Invation of the Transformers!!!

OK I've been a huge TF fan since I was a kid. Not to nerd out or anything but I have almost every toy from the 80s till today.

So in light of the new TF phenominon I've come up with some things to make your MINI More Than Meets The Eye. I may or may not sell these but it was fun to put them together.








I've had requests for Grill badges of the logos as well as my new 3spoke Steering wheel decals. So those will be on the website.

Anyway I thought I would post this to bring out all the closet TF fans out there. If you loved them as a kid and you still love them post your stories here.

I would love to see pics of any toys that anyone has been collecting over the years.

They look great! But I'd be extremely careful if you sell them. You'd probably be breaking trademark and/or copyright laws unless you get permission from the company behind the Transformers.

The top logo was changed 15% so I'm safe there. These would only be custom designs too. Hasbro doesn't care about that. If I was mass producing them and selling thousands then I would have something to worry about. For now It's just good fun.

Hah, hah. Nice to see someone else who has fond memories of the Transformers as kid. Sad to say that all my old toys are long gone except for my Prowl figure. He was always my favorite. So I had to buy 2 of him. I still have the one still mint in box.

Sign me up for a badge or two. I was a little too old to catch the original Transformers craze, but my son is really starting to get into them. He'd get a kick seeing the badge on my MINI.

I'll also have to check out your 3 spoke steering wheel decals. My horn happy wife has creased my MINI logo.
