Anybody actually remember this commercial?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZGtW29q2n20
I find it rather amusing that when Victor Caroli is talking about heroic Autobots battling evil Decepticons, they show footage of Cliffjumper beating the crap out of poor Mirage.
However, what I found really interesting about this commercial was that it uses an early, aborted Transformers logo at the very end. It's the same erroneous logo that popped up on the Hasbro sticker sheets for early toys like Jetfire or Grimlock, but it was never used for the toy line packaging proper. It makes you wonder how the television station arrived at that being an official Transformers logo. Did Hasbro actually supply the TV stations with this logo?

Grimlock or Jetfire having anything unusual on the sticker sheets.
Running change, I assume, although it could also be faulty memory.

I looked up other versions and they don't have that. I know my local
station didn't.

The station identification would have been different from channel to channel. I just think it's interesting that these guys used this early, aborted Hasbro logo. They didn't stumble onto it accidentally.

Zob (they stumbled onto it deliberately!)
