You keep putting these topics in the wrong place. This one should be in the normal General Discussion. =/

I also remember MASK. It was one of my favourite shows. Sadly I can't remember much besides the little robot that belonged to the boy.

Oh my it certainly has been a while. I think I'll look it up, along with Galaxy Rangers and Starcom.

I'm not sure I ever saw the cartoon, but I had a lot of the toys and a few story-books.

Now all I have is Thunderhawk (can't change to jet mode), Firecracker, Gator, and the pink dragster.

Ironically, didn't get Switchblade until a year ago when I found it at a flea market. Didn't have the Helicoptor rotors anymore, but it was the principle of the thing.

It was so much fun to transform those vehicles. Favorite was Venessa (this Trans Am looking thing) and the head bad guy who had this oil tanker truck thing.

The cartoons were great, but none could beat the movie, with its tremendous wealth of hideously bad accents! :))

Loved the toys to bits; I've still got quite a few in the basement, including the likes of Rhino, Goliath and Outlaw... B-)

I am a big fan of the toys! A little suprised that Hasbro hasn't releases some type of re-make.

Absolutely love it. Venom and Rhino were personal favs when I was a kid. Boulder Hill rocked too.

VorTech was close enough you could mix the toys in without them looking out of place - though they used generic trucks and cars instead of identifiable models.

There was also some sort less-cool toy released by a model company (Revell maybe?) that had interchangeable parts. I had a Yellow Lamborghini with parts to make it a jet or a surveillance vehicle. Lost mega points for the transformation requiring external add-ons (like G1 gestalts), but gained a few back for the fact that you could mix and match parts among the different models. Also, they were surprisingly durable.

I remember the show, liked it but never had any of the toys.
I haven't seen any eps. since it originally aired. I shudder to think about how bad the writing/voices/animation probably was, so I have no plans to rewatch them. I wish I had done the same with Voltron, G1 Transformers cartoon, Thundercats and He-Man.

I loved watching the shows then trying to keep my toys together afterwards. Seems I always ended up breaking them mid-transformation. lol.
