Transformers came in the form of die-cast toys, comic books and an after-school cartoon series

dude, i must have been buying the cheap transformers, 'cause mine were all made of plastic. i feel like redneck trash now.

also, imagine the cartoon trying today to get away with Megatron being a handgun. all kinds of advocacy groups would be (heh) up in arms about it.

i only link to the article to remind folks that the Transformers DVD was released last week.
