Things you never realised about Transformers (toys etc)

I just spotted the stealth pun in Beastbox's name. I put it down to not having any connection whatsoever to US rap and hip-hop culture back in 1988 (and no real connection now, either, but I do at least know some terms these days ). It also has some substance to it when you stop to think about it, unlike a lot of puns.

Ah glad you got that, I have a specific soft spot in my heart for Beastbox and Squawktalk, for that very same reason. Beastbox is a great use of a name. I also love the way the cassette teams are registered in high and low groups. Beastbox is bass, Squawtalk is treble kinda thing.

I'm colour blind.

I've had Huffer since 1985.

Yesterday, I discovered he's blue, not purple

This was news to me too.
I did a poll and approximately 2/3 of respondents said they see him as blue not purple.

His shade of Blue is verging on Purple, so I wouldn't worry too much about it.

Oh I'm not. I can't do anything about being colour blind.I was surprised, though.

What colour would you say this is?

Blue? Purple?

That colour was lifted directly from this photo of Huffer. Here is a comparison of Huffer and his blue next to Hook and his purple.

Either 1/3 of respondents are also colour blind, or it's some kind of ManHuffer effect.
