Wait, are you talking about Lead paint in Transformers toys? or what happened to other toys?

I don't think there's ever been a case of a Transformers toy actually having lead, misassembled sure, but not lead. Of course, I could be wrong, in which case I might have a deadly transformer in my room somewhere. :shock:

I always thought that the nature of concept and the fact that it is one of the strongest core brands for Hasbro/TakaraTomy prevented the toys from being made half assed.


Yea dude, back in the 80's the original TF toys had lead in them. If my memory serves me correctly, I believe Astrotrain was singled out for it the most.

What?! No way... now I'm kind of glad I missed all those originals. Did that carry on to the post season 3 toys? Cause that's like the bulk of my original G1 collection.

I now have visions of Tf's being cast out of sugar after the wrong materials were sent down the wrong coveyor belt.

I think I need another cup of coffee.

to much lead for humans but, not enough for robotic lifeforms! :twisted: here's the reverse. "Transformers candy has dangerous amounts of sugar" Sugar will cause your intakes to clog up.

sorry I couldn't help myself while I hope no one gets sick because of this I just found it funny a candy had to much lead. WHy does a candy have lead in it anyway is my question. Are they trying to market it to transformers? I did it again didn't I....Maybe it's because NESTS tore up Shanghai...
