Working overtime, fighting crime ... fighting crime!
Transformers are big. Thundercats are big.What I remember really digging, though, is M.A.S.K. For years, I believed that any car could be turned into a fighter jet if you outfitted it with doors that opened upward, instead of out. I couldn't figure out why all cars weren't made that way.
I remember M.A.S.K. mostly for the truly awesome toys (Billy and I had at least the "Hurricane '57 Chevy" and Trakker's "Thunderhawk," maybe others).
What I didn't remember is the rockin' opening song from the show.
(A post today on Jalopnik sent me on this nostalgia trip.)

dude, that is so awesome, i got to get liam some mask toys
i don't remember any other vehicles we might have had, i think back then i was more into climbing the tree and pretending it was a helicopter then toys, tho i could be totally wrong and just don't remember all the toys i had(there might be a lesson in the raising of liam there)
I will alert the future doctor of this entry in your BLOG - he was a big transformer fan. I don't recall MASK, but maybe he will. Ask Metta if she does.
DUUUUDE!!
So weird!
I too had entirely forgot about MASK. BUT DUUUDE! Literally, I swear to God, last week Thursday I cleaned grandmas garage, and I found one of our MASK coloring books!!
And I thought, hey, Billy and Dustin would love to hear about this thing. But, I could tell by the sophistication of the colored pages that you guys were too young and decided you guys wouldn't remember it at all.
What a coincidence. After like what, 2o years. Weird.
Anyhow. I saved it. I could send it to Liam now.
btw, the motorcycle that turned into a helicopter was my favorite.
I wonder if Honda will make one of those some day.
I totally found myself singing along to that song even though I hadn't heard it for 10+ years. Thanks to MASK and GI Joe my childhood was much more complete.
