This has been pissing me off bigtime for ages now, my G1 Soundwave has vanished. Ravage and Rumble are still about, with their bits, but no Soundwave, and no weapons or accessories at all. This leads me to believe I've sold him, but having checked my email history, it was never on eBay. And I've scoured the attic. And the shed. And every nook and cranny I can think of. So where the hell is my favourite TF toy?  |

I hope it turns up, they usually do. I did it a few time when I was younger. Lost the jet bit of Flywheels and years later found it amongst the tangled roots and plants weeds of a small tree in our garden. Surprisingly rust free.
The oddest one was on my birthday. I must have been between 5-7 and I got, erm MOTU Buzzoff I think. Sometime during the day I took it to show my friend down the street. 5 houses away. It was a bright sptember afternoon and I went down the tenfoot with it. 10 minutes later I'd come back home (I think it was my school lunch break) and I didn't have it. I never saw it again. I dont know how or when I put it down it had just gone.

Missing guns are even worse. There's 2 limited edition clear Zoids weapons that an Armada toy was using - gone (The orange versions of the Cannon Turtle's weapons)

I've kinda resigned myself to having lost him for good to be honest. I ransacked the house yesterday, and managed to uncover a complete Targetmaster Scoop and Nosecone with bits! Very groovy, but I want my bloody Soundwave!

You can rest assured I didn't take it.
Pulled that damn string 300 times and it never once said "Bwahahahahaha"...

G1 Soundwave was a master of espionage so maybe he's just hiding somewhere where you can't find him which was his whole intention in the first place.

After 5 years of Status: Missing Presumed in the Hoover, I finally came across Sixtrain's left fist!
It was in the box with the Action Master accessories, instead of the Micromaster accessories. I was worried I'd have to find an expensive replacement on eBay.
Has anyone else every lost an accessory only for it to turn up later?

Sort of. I lost Streetwise's pistol on a caravanning holiday. A year a two ago, I saw a gun at a car boot sale. I could see it was a Transformer's gun but didn't know whose so bought it and after researching it I discovered it was Streetwise's.

I lost half of Fly wheels, the jet I think. I don't know exactly when I lost it but I found it probably nearly 10 years later behind a tree in the back garden. It must have fallen (as I liked putting toys in trees) and gotten lost at the bottom which is a tangle of branches and thorny things.
Amazingly the springy action still works. And oddly despite only losing one part, and the other remaining indoors and dry both have the most rusty screws of any Transformer I have owned from new.
I also lost the shoulder pin from WST Sideswipe and then found it in the carpet months later.
In the permenantly lost department I have a heman figure I got for my birthday took it five houses down the street to show my friend. When I cam back a few minutes later (it was school lunch hour so I cant have been long) I no longer had the toy. I have no idea what happened to it.

When I was 6 I dropped the right fist of my Optimus Prime. It bounced down the stairs and landed somewhere in the menacing rhododendron bush outside the front door belonging to my downstairs neighbour. As previously documented I am terrified of flowers and there was no way I was going in after it. I couldn't see it and so gave it up for lost.
Seven years later the new downstairs neighbour came to the door with a soil encrusted Optimus Prime fist that her cat had dug up.
Awesome.

I lost Robot Masters Lio Convoy's missile when M fired it off in my old flat. Never did find it, even when I was gutting the place when I left.

Also had a perchant when I was younger, to bury Special Team members and Minibots in the burning desert world of my sandpit. Lost quite a few when my parents put down tarmac.

I too buried many toys round our back.
Last night, I opened up Universe Treadbolt, and a bit of the gun thingy pinged away to oblivion. Cue many minutes of crawling along the living room floor before I found it.

I only did it one time. Unfortunately it was in the Sahara desert.
In truth it was more likely a Tunisian beach, but I always remember it as the desert which we also visited. Either way there was too much sand for a game of hide the police car.
At least I learnt my lesson.

Surely I can't be the only one who has too many TFs and cant find particular ones buried or misplaced somewhere.
I recentley dug out Universe Prowl to do some buddy cop photo skit stuff with G1 Nightbeat, only I can't find Nightbeat!
Normally I keep everything in order (not in hoarder), but Nightbeat has eluded me.
Does anyone have missing TFs they can't find!

I currently have 2 Darkwings and want to be rid of them on ebay, but I can't find my Darkwing so can't sell them until I do in case one of them is mine. If I never find hte third one I'll have to keep em both.

I lost Minicon Cybertron Drillbit for ages recently! He was filed in the wrong box. As visitors to the LoJ will have seen I have lots of boxes dividing the collection up.

During Bad Times a couple of years ago I had to sell off/give away about a third of my collection. Most of the rest went into a mouldy garage where they have sat (probably getting very rusty) ever since. Thus, I'm not sure what I still have, so I have, er, about a hundred toys missing in action!
