Remember when you were a kid and you loved your Transformers like thery were your children? Do you still remember how to transform those toys from yester year? No? Well, worry not! A friend of mine just passed me a link with just about every instruction scan on how to do the transformations. It's just fun looking through all of them and remebering what ones you had. My claim to fame was that I had all the constructacons and could make Devistator. I actually still have him and all the tiny little guns for the individual robots. Ahhh the memories...

On a side topic, what other toys did people grow up with? I had a healthy dose of Battle Beasts, He-Man, Lego (space theme), Constructs, and StarCom.

Went on a Lego (space theme) jag while I was living in England. This was around 1980, back when you actually had to build everything out of smaller pieces -- as opposed to just about everything Lego's released since, with all those big, fancy, ready-out-of-the-box, no-assembly/imagination-required pieces/chunks/parts.

My all-time fave childhood toyline, however, was Micronauts.

You guys want transformers, check these out.

Yeah, baby, yeah. Transformers have come a long way.

I was a big TF fan as a kid. I also liked He-Man and the GI Joe vehicles were always fun to build and play with.

A few years ago I got back into TFs. And TFs are only getting more and more popular and just plain better. Its a real renaisance in TFs.

And in case you missed it, Dreamworks is going to be making a TF movie for 2006. With Spielberg as executive producer. This movie is gonna rock so much. I bet it will make some new box office records.

It was all about Battle Beasts. "Capture them all!"

Hey,

Remember these ? I had a Robotech robolink, and wanted to keep it until my mom just donated it without even asking!!!!

Rock Lords were cool, and I think Go Bots had their version of a 5 - in one robot too.

I was really into Transformers, Masters of the Universe, Battlebeast, M.A.S.K., and all other sorts of toys. Probably my favorites though were my Voltron toys.

Good legos. In the good old days you had to actually constuct things from small parts rather than a few large prefabricated chunks.

Is that just a rumor? No offense but if Spielburg is producing it it will probably suck. Spielberg used to be good yes, but all his recent work mostly sucks because he has too much power over the film making process, among other reasons.
