Robots in Disguise!
So the powers that be have decreed that a live-action "Transformers" movie should be made.
Reasons why this should be awesome:
Spielberg is executive producer.
Michael Bay is director.
This commercial rocks.
Quote from Spiels on the subject:
"We're now starting our first but certainly not our last Transformers movie that I hope will be an enduring franchise and we're going to be making many, many more Transformers movies in the future. But we're going to make the best one first because we want the best one to inspire everybody to not only play with these toys but to want to know about the further adventures of all of these characters, both human and machine alike. So I'm just really privileged that I get to be part of this."
I wasn't even a huge fan of the cartoon as a kid (I only watched "Beast Wars"), but I'm psyched about the potential of crazy huge killer robots transforming into planes, trains, and automobiles, fighting each other, and destroying major cities in the process.
And oh yeah, I'm sure there's some great heartfelt story revolving around the human children that get caught up between all the destruction. Or something.

PS: I suddenly had a flashback to a Transformers toy I had as a kid. It was a robot that turned into a Pterodactyl, and anyone who knows me knows that I was in love with dinosaurs as a kid. I still am. That was one of my favorite toys back then. Man. I wonder what ever happened to it...

The dinosaur Transformer is most likely in one of those boxes in one of your storage locations...not many toys ever escaped you.

No, I think that toy disappeared in one of your many unannounced Toy Clearing Days in which you went through our Toy Box and gave many of our friends to Goodwill.
I say that because I don't remember seeing that particular toy in the past 8 years.
Siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiigh.

Epic battles indeed. My friend and I once waged a three hour war between two teams, each with an assortment of GI JOE, He-Man, Transformers, Thundercats and Silverhawks. Castle Greyskull and Snake Mountain were our respective bases of operations, and pool balls were at one point put into use as ballistics. I recall the battle ending with an 8-ball sized hole right through the plastic shell of Snake Mountain. (Sniff) We lost a lot of good men that day.
Oh snap! You're back? Are the heavens falling, have the oceans turned to deserts? Amazing!
I too participated in such epic battles of death in destruction with my brother, though our armies were soldiered with Ninja Turtles, Ghostbusters, Marvel comics characters, and He-Men (we weren't into GI-Joe). And since we couldn't afford Castle Greyskull or Snake Mountain, or even the TMNT Technodrome, our bases of operation were old Fisher-Price parking decks and main street buildings.
But they worked well, bc that meant we had civillian casualties caught in the turmoil.
hi chris...i want all of you to know that jacob has two, no three Extra Large storage tubs full of transformers. i recntly cleaned his closet and saved every one. i organized them in terms of size. the older ones (>5 yrs.old) are huge and kind of simple and stiff in the joints...they don't have alot of depth or flexability. then the newer (>3-4 yrs.old) large and medium size ones which get really really unbelievably high tech. they are freakin crazy! then the smaller size, which consist mainly of car, tractor, plane types that transform into only you peeps know what. then the 4th container, which i didn't mention because the container is shoe box size. the transfomers are so small that only little children with big imaginations can manipulate them in seconds into a whole new being. so, any desperate, transformer freaks in desperate need of manipulating them are welcome to borrow them for a sort of transformer party. just be sure to bring jake and rhett along to help you old folks figure them out.
i'm loving and missing you, aunt lindaboo
Did the dinosaur Transformer show up at Aunt Lindaboos? Lizbeth
