This post is about Transformers in general. Recently we got our kids the Transformers Animated “Movie” (the first few episodes of the series) and they’ve absolutely loved it. This has led my wife and I to start researching some toys for Aiden, since his birthday is coming up in a few months.

Oh my…

To say that the Voyager class Transformers Animated toys are some of the best Transformers toys I’ve ever seen would be an understatement. Don’t get me wrong. I grew up on G1 and will always have a soft spot in my heart for it, but these toys are pretty fantastic.

You can tell a lot of work went into designing them. The toys look great in both robot mode and vehicle mode, and aren’t that hard to transform (I’m looking at YOU, movie Transformers).

So what’s the point of this post?

My kids love Transformers, and through them I’ve come to love them again also. The Animated series, which I thought would be a mess, is pretty damn great, and I love being able to get excited about something my kids are excited about.
