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.

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.

Discovered these yesterday on ebay. There seem to be several online. Loving this oversized, simplified Ramhorn remolded to be a....cow? Pretty sure cow. A cowsette, if you will.

It's Babe, the Transforming Blue Ox!

Dammit! Now I need a Paul Bunyon Crossover! Maybe an Optimus Prime with paint apps to make his torso look like flannel, a new bearded head, and the energon axe in a more traditional steel-with-red-paint color scheme?

Prime's a Lumberjack and he's okay... lol

A lumber truck would make a pretty cool Transformer, though, like you said, really ramp up the lumberjack look on the robot mode!

Ooh, yeah. Make it one with the lumber grabbing arm:

Just add flannel lines to Animated Prime.

Dammit, you're right. Can't believe I forgot about him. He's perfect.
