It broke my heart when I read much later in life that even the super awesome movie involving Unicron and the series are all just part of an attempt to sell their toys. You see, I never had a transformer toy in my life. ALL the transformers I have, I BUILT IT WITH MY BARE LEGOS and yes it &#8220;transforms&#8221;.
