Watching the cartoon was just the catalyst, for us.
the best part of She-Ra, ThunderCats, GI Joe, was making up a live-action game to play outside,
playing the characters ourselves.
(we must have looked like idiots, trying to "transform" into cars, lol)
Ahh... flashing back to many happy memories of chasing my friends around the neighborhood, making engine and blaster noises, and holding this aloft to make it "swoop" through the sky:

On a related note, I found a dad who might be as good a father as Kingpin:

I'm with you, brother. I'd love to build myself something like this:
http://www.theverge.com/2015/4/18/844692...experience
A Christian told me: if you were saved you cant lose your salvation. you're sealed with the Holy Ghost
I replied: Can I refuse? Because I find the entire concept of vicarious blood sacrifice atonement to be morally abhorrent, the concept of holding flawed creatures permanently accountable for social misbehaviors and thought crimes to be morally abhorrent, and the concept of calling something "free" when it comes with the strings of subjugation and obedience perhaps the most morally abhorrent of all... and that's without even going into the history of justifying genocide, slavery, rape, misogyny, religious intolerance, and suppression of free speech which has been attributed by your own scriptures to your deity. I want a refund. I would burn happily rather than serve the monster you profess to love.

Totally! I feel like, as a StarWars fan, I should find out who made that and send him some money to help compensate him for his efforts in raising a new generation of fans!
And can you please call me TRS or Rocket? (Rocky is the name of my neighbor's dog.)

This reminds me of a guy I worked with years ago who would frequently have me over after work for a bit of a smoke-out. He'd often complain about not having a girlfriend or getting laid and would ask crazy shit like, "What is it with women? What's wrong with me?"
I would bite my tongue, stare at his large replica of the U.S.S. Enterprise hanging from his living room ceiling, and say, "I don't know, man. Maybe you should just get out more. You know, mingle."
