#78: Transformers 1985 Minibots

Listen Later

Everyone loves a good Minibot, but something about the tiny Transformers was extra special in 1985! These five are some of the most unusual releases of the era, but they're as charming now as they ever were back in the day, showcasing exactly how to do a small 'pocket money' toy with a sense of flair. Today, we appreciate the little guys!
