Secret Transformers Autobot Rescue Squad.

The idea was that by joining this club, you became an ally of the Autobots. If you spot Decepticon activity you were supposed to contact the Autobots to alert them! I seriously used to pretend to do this - I actually had a rotary-dial telephone on my desk and pretended to call the Autobots with it. It wasn't actually plugged in or anything - wasn't a working phone, but I would play make believe. Later when I had a dial-up modem and computer in my room (back in the pre-internet days of dial-up BBSes) I got a telephone extension cord so that the phone could actually work.
