The Energon Pub

The current situation of the pandemic ended up making me forget a primordial date: in the first half of May 1985, the Transformers toy was launched in Brazil by Estrela, the milestone of the beginning of the entire trajectory of those who lived at the time.

Before the comic, before the cartoon ; at that time it was just a new toy concept, but it would be striking for an entire generation!

That year I received as a gift an orange "Robocar Pickup" (Minicar Gears) and a silver "Volks" (Minicar Bumblebee), without any background I created stories of the imagination, only to discover the following year that they already belonged to a universe of adventures.

Transfans from my Brazil, let's celebrate!
