Cross country skiing is great if you live in a small country.

I don't recall Universal Studios doing the Transformers promotion but would have loved that as a kid! Too bad too because I grew in SoCal.

Thanks for the compliment!
Also Jealous....I love SoCal. It was 1985 and awesome! There was a line up to see them. Starscream and Jazz were the options. Jazz left as I got to the stage. Starscream was brutally rude in order to stay in character. He kept calling me human and asked me to stop wasting his time! Loved it!
The Megatron was basically a metal painted statue you could climb on. They also previewed the season 2 episodes on screens while you waited. Got to watch the Immobilizer for the first time while we waited!

Agreed. They would have made great full size statues!

Now I'm mad at my parents for not taking me! I would have been 8 at the time and would have loved it. That's just about the time I got my first Transformer, Huffer! I still remember it to this day!
Lol.

First was Devastator in 85, then Shockwave, Soundwave.
Stuncons, but didn't get Motormaster. To me was like great surf was so hyped. Then 87 show was canceled and moved on. Didn't have a show that I loved like that again where I bought toys, and moved on to spend my money on surfing and snowboarding. Not until 2005 did I think about getting toys or in this case statues. s
How did I not mention Astrotrain and Blitzwing

I'm in the same boat. However it may be a bit different in Australia with them continuing to syndicate the TF cartoons in prime slots for a few years after the show ended.
Never understood why the cancelled the show. In my mind the brand was still strong and kids were still lapping it up at that stage.
