    I wonder if every gang activity involved a large super laser of some kind.

    It would be great if they did a "Where are they now?" episode on these guys. A bunch of fifty somehings who ran in a gang named after toy robots. I'm genuinely curious how they turned out. Imagine if your Grandpa was a Decepticon. :)

    If they went out to cause mayhem, you think they put purple griffins on their cars?

    Well I'm glad someone reposted, because I'd never heard of this.

    I have to wonder, if a gangmember got arrested, did he get hit up for copyright infringement too?

    Definitely confirmed. I've got a family member who is a judge and he remembers them back in the early 90s.

    Everytime they walked into another gangs turf, they introduced themselves and won the day... because their rivals died laughing.

    :D

    So do they have a subfaction of people always doing their thing together? Five members who were ex-military, five former stunt car drivers or six construction workers?

    Haha, that's awesome because that's the same high school that I attended (early-mid 90's), and I never heard about this gang until now!
