    I never thought my daughter would be into it. She has always been more into Pokemon, toy animals and MLP. I figured she'd get them, play with them for a bit and they'd sit in the bottom of her toybox until she eventually decided she wanted rid of them like the Monster High dolls she simply had to have. Nope! She's got a bigger collection then me. She played with them for a long time and still enjoys searching for them at the store. Though not much has grabbed her attention lately. She's all keen to get her grubby paws on Desperado bot though.

    I thought I read before that Tom Hanks was a fan. Come to think of it, he did have Transformers in his place in Big.

    I find my nieces tend to be more interested in the female characters. They all know Windblade and Arcee but watching Cyberverse Season 3 a few weeks ago, my 8 year old niece quite liked Chromia.

    She also wanted to know more about Elita One after we watched the Siege Trailer and I told her she was Optimus Prime's girlfriend.

    Herself and her 5 year old brother do enjoy gathering the various Titanmasters and feeding them all to Trypticon.

    She also calls Titans Return Soundwave her baby.

    I've considered picking up two Fortnite figures. One really reminds me of Skullgrin and would probably look good with the Gi Joe Bludgeon figure.

    Another one has a helmet that reminds me of a Prime Vehicon and could work as it's Pretender shell or holo avatar.

    Didn’t Guillermo del Toro go to Botcon once? I wouldn’t have guessed him to be a fan.

    Maybe not so much a surprise but it was cool to learn Lindsay Ellis is actually a TF fan.

    When I worked at Putnam Investments in Andover Ma around 2012/2013 there was a red sedan with a large autobot symbol on the hood, eventually I discovered it belonged to a rather attractive, blonde, millennial woman I think she was a programmer.

    Robin Williams was huge on collecting Japanese robots when he was still alive, I bet that collection included transformers as well
