Among them were two sub-groups, who went unnamed in the U.S., but in other regions were known as the Autobot Axelerators and the Decepticon Skyscorchers. It also gradually introduced a handful of new characters, which felt like a natural continuation of the design sense of the 1980s Transformers. The launch of G2 introduced me to many of the G1 figures I missed (although in wacky color schemes and paired with new, gaudy accessories), and gave me a new comic to hunt down at the bookstore. All of the characters I loved from my scavenged comic books and rented VHS tapes were long off the shelves, only accessible via luck of the draw at yard sales and thrift shops.īut come 1993, that changed. The 90s was a lean time to be a budding Transformers fan. The Dragon Fortress and I both grew up around the same time, experiencing a little bit of the 1980s and all of the 1990s. Specifically, let’s talk about Transformers: Generation 2, the grungy younger brother of the original Transformers line (which only got its G1 moniker thanks to the titling of the second generation, believe or don’t).
These days I mostly post on Instagram about Transformers. Hi, I’m Dracula! You may remember me from such films as The Monster Squad and Santo and Blue Demon vs. Give him a follow on Instagram if you like this review!) His writing about Transformers from many eras, and the accompany photographs, are quite stunning and brilliantly formatted. ( Editor’s Note: Today’s post comes from my good friend Video Dracula, whose work you can find on Instagram and Twitter.
