I bought my son [this](http://www.toysrus.co.uk/Toys-R-Us/Toys/Action-Figures-and-Playsets/Transformers-Animated-Deluxe-Twin-Pack(0020271)) yesterday. I loved transformers when I was a kid, and can even remember when they first came out. My first one was mirage I think or maybe it was sideswipe… Can’t be too sure… I can still remember the excitement of opening one of the blister packs of smaller ones, and even the absolute bliss of opening one of the bigger boxed toys too… mmmm. I can smell the paint… But… The new animated ones are absolutely hideous… I’ve never been so dissapointed with a toy. I say this because the thing actually fell apart in the box when I was carrying it home… I took it out of the box, to try and fix it and realised that it wouldn’t even push back together for me, an adult, never mind a 3-4 year old child, who (assuming no czech lager is involved) is generally more destructive than I am. For shame Hasbro, for tainting the Transformers centre of my brain… :2c:
