Transformers

Robots in disguise.

Transformers were the ultimate present because they were two toys in one.

To start with they were either a car, a boat, or a gun, but then you could twist them inside out and they became robots.

Kids loved them, and a tie-in cartoon series meant that one Transformer was never enough. Soon houses were littered with hundreds of unidentifiable lumps of plastic.
