I can't wait for the one with the Turtles, but god damn were the 80's full of dreadful mistakes, eg. leg warmers:eek:

Transformers was on it tonight.
Made my Christmas seeing them on television again.*

*Well not really.

Really enjoyed 1981 hosted by an almost unrecognisable Adam Ant. Magnum PI, New Romantics, Curly Wurly bars, scented stickers etc. Makes me feel a bit old though

My girlfriend got me a Toy Optimus Prime for Christmas!

He was the one that turned into the red juggernaut wasn't he? What was the leader of the Decepticons called? And what were the 'good guy transformers' lead by Optimus Prime called? I'm horrified that I have such a patchy memory of The Transformers........:(

Ah the Hitman and Her.
The soundtrack of my first clubbing Daze

It was a brilliant time to be clubbing
With HM&H as the benchmark for clubbing
it sure wasnt hard to be cool
and even easier to pull

Then the uber elitist clubs came along and suddenly people were being turned away for wearing the wrong type of socks.
Suddenly cool wasnt enough,
suddenly entrance to a club cost more than half a weeks wages.
Damn you ministry and cream
Damn you to hell.

I'm officially 'back up to speed' on The Transformers!

Over Chrimbo, my brother and I were rooting through a load of old toys at my Mums gaff (a select few that weren't binned) and came across a Transformer. It belonged to my bro', which means it was most likely a gift circa 1986. It's all plastic (unlike the originals like Prime et al). It converts into some sort of spaceship/jet fighter and has a detachable head which becomes a pilot for said vessel when 'transformed'. When the head is attached to the transformer, some little gauges on the chest-plate become active. The colour is green/grey/purple. Does anybody have any idea what it is?

I think I had that toy.
It was defo a Decepticon and I think it came from season 3, I'm not sure though. It's not an original Transformer.

I still have a toy that is Optimus Prime, but he has a car carrying trailer attatched and you combine the two and stick a new head on Optimus and it becomes Ultra Magnus. Which is cool, but some of the rockets are missing.
