A PhD in transformation

Remember back in the good 'ol days when Transformers could actually, oh I don't know, TRANSFORM. Remember when you used to have contests to see how fast you could convert them from a car to a robot and back again?!? Yeah, not anymore. These new ones are made of plastic. PLASTIC. Psh.......... You need a 10-page pamphlet just to figure them out. What happened to twisting the legs, popping out a head and having a robot? Why do they have to be complicated? My 30-year-old brain cannot begin to comprehend the intricacies of these new transformers, much to my frustrated 4-year-old's dismay.
