Triple Takeover Toycast

The early 2000s began a major period of nostalgia for Transformers that has continued ever since, and a significant part of that was the 2002-6 Takara Transformers Collection series, often known as the 'book box' reissues. Today, we take a look at just what made this line of G1 re-releases so magic.
