So, with the film is set in the 80’s, conditions are perfect for a trip on the nostalgia train. The new Bumblebee movie is being released next month on December 8th, and the accompanying toy line is already on the market. Of course, what’s a cartoon without toys, right?

That’s right kids, there was no Netflix or Hulu or Crunchyroll in my day, we had to work for that shit!Įventually, he filled two 8-hour VHS cassettes with Transformers episodes, and I watched them repeatedly, reveling in the clashes between the Autobots and the Decepticons. I’ve mentioned in past writings being raised by my grandparents, and when I was in either the first or second grade, my grandfather would record episodes of Transformers for me onto blank VHS cassettes while I was at school. I had stacks of the Transformers comic books, I watched Transformers: The Movie more times than was probably considered healthy, and I was all about the TV show, which was not lost on my grandfather. I was obsessed with these “robots in disguise”. As for cartoons and toys of the 80’s though, Transformers was always my number one jam. Then, I would learn as much about it as I could. Whether it was horror films and fantasy novels, Calvin and Hobbes, or the various cartoons of the day, if it was something I could watch or read or experience, I would latch on to it.
