How to Make a Transformers Autobot Sandwich!

This is a sponsored post in partnership with Transformers. All opinions are my own.

When I was growing up, there wasn't a show or a toy that I enjoyed more than Transformers. The idea that a car, plane, or boombox could turn into a robot ready for battle was pretty much the coolest thing imaginable. My friends and I would play with our Transformers robots for hours on end. One of my favorite Transformers robots that I owned was the Dinobot leader Grimlock, but of course, Soundwave and his cassette tape Decepticons were hard to beat. The ultimate dream was always to collect every Destructicon to build the mighty Devastator!

While I have passed on my love of Transformers to my kids, we have never taken the opportunity to watch the animated series together until now. We have obviously taken Bumblebee into battle and had imaginary clashes over Cybertron on the living room floor. However, there is something about watching the show together that helps the story come to life. That is why I'm celebrating the new Transformers Father's Day playlist on YouTube with an Autobots sandwich recipe!

I'm excited to celebrate this Father's Day with my family and our favorite Autobots Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, Grimlock, and Windblade. My youngest and I have already started watching some of the episodes together on YouTube. In honor of Father's Day, I asked him what Autobot that I am most like. I had no idea what he would say but I was pretty honored that he replied with "Optimus Prime." When I asked him why, he told me that I'm the tallest person in our family and I stand up for people. I'll take it! In honor of being like Optimus Prime, I thought I'd show everyone how to make an Autobot sandwich using the famous icon. 

Gather your Transformers loving dad and kid's favorite sandwich ingredients. You can use whatever meat, cheese, and vegetables that you like. I stuffed the sandwich with ham, cheese, and lettuce. The outside is where this gets really fun. 

 

Spread cream cheese on the top slice of bread. Then cut the pieces of the Autobot shield out of red bell pepper. Here's a pro tip. Print out the icon and cut the pieces out of paper. Place them on top of the bell pepper and use them as a guide to create the shield. Finish the sandwich by arranging them in the cream cheese as shown. 

 

Serve with cubes of watermelon for Energon cubes and watch another Transformers video on YouTube while you enjoy your meal! Make sure to follow the Transformers YouTube channel so you never miss a chance for you and your kids to connect over fun action-packed videos that are great for all ages! You can also settle in for a Transformers marathon with episodes from Transformers Cyberverse, Transformers Rescue Bots Academy and Transformers War for Cybertron streaming on Netflix! Oh, and if you are looking for a Father's Day present for me I've always wanted a vintage Soundwave figure to replace the one I had as a kid.
