Decepticons Underground is pretty notable for being one of the only depicions of the end of the Great War.
Quickmix buries the Decepticons all alive in cement, the big jerk

Listened to some of them last night, the speed/pitch is just a little off in couple of them.
Muchos fun though.
Come on hasbro get them all out on a cd with a big Ladybird book omnibus. That would kick all sorts of ass.

I have almost all the books but none of the tapes, although I did own several at one time.

I managed to pick up a few of the books a few years ago but have not got any of the tapes. I think maybe the tapes are like gold-dust these days because I assume they were played regularly by the kids of the day and got worn out after a while so any tapes that are still playable are probably much sought after.

My tapes were played to destruction back in the day - TF tapes or otherwise. I adored books and cassettes. We did not have a video player in our house (which was fine, never bothered me - which some other kids thought was strange). Perhaps I would have watched videos as obsessively, but for me it was audio tapes, which I hold directly resonsible for my love of stories in audio form and for my keen ear for sound design and direction as an adult.

I was the opposite. We had a video recorder but no cassette deck and so I became an obsessive video watcher up until the point when some of the tapes fell apart due to constant use!

Ah, that theme music really took me back! And the way the narrator says "ION DRIVE" still bugs me after all these years!
My childhood was similar (ish) to Ralph's except that I wasn't allowed to watch television of any kind. At all. But I was allowed audiobooks and played them until the tapes stretched on my Walkman.
I remember putting the "anti rolling" on (which never worked), charging round the place with a kitchen roll tube up my teeshirt sleeve pretending I was Megatron.
Have I shared too much?

I'm afraid you have G! The only audio books I got as a kid were Hans Christian Andersson ones. I remember waking up one Christmas morning, discovered I had an audio book and then discovered it was The Emperors New Clothes!

While we did get to watch tv I didn't spend a lot of time watching it. Only when certain programs were on. I had more than a few book and tape collections and they were listened to death. I strongly suspect it was because I listened to audios it took me so long to become interested in actual music and song.
