I practically have the entire Marvel series in near mint condition. At some point I even had the movie soundtrack on vinyl (that's the predecessor to CDs for those too young to remember.) and I have it on CD (CDs are the predecessor to iTunes/mp3s for those too young to remember ;)). I tried watching the latest few series on Cartoon Network and it felt like Pokemon with giant robots instead of tiny creatures with names that sounds like medical conditions (yes doctor, I seem to have come down with Pikachu) so I couldn't bring myself to watch it.<br /> I'm looking forward to the new movie. I can't say if it's a bad adaptation or not since I have not seen it yet. It could turn out to be a very refreshing, entertaining take on the transformers mythos, or it could be a huge flop.</p> <p>As to the flames on Prime: doesn't anybody watch "Pimp My Ride"?</p> Being a child of the 80’s I’m a huge fan of the original cartoon & comics.

As to the flames on Prime: doesn’t anybody watch “Pimp My Ride”?
