In 1984, America was introduced to the new and revolutionary toy line of The Transformers. This toy line was pioneer by featuring action figures that were "robots in disguise". A subsequent cartoon show and a comic book series were created to support the toy line, which quickly became one of the most successful of all times. The television series was on air for 3 years, and captured the imaginations of millions of children all over the world.
