i saw a huge Transformers COMMERCIAL several times last month. It was fantastic! Big explosions, hard-hitting action, you name it. Not much of a plot, but GREAT graphics! The kid in the commercial said "Awesome!"

It lasted for TWO and a HALF HOURS!

Directed by Michael Bay.

Each action figures sold separately. Batteries not included.

In other words, the movie toys didn't exactly need a commercial on tv. The Theatrical and TV Movie Trailers were enough to sell the product.

I have seen next to no TF toy commercials. Saw more TF toy commercial as a kid anyway. Warms the cockels of my heart to remember.

That's funny, I see a good amount of commercials for the action figures and those transforming gun things. It probably has to do with what channel you watch. There's a lot of Nickelodeon and Cartoon Network in my house.

most times I saw the toy commercials was on Nickelodeon I saw it during Spongebob of all times, and the Adult Swim Block would sneak one in from time to time but generally was on earlier primetime on cartoon network. You really didn't miss much.
