Anybody know how Spike could sit inside Bumblebee?

Because he turned into a VW Beetle that's how Duhh!

Or how Soundwave could shoot with Megatron?

Dunno.

And just where did Optimus Prime's trailer go when he transformed?

I assume he left it behind like the toy does. I never actually got to see
the cartoon.

Transformers the cartoon was pretty cool, considering it actually had
a plot, which most cartoons in this day and age seem to lack (except
for like Batman and Gargoyles).  All in all though when it comes to
mechs nothing beats Voltron!   : )

Speaking of cartoons though does anyone watch like DragonballZ,
Tenchi, or Outlaw Star?

Robert

Original Voltron (Lions was cool, till they computer animated it), but the
vehicle one was odd.  I had the Lion toy (another import) and my friend had
the vehicle one and it was hard for us to play with as it had three modes:
1) all fifteen vehicles seperated, 2)three combo units, and 3) one big
honkin' robot.  You see the problem?  2 kids and an odd number of toys.  Big
ol' problem for a sub-13 year old.
Have not seen that Outlaw Star thing yet, don't have time.
Dragonball Z was cool for a while, but then I thought that they do so much
battle posturing that it takes a story months to move along.
Tenchi is just weird, and I like that.
My kids just got introduced to anime over at Blockbuster.  Movie called
Kiki's Delivery Service, kinda family friendly movie about a female Harry
Potter type.
You might like it.
