Episode 056: Transformers Action Masters

Action Masters! Perhaps the most infamous gimmick in Transformers history, the year 1990 brought a line of Transformers...that didn't transform! Preceding the cancellation of the venerable toyline in the United States, these G.I. Joe-sized Autobots and Decepticons were highly articulated and came with transforming accessories, companions, and vehicles. Action Masters' relationship with the near death of Transformers as a toyline has long been fiercely debated among fans of the franchise, but there's one thing that's not up for debate among the Mutagen Men: we love 'em! So join us as we explore this unfairly maligned chapter in the history of transforming robot toys.
