    They're ribbing ya, it's Voltron. (Which, incidentally, fellow oldsters, exists in animation again now, and is pretty good!)

    Indeed. So what is the name? Captain Planet? Something else? Don’t really get it. Also in France, we didn’t get many things you had the luck to get. Transformers wasn’t even really well broadcasted.

    You just described the exact reason for me. Same age same reason. That nostalgia button sure does illicit an enjoyable feeling.

    @OptimusTimelord, your latest gif is absolutely terrific! Love it!

    Do you have any close up pics of the windshield wipers and bars that you painted up? I read you used asilver sharpie to color them. Did you use any masking tape? The paint apps look really good and I'm very tempted to give it a try myself too.

    4o-something here. I was most def around during those days. simpler times. fun to be a child back then. Much less bullying too. imagination, creativity and a sense of wonderment. The world just felt happier to me despite things adults were dealing with.

    I def want to go back to those days I admit.

    The days before man depended so heavily on computers and the internet. and people weren't so offended all the time about everything.

    I mean it mattered to me at the time :lol 

    I was a 6 year old when Transformers Toys first came out. I got to play with them when I was in the mental ward. (long story) Needless to say the toys and cartoon helped me through a lot of troubling times.

    I meant that age is just a number. But Id do totally agree on childhood nostalgia.
    I always remembered walking into a toy shop in the early 90's when I was about 6 and just oogling at rows upon rows of Transformers toys on the shelves.

    Hey guys. Just tried the voice box for the first time and unfortunately there's no sound whatsoever. I am confused because I heard at worst there are a few muffled sounds? But I hear absolutely nothing. Anyone have a fix? :) 

    edit:
    Oh I had to turn it on by flicking a switch! Had no idea. Silly me.

    Not me. If you go back a few pages you'll find the original post using MP44 and then MP10. Then somebody posted the cartoon gif too...

    Edit: had time to double check...Credit is due to @OptimusTimelord
