I'd buy them

like they do EVERY war. Don't even get me started on marine biologists...

It's quite good. I like your interpretation of her face (the actual toy head is a bit....odd looking.)

It's the Cybertronian equivalent

That would bring together a lot of things that I loved in the 80's.

Years ago I printed that one off on some card stock and made a Fort Max scaled version of the cereal box (scaled so that the box was similar in size to TR Fort Max that a normal cereal box would be to a human, NOT scaled for a robot the size of a small city. Just to be clear.)

Since I'm currently on my work computer with Solidworks running, I made a quick box shape and mapped the images to the surface, as well as creating the "Robot Mode" of the box. The pictures of the robot mode are just screenshots instead of real renders because the rendering software kept...

Oh man, that would have been a great deep, DEEP cut! Transform from the unused cereal box into the original "robot mode?" Would have been amazing.

Found the full line of World Invading Insects at an estate sale yesterday! Pics and write-up over in the appropriate forum, but I had to sneak in one with the Mantis:

Love it! Very nice drawing, love the blast effects on the laser legs. I also love that you got the axe in there. I wish these had still had their weapons, but that would have been asking a lot. I had considered some alternate spellings as well, either Cyphon (robot-ish) or Psiphon/Psyphon (I...

As foretold in prophecy! Part II: Fighting Insects Mantis This one is my favorite of the Fighting Insects for sure, maybe of the whole batch. Love the arm articulation of the Mantis mode, and robot mode has shoulder pivots as well as some "in and out" due to the transformation. Nice and...

Fighting Insects Mantis This one is my favorite of the Fighting Insects for sure, maybe of the whole batch. Love the arm articulation of the Mantis mode, and robot mode has shoulder pivots as well as some "in and out" due to the transformation. Nice and stable in both modes, all around...

Don't worry! 20 years from now they'll redo these designs in the main line like they're doing now for the Rescue Bots. Just have to be patient.

Yesterday was my wife's birthday, so I took the day off work. We started out the day running over to an estate sale that we had both been interesting in. The owners of the house had clearly raised children in the 80's as there were quite a few old toys around. Managed to find these: That's...

I try to stay humble, but it's hard! :LOL:

Dammit! We WERE robbed! Being a frequent listener of the Purple Stuff Podcast (not sure if anyone else here is familiar with it, but they have done several shows on old cereals), I immediately pictured Ralston as the company that would have made it. The "turn the box into a robot" bit is amazing.

Yeah, it's kind of shocking that there was never a G1 Transformers (or Gobots) cereal back in the 80's. EVERYTHING got a breakfast cereal, and transforming robots were red hot back then!

Ha! Working on it. There's more pics to put in and I have a lot of text to write. Was too busy to finish it yesterday but wanted to start getting it into a post to copy/paste over.

Huh! for a bit over a dollar, it may be worth picking up as an oddity
