OH MY GOSH CAPTAIN DESTROYER!!!!

He led my villains of various different factions for a long, long time. My grandma had a friend whose birthday was right after Christmas. She'd invite family and friends over and give people presents, and I got this from her one year. Never got any of the others (ok, so looking these over, I may not have missed out on much, and Captain Destroyer's arms did give out after a while because they were pretty soft plastic) but wow, this is a cool nostalgia hit.

They're definitely a bit below Transformers or Gobots, more in line with Converters, but they have a certain charm to them. I've actually started to really love these "lesser" transforming robot lines over the last few years.

Orange Crunch is very happy to see you.

He's giving me both barrels!

And my Ohio Day 2 finds. I was supposed to be going home today, but FedEx failed to deliver some parts that I was waiting on, so here I am for another night. But, since none of these are Transformers, this thread seems to still be the place to put them.

Found me a Dinotron Stegatron (now only missing a Rextron to have the full set in Easter colors), a couple of Zybots, and a really good condition Leader 1. I have a Super Gobots Leader 1, but it's in much rougher shape. Other than 1 floppy wing joint, this one feels practically mint. Nice stickers, good stiff joints, no plastic discoloration. Pretty happy with it.

Oh! And an honorable mention:

This one I wanted, but didn't quite $50 want. Dinosaur headed Jumpstarter knockoff:

A Jumpstarter with the head and tail of a Zoids Gojulas. That's an interesting mashup.

The one laying down looks like the head of a Zoids Dark Horn, minus the nose horn.
