| Analytical Eighties: A little word game- can you figure out the layman names for the scientific descriptions of classic 80s phenomena? From physics to tv programs. Its interesting, but the graphics are what really got my attention- check them out! �� Robotech A no-frills page with the best links to Robotech information, long complete and informative. Including episode guide, timeline, ect. With cool pics thrown in. �� Ideas from the...: a long list of innovations from the decade. Good refresher course, and many of the items are not obvious! �� Hannah's Cartoons of the...: a fast growing guide to the softer side of the best toons on god's formally green earth. �� Jimmy's M.U.S.C.L.E Realm of Knowledge: remember those little semi-flexible rubber superhero looking figures they sold in clear plastic trashcans? Before seeing this site i did realize just how much enthusiasm i retained from my childhood. These things are the greatest! Site includes a list of the 235 american muscles and the webmaster's names for them, charts dealing with the color variations, bootleg versions, muscle oddities, miscellaneous items such as "Lightbulb Guy" (#237) and japanese versions, an artwork page with painted muscles (very cool!), a FAQ with history and pictures of the three package types (bubblecard 3-pack, trashcan 10-pack and 'champion belt'), and a muscle of the week. This is really great stuff. From the creator/maintainer of GrandSlam's GI Joe site. �� 80's Coinup Resurrection: well, they tried! Of course the resurrection is still on even though this site may be closed. Contents include descriptions and emulator links for Donkey Kong, Galaxian, Pac-Man, Centipede, BombJack and Pengo and links where you can get the emulators to play the C64, arcade or NES versions :). Also, a great reason to visit this site is to download their original eighties coin-up creation- Santaman! The reviews are good. �� Roemello's 80sXchange Palace: another good way to get directly to the MIDIs here. And remember, check out the messageboard at www.80sxchange.com 8). �� Shinanai's Deliciously Unusual 3-Dimension Food Sculptures: from California, these two chicks bake up the most horrifying theme cakes you will ever lay your eyes on! Probably you've never seen one before. This link takes you to pictures of cake after twisted cake with the rockstars they made them for! Dont miss the naked Godzilla, severed heads, ect. Yum �� Stellara777's Sectaurs Homepage: remember the insect humanoid cartoon from the mid-eighties? Well this page is worth viewing even if you never saw it. Stellara (no relation) covers all 8 issues of the Marvel comic with covershot and COMPLETE blowbyblow of each issue. There is also the Sectaurs Style Guide being placed online here (this is the series bible they used to make the cartoon= attributes of characters, their colors, how they should be drawn and represented, history, sectaur alphabet, facial expressions, ect!). And what is coming down the pipe is sure to have people coming back- summeries for the 3 hardbacks, 2 book/tape sets, coloring and sticker book. Its really edited so well that i suggest everyone take a look. �� Ultimate Lyric Quiz: over 1000 lyrics you must figure out the song for! Too damn cool. Must have been a lot of work, but if you love something you keep at it 8O). ��

BotCon Online: once a year a botcon is held in specific states- please check it out if you are interested in ever attending. ��Greg Gaub's TRANSFORMERS Page: one of the best pages which are still being updated. I have to say its cant miss, no room to cover it all � Japanese Transformers Page: awesome pictures for the many series that were seen only in Japan. Although some of the japanese "G2" stuff i've seen was cool in comics i can't tell you about what the cartoon was like. � Nightwind's Asylum for Insane TF Fans: little long to load but it has super graphics, hilarious NON Fiction (Starscream's serious psychological evaluation for one), a real and huge Guide to writing (webmistress was an English teacher), some excellent fanfic (she writes really good stories). You cant lose here and she's funnny. Working on an episode guide with heavy commentary too. � Obscure Transformers: all the bots we never got to see more then a few times (maybe for the better). Mostly converted TFs that are only valuable for their rarity, but also some comicbook characters that are mainly "extras" anyway. But his narrations are hilarious so i think it's worth a good look. � Teletran1 (RoboBase): Long ago the webmaster of Teletran1 was unable to retrieve has site management password thanks to the ever helpful Yahoo! But instead of buckling under as I might have done, he has restaked his claim in the TF Universe with cannons blazing. Clean and extensive, these are the fansites that make the internet what it is. Plenty of renditions of Cybertron's legends, a collection of hysterical TF articles, a clean and easy navigation system, and the crowning mark that makes any lowly commoner green with envy: a picturama of his collection. Not only that but the webmaster is a professional artist, and being a lover of Freddy Kreugger and other horror hallmarks I got a rise seeing them rendered by a true visionary. There is also a link to his own personal turnpike of fansites, as well a personal page that is just as worthwhile as his main sites, and while I have to check them all out I have to imagine they are just as accomplished. Definitely a high ranker on the web and a credit to the race that made TF live again! � Rob's Page: guide to EVERY American issue of TF comic, indepth and rare. He wrote tons of awesome fanfic. He has a japanese guide too. � Rodimus Prime's Homepage: another kick butt page with sweat design and graphics. Everything Rodimus � Temple of Primus: a very cool site set up like a religious shrine. � Joe's Domain: lots of material here and its alive with updates � The Ruins of Cybertron: if you are a PC user and a TF fan you are in luck- Rob has created a top-down perspective NES-style RPG for ya! Its in it's Beta Stage now. Awesome. Check out the Original box scans while your there. These are pictures of the actually package the figures came in. � TF FAQ v6.0: a great place to read answers to very common and important questions � TF Online Encyclopedia: a pretty damn big and with super-depth updating archive of all things transformers; the series, the U.S. and U.K. comics and more. � Walky's Internet Pitstop: this link takes you to the front page where you can find a link to all his TF pictures, but the other stuff is cool enough to check out as well � Zobovor's Multi-Faceted TF Site: fanfic, encyclopedia, and character profiles of fan-made bots from said fanfic, heh. � A World Transformed: Now much faster- especially look for his friggin multiple volume transformer fanfic epic. But thats not all. Once you see his "toy" collection (mostly TF) you will cry in your unworthiness. Well hell i would like that stuff lol � Botch's Transformers Box Art Archive: this is a huge archive of TF box art. Im assuming they were graphics placed on the packaging the figures came it. Kind of strange- instead of being depictions of the animated robots they are depictions of the figures as animated. On the one hand they are oddly playskool-esque, and on the other they seem to have been created by a computor artist with all the time in the world to create the representations. And they look like they could kick G.I.Joe's butt too (not that thats a good thing)- firing what appear to be explosively propelled projectiles instead of lasers. Ahhh no idiot parental groups in site, now those were the days i loved so much � The Colony: every page for a good number of UK TF comics have been scanned for your viewing pleasure! But from what i've seen of the American comic the UK lucked out as far as artists are concerned- but the writing is pretty good.
