just like a real metal gun--in my carry-on bag on an airline flight. I can imagine the reaction of the security guards if some kid tried that today.

I think it was Cybertron. I use to have a lot of these toys, now I don't even know what happened to them.

ok ok since all of you like going down memory lane, here's a HOT link for revisiting all your cool cartoons as well as Transformers. this will jog your memory more when you see the list of Transformers episodes. and if you were like me with your eyes glued to the set, you'll remember Superfriends "wonder twin powers activate" (yeah right), old school Spiderman (the colors in the sky - damn i wasn't even on drugs), and for all those who don't remember Visionaries (same people who did TF and GI Joe , oh yeah they did GEM) i'm sure some of you were hard up for Gem when you were a little boy. Any ways have fun and enjoy.

kick butt cartoon list:D kick butt cartoon list pt2 with Transformers:D

don't forget M.A.S.K. Those were cool toys and a pretty good cartoon as well. :) (nothing along the lines of transformers and gijoe, however. ;))
