Believe it or not, toy companies once commissioned cartoons to sell their products. I know, right? So this week, we're looking at two cartoons made to whet young boys' appetites for TOYS. Transformers: The Headmasters shows how you can make your Transformers more or less powerful by giving them head transplants, while also directing your attention to little battling beasts with the power of water, wood and fire. Meanwhile, Mighty Max takes the previously female concept of putting a playset in a compact and reimagines it for men, by giving it a story about a kid who can make portals with his baseball cap. Plus, Matsy raves about his new favorite cartoon about centaurs and their world, while Micah reflects on the worst cartoon theme songs. Come on in here, girls, and see what the other half was doing when you were kids!
Cartoons in this episode: Transformers: The Headmasters, "Rebellion on Planet Beast"; Mighty Max, "A Bellwether in One's Cap"
