So
Google Patents is pretty awesome to just browse around in.
Transformers episode 1 (More Than Meets the Eye (Part 1)) was first aired on September 17, 1984, nearly seven months after a patent for "
Toy gun convertible into robotic-humanoid form" was filed for patent... look at the drawings, I've never seen anything that even remotely resembles that.
Also,
this is an excellent idea.
Additionally if you're looking for a 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom house for only 230$ a month, "I have a house for rent in Mexico in a city called xalapa in veracruz Mexico. It is a huge house and great to lay low. I know this is a weird place to put my ad but I had to try!" Man... I was looking for a place to lay low too.
