Doin' some computing, 1980's style !

Transformer Computerbot, MC Toy, Macau, 1980's

...modernism seems so old today !

I'm seeing bubbles...

Robots (bubble containers), View Master, Hong Kong, 1985

I think every company wanted to jump on the Transformer craze of the 1980ies - even View Master (yes, the same View Master as in "stereoscope" viewers and reels). The colours are there... the general idea is there... Optimus Prime and Co. ? Not really...

Bad robot !

Megatron, Hasbro, China, 2009

Optimus Prime

Optimus Prime, ?, China, 2010's

The crazyness of the Shogun Warriors made way to a whole new bunch of super robots in the 1980's. And the Transformer's line were certainly some of them. Here their leader, mighty Optimus Prime.

You remember the 'toon ?
