Not to downplay this, but when Transformers first came out, I feel like seeing a Transformers cereal in the grocery aisle would have been one of the greatest moments in my then-short life.

For some reason, seeing this just doesn't hit the same.

Would still try it, though.

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!

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 flipping the texture files for some reason, but it still gives a good idea of what the finished product would have looked like.

Did someone say Transformers cereal?

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.)

Hard to say for certain. GI Joe did get a cereal, and it was... not great.


As I recall they were like plain Kix, but less airy and somehow more bland.
