Wow wow wow! See what I found from del.icio.us!!! Does this history of Transformers evoke your dreams in childhood?
Even today I can still sing along with the theme song "transformer, more than meets the eye..." Almost every child back then could sing the song and was fascinated with the endless episodes about conspiracies. Decepticons always planed to destroy some important power plants or public facilities and autobots could always stop them. Megatron's epilogue "I will be back" were repeated from time to time.
What impressed me most is the death of Optimus Prime. I could still recall the moment the light in the giant's eyes faded then disappered. The death broke my dream that heroes will never die. Now I know that's one of Hasbro's marketing strategies to promote the new transformer toys. However, back to 15 years ago, it stood for the collaspe of some ideas.
Freedom is the right of all sentient beings.



I got my first "made in Japan" transformer at 8 years old, I guess. My dad bought it for me in Japan. We, actually is he, spent a whole night to assemble all parts together. That's a totally DIY product. Cool.
Happy Moon Festival! Did you eat mooncakes? I have some on my blog
