I love this Advert, it’s exactly as I imagined transformers to look like if they were real
(not that I’m saying they aren’t real)

If I buy one and it doesn't turn into a robot on demand, do I get a refund?

Why do people think he is breakdancing though? Because he is listening to 'funky' break style music?

I'll never know if damo was mad at the fact it was described as breakin' or that I didn't know who it was.

Because that's what he told everyone. We told him it wasn't, but he wouldn't have it. Now he's made a right twat of himself.

i'm not mad at you nwod.
i'm mad at the advert and people thinking its gr9.
that and citroen was spelt rong.

Did any of the transformers turn into a Citroen?
It probably would have been one of those crap £1.99 ones that poor kids had and which we about 80 times smaller than the rest of the toys, and called something like Juice Breaker or something.
I always preferred those little animals in armour that were either wood, fire, rock or water or something.

Rock lords or something weren't they?
I don't think there was ever a Citroen transformer. If there was, he'd almost certainly have been mates with Nissan Sunnytron

Nah, they were the robot things that transformed into rocks (Christ, why did that seem okay when I was a kid?). I think Benny's talking about the things that had little patches on their chest that you rubbed and either a fire, water or wood symbol appeared, you were supposed to basically play "Paper, Scissors, Stone" with them. They might have been called Elementals or some shit but Googling that's getting me nowhere.

You fucking rets, they were 'Battle Beasts' (battle beasts, they battled for-fun)
Mind you battlin' for fun has been a TMO attribute for some time so why you guys don't know astounds. Posted by Benny the Ball (Member # 694) on :
Ah yes, Battle Beasts. Funnily enough I mentioned this to someone else, and they instantly said 'Elemantals'.
Just looked at a site for them, they look shit.

Lol. I had one of those. The design of the robot was actually pretty good, but when it was 'transformed', it was - you know - just a rock.

If he's a robot that transforms into a rock, then what does he do with his "Power Sword"? I mean it would be a bit suspicious to see a pile of rubble with numerous discarded weapons strewn alongside.
Is Jumble Sale Season 2004 over? Posted by Thorn Davis (Member # 65) on :
This is the one I had. It looks a lot lamer than I remember it, though. It's quite clear now why I chose not to pursue this avenue of merchandise, and now I don't feel so bad about my mum giving all this shit to Barnardos.

These are quite excellent! I had a Transformer (I think it transformed into a triceratops) but now I feel I missed out. Then again, they turn into rocks. What the hell's that about? Is it a defence mechanism? Can they communicate as rocks or only as robots? How do they know to change back? I think I may be reading too much into this.

Do you think he's a "genital giant"?

That'll be Slag then. Christ, I knew that without even having to Google it. For shame.
Posted by philomel (Member # 586) on :
I just discovered that, through the power of google. I am now mildly disillusioned.
Looked good, though!
Posted by Benny the Ball (Member # 694) on :
In later episodes Grimlock changed his name to Chav and he and Slag set up home together, siring twelve rat-bots that stole for them inbetween the gyro arriving on a thursday.
