Everyone is a hero - written before the much-anticipated "Transformers"

First of all, I definitely want to go to the cinema to see this movie.

Before thinking about the movie, let my mind go back to the 1980s when I grew up happily.

Don't try hard to remember, I already smell the plastic smell of Transformers toys. At that time, my biggest dream was to have a Transformers toy. Not only me, but all the boys, this is what I think about all the time.

I can't remember exactly what grade I was in at that time. It was probably in 1988. When I was in the fourth grade, Transformers began to be played on TV. At that time, I was fascinated by watching it every day. My hometown was in the countryside, and the vast plains were the biggest entertainment. In the threshing field full of grain heaps, cobs and straw (cobs are also corn) and firewood heaps It is Optimus Prime who worships, especially the laser sword in Optimus Prime's hand. Trim a sunflower stem to the right length, hold it in the hand, as strong as possible, so that it can cut off other people's weapons, and occasionally imitate Megatron, roll up a 16 folio book with a rubber band Put it on his arm, aim at a certain classmate, imitate Megatron's incomparably powerful cannon with "Boom", and then imagine that the classmate was knocked down, and at the same time, the wall of the classroom behind him collapsed, right. ~ Megatron's cannon is the effect. There are also people who like Starscream, who thinks that he is a loner and has the dashing energy of a knight. There is also a little playmate who is the smallest, with yellow hair and always being bullied. He likes Bumblebee, not to mention Bumblebee is small. Xiao is indeed very similar to him. Bumblebee is also a hero and has made great contributions to Autobot. In short, everyone is a hero, and every boy has a hero in his heart. In our daily play, we are imitating the tones of the heroes in our hearts and the mannerisms of the heroes.

At that time, anyone who had Transformers toys would be a millionaire and would envy a lot of people. There was a girl at our front desk who often said that one of her relatives bought her a Transformer, "It's so tall!" She raised her hand to a height of half a meter from the desk. God, my tablemate and I were both stunned, let alone such a tall one, even the size of our thumbs, we only touched someone else's one or two times, "I brought you to play?" God, that's simply It's so beautiful, but it comes at a price. Helping her with cleaning, collecting rare cigarette papers for her brother (cigarette papers were also an important asset for boys at that time), and a series of other coolie-level requirements, we all suck Dian helped her do it, but in the end, we couldn't see her "so tall" Transformers. Alas, it seems that women have no shortage of thoughts and means to control men since childhood.

At that time, my obsession with Transformers probably reached a certain level. I once borrowed a Transformers cartoon. Different from dynamic TV, static cartoons are unique. When I looked at the Optimus Prime inside, I just wanted to It's impossible to pull him out of the painting, of course, I drew a series of images of Optimus Prime imitating the comics. At that time, I also tried to assemble a car man out of toothpaste boxes, match boxes, buttons, etc. , but still not satisfied. But in the end, there is still something I am proud of. In the blank space in the upper right corner of each page of a new textbook, I draw an animation of the Autobot transforming. With a twist in the hand, the book is quickly flipped, and the small images are coherent, and you can see an Optimus Prime gradually transforming into a truck in the end. Such a rough work has also been praised by a dry egg , very satisfied. Hehe this is learned from another cartoon clever Yixiu.

At that time, there was another important way of chasing stars by sticking stickers. Inside and outside the stationery box, book covers, desks, and the walls of the home, all the places that could be posted were full. Optimus Prime, Starscream, Locomotive, Dinosaur Brothers, What iron slag, silt, a hero. If you see a character you don't have, you have to buy it (except for the ugly and abominable five-faced monster), you can post it if you buy it, and replace it when it is old. Now think about it: Transformers~ What a big industry, huh, that's a story later.

I was obsessed to this point, and there was a time when I had psychics, but no one believed me until now. I was in my first year of junior high. , I found that a Transformers character (not a well-known character, I don't know what it is) on my stationery box jumped up and down. I quickly turned my eyes to look at the stationery box, but the beating stopped. I squinted at the blackboard again and jumped up again. I quickly called my deskmate to look at my stationery box and asked him if it moved. She stared at it for a long time, "It's not moving." I looked sideways at the blackboard and stared at it jumping from the corner of my eye, "Look now, is it jumping?" "I really didn't jump! Are your eyes jumping?" Haven't seen it skip it. That day, I have always clearly remembered that it really jumped. Analysing now, I must have had eye fatigue and had an illusion, but back then, I believed that it really moved, and I fantasized about a series of stories about it turning into a real car. The people drive me to and from school every day and help me punish evil Yang Shan's beautiful scenery story.

For those of us who were born in the 70s and early 80s, almost all of us grew up watching Transformers. Everyone has a hero in their heart, and everyone has saved the world in their dreams. Today, 20 years later, when I suddenly see When the iron face of Optimus Prime, whom I hadn't seen for many years but was familiar with, was no longer familiar to me, my heart was suddenly hit by the cold light from the corner of the Autobot leader's eyes, as if I had returned to the threshing floor full of screams of killing. , there was a faint voice in my ears: Autobots ~ Deformation - Qi Kakuqi!
