Eva has begun to love the Transformers. She has her Rescue Bots and when we play she wants me to send them out on missions. I think my imagination has gotten weak because I can’t seem to come up with creative missions. So the Autobots stand around having these meetings. Occasionally they go off and try to stop a volcano from blowing up (plot line in the show). I’m going to have to start to plan out more missions. Maybe I should have played Dungeons and Dragons as a kid. I can’t even seem to come up with regular stories and Eva keeps asking me to tell her stories. Gotta work on my storytelling skills.
Transformers for little hands are nothing new. A few years ago there was a line of Transformers called Transformers Go-Bots. These were Transformers for little kids. The thought was a great one, get younger kids interested in Transformers and make the robots easy to transform and fun to play with. The thing is, something was missing. There was not storyline with that set of toys and there was no supporting television show. I’m glad to see that there are now Transformers Rescue Bots. These are Transformers that are not only easy to transform but have a clear storyline and some recognizable characters in the mix. For example BumbleBee is part of this storyline and he is one of the most well loved and recognizeable Transformers characters ever, second only to Optimus Prime, who also happens to be a part of this storyline.
