The new generation of TF fans.

Haha, ice cream, kids are too cute with the things they say.

Don't write your daughter off yet, as a kid my favs were Disney princesses, my little pony, barbie and transformers and ninja turtles. Girls are lucky, we can play with girls and boys toys without it being weird, it's the best of both worlds.

My GIJOES used to love chillin' in my sisters Barbie spa.

Yeah, that is definitely a good story Klystron - TFs will be sticking around with that kid for quite some time to come, even if he forgets it his parents sure wont.

i got a son, turning 10 this year, and a daughter who has just turned 6.
Cylas started sneaking into my studio when he was close to age 2 and i'd find him studying some of my alternators (which were MISB at the time) and energon toys that were scattered about the place. skip to now - he has roughly 150 toys from armada, energon, cybertron, re-issues and micromaster repaints, titanium, universe, classics, generations and RTS, and a few random movie toys amongst the lot. He's also mad into starwars lego, bionicle and hero-factory.
Layla looks up to her brother (ofcourse) and wants to do everything he does. it bugs the sh-t out of him when he finds her in his room mucking about with his toys. last year she got her first transformer for her 5th birthday (hasbro re-issue Tracks) and she loved it. i think G1 toys are perfect for young kids because they're durable and far less complex than post machine wars lines of toys. this christmas she got the exclusive reissue Seacons gift set. her being such a girly girl, the colours of the toys jumped out at her and her face lit right up, she finally had a transformer that came in a big box like the ones her brother gets, and it's a gestalt!
i LOVE watching them play.
seeing her terrorize polly pockets and my little pony's with her seacons and making all the voices and sound effects takes me back to my childhood and the many apocalyptic events such as cyclonus and scourge performing routine raids on my sisters' she-ra cloud castle.

transforming robots are rad and the concept won't gro old anytime soon.

That's awesome Mindset; they sound very much like the sorts of things you'd want to catch on camera, be it either the motion or still variety.

When I was little my Lion Force Voltron was married to my friend's sister's Barbie and they shared Barbie's spa together. Nothing like a nice relaxing hot tub and back rub after a hard day of slaying Robeasts! I have a photo of my TF Prime Bulkhead being hugged by my daughter's favourite plush dog toy in Kyoto. I'll post that pic later.

Today we had lunch at a friend's house and there were three other kids there - two boys and the youngest was a girl. The two older boys played with their Thomas the Tank Engine and Friends train sets and later on their little baby sister got into the act too! Their mother told me that she looks up to her brothers and the middle brother is a mad Thomas fan so they often all play trains together! Later on the oldest boy went off for swimming practice and I showed the younger boy the Transformer on my shirt and reminded him that both Thomas and Transformers are manufactured by TakaraTOMY! (in Japan anyway, I know in Australia there's other companies that make Thomas toys, but in JP they're made by TOMY) The mother then told me that her oldest boy is a fan of Transformers. Dun dun DUN!!
