But my favorite, and I cannot remember his name to save my life, was this little brown guy who turned into wither a jeep or a tank - I don't recall which. Next time I'm home I'll have to watch my "Transformers" tapes and find out which one I'm talking about!

Maroon is a very dark red (think Star Trek NextGen bridge officer uniforms), whereas magenta is a purplish red.
