The show never worked for me, I don’t care about these characters, and the movies are terrible. Transformers as a franchise is something I have basically zero interest in. I will never get used to Optimus Prime as this style of truck.Įven though Transformers has never really been my thing, I’ve still ended up with some toys here and there including the Masterpiece Prime and more recently the Super7 offering. Despite my enjoyment of that Prime though, I let my sister sell it in a yard sale many years later. Transformers was just filling a short gap for me between my obsession with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and my blossoming love of X-Men.
I wasn’t that taken with that toy though as he was way bigger than Prime, had that camo deco that wasn’t show accurate, and just wasn’t a ton of fun to play with. The sound effects were neat, and once I had that Prime I basically had to get Megatron which I would for Christmas that year.

I was pretty blown away by the diecast parts and the rubber tires on him and I quickly learned how to convert the figure with ease from robot to truck mode. I had to save up a lot of money to get it, 30 bucks in 1992 money, and I remember getting it on Halloween. Even though I wasn’t that into Transformers, that Optimus was a favorite toy of mine for at least a little while. I think I ended up with a mere four figures: Grimlock, Megatron, a fire truck, and Optimus Prime. When Generation 2 launched in the early 90s, I took a passing interest. I had one or two figures in the 80s and I couldn’t even tell you what their names were and I’m not even sure I could pick any of them out of a lineup of Generation 1 toys. Like Star Wars, I don’t have a strong history with Transformers toys from my youth. We already looked at a Star Wars toy at the end of November, and now we’re turning to what I suppose is Hasbro’s flagship franchise: Transformers. We interrupt our regularly scheduled holiday posts with something very familiar to this blog: a toy review! Yes, we have ourselves another Christmas toy to talk about and it too comes from Hasbro.
