The new generation of TF fans.

[MindsetOverhaul]

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.
