TRANSFORMERS: Growing up with Transformers in the 80's
Growing up with the Transformers series as it was getting started was an unreal experience! I am fortunate to say I was there to see the story unfold from the beginning. There was no internet spoiling everything for us ahead of time. You found out about the toyline from either the TV commercials, cartoons/comics, toy catalogs, or simple word-of-mouth. For me I still remember reading a G.I. Joe comic and at the end it had a little blurb with some silhouetted robots that just said "the Transformers are coming!" I had no idea of what that was. Soon the cartoons hit and you could only see them on the Bozo Show in like 5 minute increments. All the boys in my school are talking about it! So here I am, watching Bozo again, just to catch a tiny piece of Transformers. It was onward and upward from there... So back to my original statement - growing up with the Transformers was a unique experience!...
