Hey everyone...being a child of the early 80's I enjoyed

I prefered the Autobots coz the Decepticons lacked decent
characters.

Ratchet and Prowl were my favs...
Shockwave was my favourite Decepticon tho.
I never played GI Joe.

before school every morning.

I liked the ones where there were five little robots who
could transform into one big robot. Metroplex and Triptacon
were also my favourites but they were too expensive for me.
I was dreaming about them all the time. I had more Autobots
than Decepticons so I probably prefered Autobots. Great
stuff

The 5 lions that made one big robot?

Excellent one.....

Weren't the autobots a completely different thing to
transformers/decepticons?

I had Astrotrain and Stinger, the triplechangers. I also had
the box set of 5 Autobot Airplanes that formed a giant
Robot.

I also hd the Autobot base that was in the movie. What was
that called? I cant remember... :(

The Autobots/ Decepticons were the Transformers.

I think he was thinking of Voltron...
5 Lion robots that formed the limbs of a HUGE robot.....
Maybe I am wrong.

What about the small little

-"knowing is half the battle"- skits at the end of the GIJoe
episodes....
I personally like the one where Bazooka finds two youngs
kids playing with a live downed power line....and scolds
them on the dangers

I mean cmon, It was classic television

Ever see the Transformers movie?

I used to cry when Megatron killed Optimus...

And also when the Decepticons take over the Autobot ship and
kill everybody, and there's smoke coming out of their mouths
and eyes

And it's gross when Serpentor stabs Duke with his staff in
the GI Joe movie.

Powermaster Optimus Prime was my hero! (I had a toy of it)
Yeah, Mask is also very cool;
I had about 3 tons of Mask and Transformer stuff.
I almost forgot the GI-Joe stuff...

BTW my first reaction on V5:
I must say I really like to see pics of everyone. Maybe,
some day, I will send a pic....(not possible right now)
Some hours ago I wasn't registered yet so I was one of those
mysterious guests...man I felt like a ghost.

I had this great Dome-shaped Cobra airbase, and a
peach-colored transforming GI Joe base. My mom threw them
away and I wouldn't talk to her for weeks.

My mother also was the culprit in throwing away what would
have been my "small fortune" in Gi Joes....

Errrrrgh

someone mentioned a red lamb. car which is Sideswipe(one of
my favorites). I just recently won an auction on ebay where
I got all 98 episodes of the transformers on video tape(my
girlfriend wasn't happy). my favorites were soundwave,
prowl, bluestreak, perceptor, skywarp...to many others to
list. someone earlier mentioned the scene in the movie
which megatron and his pals take out four of the autobots
for good. did anyone else think it was pretty bogus that
one of the constructicions with his weak ass gun took out
prowl with one shot. and GI Joe I've still got all my
figures. snake-eyes fans remember all the different
versions of him. storm shadow, firefly, stalker. always
hated he-man though.
