Why?!

I just found out that someone I know had Transformer prototypes when they were a child. Cool, right? Well, I also just found out that said prototypes were thrown out at some point, presumably by his mom. Oh goodness. I feel like the world has lost the Hope Diamond of Transformers, or something!

Sad! That's like when someone's mom throws away his whole collection of vintage baseball cards/comic books/whatever. ; ;

At least if it's vintage comic books/cards/etc, there are more out in the world. These were prototypes of Transformers that were never released because they were not cost-effective to produce on a large scale. One of a kind. That's just sad.

Yes, I am a dork. :)

a lot of times parents don't understand the value of such things. My mom got rid of atari when we got nintendo.

Yeah, my dad did the same thing.

I still have packed away at my mom's GoBots which were the things Transformers actually ripped off.

They are showing Voltron on cartoon network!

Were Gobots made first? I didn't know.

Of course, they all look like good ole Japanese mechs to me.
