Transformer Afternoon Goodness

Before they were Transformers, they were a Japanese toy line called Diaclone along with a couple of toys from line called Microman (although those mostly became Micronauts). Then Hasbro bought the rights - hired Marvel Comics to come up with names (courtesy of Jim Shooter, Dennis O'Neil and Bob Budiansky), a back story and a comic book tie-in and the rest is history.



It's not quite Megatron but it's close although the gun totting kid in the commercial is kinda creepy.



And look no testicles.
