It's just a matter of time... Loved those M.A.S.K. guys. Totally regular dudes in jeans and shirts, until you stuck a giant, almost-magical mask/helmets on them. A friend of mine in 6th grade had the gas station. Many-a-time, I considered stealing it, piece by piece. http://www.albertpenello.com/mask/bhillsm1.jpg Good call!

They were like regular vehicles that transformed into fighting vehicles. I even remember having a transforming gas station. Ok, so they sound stupid now. But they weren't. Jerks.
