Hmm...no, not that one. It wasn't quite that fancy.

Oh, I'm way older than that. This would have been right around the 1984-1985 time period. The one I had was absolutely a knock-off, too, so the original version was probably a few years before that. It predates my first "real" Transforming robots, which were Zeemon and Hound, both of which I...

Aha! Thank you. That's definitely the toy from the ebay lot, but not the one I'm remembering. The Xabungle one turns into a futuristic truck-thing, whereas mine was some sort of spaceship. Had a roughly similar look to it, though. The memories are old and super fuzzy now.

Saw this guy in a lot of Gobots figures on ebay. Anyone know what it is? I think I had one as a kid, but I can't find any information about it.

I'll be trying to buy the set for Hound and Sunstreaker, and I have a place in my heart (and shelf) for Jazz, but I'll probably be selling off the Trailbreaker and Wheeljack as I've got the Earthrise version of both already.

The studio higher-ups almost always seem to take the exactly wrong lesson away from a movie's success or failure. It very much feels like a Steve Martin in The Jerk "he hates these cans!!" sort of reaction. 9 times out of 10, a movie is a success or failure because it's well written or at...

It's what got me. It was just such an amazing looking design coupled with being a return to "my" Transformers characters (I grew up in the heyday of G1. I was aware that the brand had kept going after I stopped watching, but hadn't really paid to much attention to it.) Plus, the design, the...

The free shipping alone makes it worthwhile for me, but results may vary depending on how many things you order.

Quick robot mode comparison picture:

It is a lot. I've bought several Titans, but they're definitely a "sometimes treat." I've always been tempted to wait or clearance, but I don't see Tidal Wave here going on sale anytime soon given how quickly his first run sold out at full price.

Aaaaaaand he's gone. Sold out in under 20 minutes.

YOU THOUGHT WRONG!! You may be thinking of how everyone always complained about the Ford Mustang being extremely difficult to transform properly?

Speaking of Titans, Tidal Wave just went up for Preorder (at $200) over on Pulse

From Nonnef, frequent maker of add-on bits and bobs. Been waiting for this one for a while now. I bought a spare Sludge during one of Target's sales, so now I'm just waiting on delivery of the kit. Love the attention to making lots of new robot-mode parts to help make him feel as different...

Alternators Smokescreen will always have a special place in my heart for being the figure that pulled me back into the hobby. Pretty much any of the Alternators, as the whole line remains to this day one of my favorites. As Lastmaximal said, the Ford GT is one that immediately comes to mind...

I always love this style of "but what if this character had been in G1" style imaginary repaints/remolds. It's so fun to take a modern design and try to think of what simplified features on an 80's die cast toy would have inspired them.

One more with Thundertron, engaged in a pirate battle (unfortunately, my Cannonball is in a tub that's a pain to get to right now, so he missed out) And a version edited to be more old-timey:

Speaking of Thundertron's shoulder perches, anyone have any idea what's supposed to mount here? Seems to be made for something specific, but I have no idea what it would be.

It does immensely! Thank you for saving me from having to do that same fumbling.

He's claiming that cup of tea in the name of the Queen!
