Chris reviews The Transformers: The Movie
Way back in 2006, I wrote a GINORMOUS article reviewing The Transformers: The Movie and the twentieth anniversary DVDs thereof. Mind you, this article was preceded by two lead-in articles, and followed by a slew of additional information the other Sci-Fi Guys and myself posted in the comments. This is it… all of it, anachronisms intact where appropriate. Plus a bunch of new material regarding what’s happened with this movie over the last twenty years.

Coming to us from 1978 (by way of 1984) all the way from Japan (by way of Taiwan), it’s Daitarn 3, the giant robot with the most ludicrous backstory on Earth (by way of Mars). But Daitarn doesn’t need to make sense. It just needs to have accessories I can steal for my Transformers. Come on in and check it out!

The Zoids toy line has a complex and confusing history that I, quite frankly, do not understand and am not particularly interested in. I am interested, however, in Zoids Blox & Z-Builders, two Zoids sublines that are heavily reported to be 5mm compatible. Let’s put ’em to the test!

In 2011 and 2013, Hasbro released versions of the classic G.I. Joe Skystriker fighter jet with Transformers inspired colors and decals. But Transformers fans had been converting the Skystriker into Decepticon jets for years. Click the pic to check ’em out!

The 5mm Post is all about my quest to find accessories compatible with my Transformers. A lot of toys have been purported to be compatible over the years, but for this article I had to reach back to the halcyon days of 1994, to a line of toys I was completely unaware of at the time. I’m talking about Playmates’ bizarre attempt to take a bite out of the Power Rangers market share, Superhuman Samurai Syber-Squad!

You ever get something so much better than you expected that you are legitimately astonished? The 40th anniversary of the Transformers franchise was always going to be well celebrated, but never in my wildest imagination would I have thought that what appears to be yet another re-release of the classic 1984 Optimus Prime would be so impressive. I assure you this thing makes good on the promise of being more than meets the eye. Click the pic and check it out!
