Transformers...

Just so you don't get all confused when you go to see the film... I'll let you into a little secret...

Transformers are robots... but get this ... they are in disguise...

There - you will be fine now...

Great special effects, stupid kiddie bits in there though that spoil parts of it - the small silver scout robot in particular...

I was given a transformer at work - Robot - Jeep and back again - cannot get it into fill Jeep mode though... tricky...

This pic is of the box and it has some classic Japanese marketing statements on it I need to share...



FRONT:
Traditional round headlight of Jeep gives a friendly impression


HEAD:
A robot head that looks more capable and vigorous and can move smoothly with the help of a globe joint

ENGINE:
Bonnet is openable. An exquisitely carved engine installed is inside

HANDS:
A portable hand that can not only hold weapon, but also show various expressions
(this is a lie - it is impossible to separate the fingers into either a 1 or 2 fingered salute!)

Well... that capable and vigorous looking head coupled with those 'expressionable' really make this thing fly off the shelves!!!
