I take it back I own more of this than I thought. Sadly too few of the more uniquely coloured ones.
Rook and Tapout
Ransack and Smokescreen
Ultra Magnus and Treadshot
Swerve
All the micromaster combiners
I really do need to get Whirl and so many of the madly coloured Beast ear toys. And Costco Prime.

I have Inferno and Ratchet, but wasn't really buying TF stuff around the time as Armada and Energon had killed my interest in the line.

I was interested in the line at the time but as it did not hit UK retail I passed on it. There's some fine madness in there.

Not sure if I had any of the others though.

You have the Optimus repaint of the Scourge Spychanger don't you?
The Whirl is *very* nice but it
A) should have had the missile posts remoulded as minicon posts and
B) should have come with Emergency Minicon Prowl because of the FOUR toys packed with Minicons (Whirl, Fireflight, Stockade & Magna Stampede) he's the only one capable of holding him.
I'd have also taken the oppotunity to retool Soundwave's fists to 5mm standard.

Thus far nobody has admited to owning Universe Silverbolt. This is a good thing.

You have the Optimus repaint of the Scourge Spychanger don't you? Sadly not. It is a lovely looking toy but I never managed to track one down. Mind you, if I had it and the Scourge would probably have fought each other incessantly from Scourge's jealously. I suspect two of those things were impossible for budgetary reason - I get the impression that Universe 1.0 was a very low budget line. Packing him with Minicon Prowl would have been sensible though I wholeheartedly agree. Karl |

Universe Silverbolt is the one I probably most want. If it had been available in the UK I would have got it and most of its brethren, but it was in "Armada has killed my interest" period amongst other things and I just never got around to importing them.

Ah but Whirl's got new tooling on him anyway for the missiles & launchers.

Karl Yeah the universe brand has been used for some of the most cheap and often pointless sub lines going, especially once it got to the random repacking of Cybertron and Energon toys. |

Razorclaw is pretty much a souped up Silverbolt. Forgot to mention that I have all the Universe Spychangers too. I am sure Phil isn't surprised  . |

Thus far nobody has admited to owning Universe Silverbolt. This is a good thing. I almost bought a MOSC one at AA this year, but Universe Primal zapped the last of my toy budget. Used to have the original BW Silverbolt and I love the mad Universe colours. I now remember I had the Optimus repaint of Spychanger Scourge, though it seems to be lost to me, alas. -Ralph |

Razorclaw is pretty much a souped up Silverbolt. There's conjecture that Tigerhawk, who Razorclaw is a recolour of, was originally meant to be a Transmetal II Silverbolt. Forgot to mention that I have all the Universe Spychangers too. I am sure Phil isn't surprised . Not in the slightest. |

For some reason I thought that they were the missiles and launchers from the Machine Wars version. That does make it look more like an oversight that they didn't modify it to add Mini-con hardpoints.

Rotorstorm's launchers are built to use the Turbomaster Missiles. Sandstorm has neutered launchers and no missiles. Whirl has new longer missiles, cast in plastic not used elsewhere on the toy and modified working launchers that take the + shape of the tail and not the original Turbomaster missiles.

I own Devastator and the Sunstorm / Perceptor set.
I want Depth Charge, Frostbite and Silverbolt (and may be tempted by Razorclaw).
I also have the Superion micromasters but don't remember them being on Universe cards. Were they also released on white, Cybertron-alike cards?

Yeah. The Micromasters were Universe branded in the US but in Europe thet were Energron or Cybertron depending when the series was released.

That was one I thought it might had been - but few had similar colours. Thank you Andrew!
