...from vehicles into futuristic robots, essentially doubling each toy's play value. The line was a smash success, heavily buoyed by a popular television cartoon and comic book series. Despite succumbing to the fickle whims of popular taste, the line managed to rebound and, like a sort of Star Trek for children, has maintained its popularity through various incarnations over the years up to the present...
...information such as mailing addresses and emergency contact information; view personal academic information such as your major and minor, the number of units completed and general education and foreign language requirements fulfilled; and, most importantly, register for class!
