Did you know that he's a firetruck now? And there is another bot called Ultra Magnas that can combine with him. Cool stuff. Not as cool as the original, but still cool.

I saw an article on CNN or somewhere about Transformers. Comebacks from the 80's rule.

Oh... these are based off of a new Transformers cartoon on Fox Kids. Its more kiddie based than the old Transformers I think... its been a while since I saw the eighties one....







Anyway...



The toys are still plastic like the Beast Wars one correct? I wish they'd go back to metal....

My mate (age 22) is collecting Transformers figures.

Couldn't believe when he told me, but if he likes them, then why not
