On The Blog: Transformation Tuesday at The Marconi Transformers Tuesday at The Marconi is different than #TransformationTuesday at The Marconi ….
Transformers | Robots In Disguise was produced by an American and Japanese toy company, Hasbro and Takara Tomy in the early 1980s. What started as a toy-line graduated to a television series and then to a box office smash in 2007. When you think about it, the franchise created millions of car lovers whether it was intentional or not. By adding a face, distinct personalities and a fight between good or evil, viewers cheer for their favorite character/Auto[mobile]bot. [In my best Optimus Prime voice] Autobots, roll out! s7kijt  

1. Bumbleebee – 1977 Chevrolet Camaro Z28 & 2009/14 Camaro

“I can’t save them all. I learned that truism a long time ago, on countless battlefields. But still, no matter how many I help …  a hundred, a thousand … it’s the one that I fail that haunts me!”
