Today my 4-year-old boy was surprised with a Transformers-themed birthday party. My wife did a pretty good job doing all of the party planning: She ordered Transformers balloons, streamers, party hats, gift bags, an Optimus Prime pinata, as well as a cake.

And I treated all his slightly older cousins to their first screening of the 1985 Transformers animated movie, where I proudly watched my son educate them on ALL the characters' names.

The cake turned out to be pretty lame, so we did a little un-laming of our own:



And yes, he got Transformers toys as gifts (which his dad was happiest about).

And his birthday is actually tomorrow (God bless my wife for waiting until after Valentine's day to give birth to him).

 

Wow, your son's one lucky kiddo! Not everyday you get to celebrate your birthday, TF style.

 

seems great wish i had that when i was lil  

 

I worry about the nutritional value of plastic  

 

As long as there's no lead paint, he should be fine.

 

my mom put robot heroes on my birthday cake last year.

happy birthday to your son.

 

Admit it, you wish you had it now

 

Cool cake!

 

I thought you'd say something about the Legends BBB there!

 

So...uhm...how you gonna clean them tfs off frosting?

 

Nice cake. So which TF's did he get?

 

TF Birthdays are the best birthdays!

 

hope he enjoyed himself

 

Best Birthday cake EVER.  

 

Cooooool.

I never had a real TF Cake before. hmmm maybe this year.  

 

Now what they need is a transforming cake. Anyone ever see that show on the Food Network where they make the crazy cakes and pastries? I wonder if they could make one. That would be awesome.
