I had a fair few of these when I was a kid, but I never really watched or cared much for Transformers — the 1980s cartoon, or the movies. The movies are just bad, the show was tolerable but I wouldn't choose to watch it. IIRC I even watched GoBots more, and that was like the K-Mart Transformers.
Either way, the toys were cool as hell because they could transform. None of them could stand up very well without some assistance, so I mostly left Bumblebee, for example, as a car. I never had Optimus Prime (I think my brother did?) or Megatron. I did have the dinosaurs — there were like five of them that transformed into robotic dinosaurs, and could link together like Voltron. And it was a giant pain in the arse to get them to link together properly. And then, good luck getting it to stand without falling on its face or back.
