but it's nostalgia for something completely hollow

Now, that's something I would like to see. The comics were some good shit. Great story lines...

Why is there a bashing on Transformers here?

Personally I think the turtles are a ridiculus idea. 4 turtles that mutate inot
6ft. walking talking fighting superheroes. I just think the idea is really stupied.

Transformers has some piece of reality in it, I mean that the idea is closure the realm of reality. Plus the idea is really cool giant robots that can change into vechiles and fight each other. Its simple and visually entertaining.

Lastly, Speilburg is producing the Transformers movie, so its not all Michael Bay.

my kid loves the turtles !

i think everyone is forgetting who these shows were meant for ..
(both transformers and turtles)

some kids like - and are fascinated by robots,
some kids like the absurdity of turtles who talk like surfer teens and fight like Shô Kosugi.

neither was a part of my upbringing .. but both shows had a lot of young fans.

Totally agree, I grew-up on both myself but as an adult I have knida lost my interest in the turtles but I still love the Transformers b/c I think I had more of an attachment to cars and robots. I know that carried over into my adult life b/c I'm a big car nut.

See? This is what I'm talking about. What's not to love?

go-bots were transformers' retarded knock-off cousin. instead of switching around a bunch of stuff to change from vehicle to robot, it only had like one moving part. if someone gave you a go bot at your birthday party it was reason to withhold treatbags.

So, do you guys still have toys hanging around?;)

I wish. Some of those are worth quite a bit now.

only about a million
