The All Purprose Transformer Parts ID Thread!

[Philip Ayres]

For all your TF parts & weapons ID needs!

We were looking for this resource a while back !

Transformer Parts Guide

For whole toys see Identify the Transformer tmukhub.proboards.com/thread/2988/identify-transformer

[Philip Ayres]

Help me out.

As I mention elsewhere I've won a lot of Micronauts which as you can see by the 2nd photo has some TF bits in

I can identify

Sludge's Gun and Sword
2 x Metroplex Shoulder Cannons
At least 3 black G1 Plane hands
A Prowl Shoulder cannon - already have one so hopefully it's a match !

anything else in there anyone recognises ? Some of the silver weapons look promising !

There's also 2 action force guns and a SW Survival Kit belt.

[Dark Stranger]

Might be a Skids gun in there too Phil, maybe it's Shrapnel's gun.

[Philip Ayres]

Wanna know what we got ?

Sludge's Gun and Sword
Sludge rocket pod and 3 missiles
2 x Metroplex Shoulder Cannons
Both of Metroplex: Scamper's arms and a small Metroplex gun
A Metroples Tank Turret & Shoulder attenae
1 Metroplex Missile
3 black G1 Plane hands (2 x left, 1 x Right)
1 G1 plane landing gear
2 x Prowl Shoulder cannons - non functional - and 3 missiles in various states of chrome decay
1 Prowl gun - missing tip.
Red Alert's Gun, Cannon (shoulder mount broken, non functional) and 3 missiles
1 Sharpnel Gun (good spot DS)
1 Thrust Short Missile

Not a bad haul. Anything anyone needs from there ?

[grahamthomson]

May I reserve a Metroplex missile, please?

I have the Italian Metroplex who comes with weird rubber ended safety missiles.

I have been using Overlord's missiles for Metroplex, but this leaves Overlord with no missiles, and should they ever meet in the bedroom for a galaxy shattering battle I want them both to be fully equipped.

[The Doctor]

2 x Metroplex Shoulder Cannons
Both of Metroplex: Scamper's arms and a small Metroplex gun
A Metroples Tank Turret & Shoulder attenae

I could use them to help rebuild my olde Metroplex.

[Dark Stranger]

Are you selling those bits Phil? I'd be interested in the Sludge launcher / missiles and the other Metroplex bits. My 'Plex is rather paling in accessories compared to Scorponok.

[Philip Ayres]

G: the Metroples missile is one of the pieces I don't think I have.
R: Ditto the small gun. can you use a red six gun body and a knee cap too ?

Dark Stranger: Address please. You can have them.

[Philip Ayres]

While we're on the sdubject I also have

A Bruticus L foot
A Menasor R foot
A Superion chestplate
An Onslaught chestplate
A Defensor R chestplate
2 x Vortex Tailguns (green - RID Version ?)
4 x Armada Demolishor Missiles
An Energon Hotshot missile launcher and Missile
A launcher for Prowl's left shoulder (his left which is on the right as you look at it) and missile
A Thrust wing. If the point is at the top the wing extends on your right

Anyone in need ? Answer before the weekend or they go on the altar

I could use the body but am fine for knee caps, thanks.

I've typed up a list of extra accessories that I've accumulated during my Toy-fu days (and before, come to that). It will be available once it's hosted, but in the meantime I've got a few bits and bobs that I haven't been able to identify. Does anybody know what these belong to?



-Nick

EDIT: What's that on the corner of my space bar? Time to get the fine scrubber out!

[Bogatan]

The second one down is from the rescue force car.

Andy

[blueshift]

The Rescue Force guys came with both silver and red accessories. I believe the silver ones are the harder to find ones.

This is a very good site for identifying random parts: www.transformerland.com/identify-transformers.html


Green missile - Don't recognise it. Non-TF?
Silver gun - Rescue Force gun, as Andy said
Black Gun - Sandstorm's rifle
White gun - Don't regognise it, my gut instinct says star wars
Silver thing - Can't seem to place it, my instinct would be it is from a MASK toy
Fist - Don't recognise it. Non-TF?

[kayevcee]

It IS Sandstorm's gun! I've never seen an armed Sandstorm up close (at least, that I can bring to mind right now) so I didn't recognise it. Good man!

I think the green missile up top may be from MASK. Doubt it with the silver thing though- I don't remember MASK being big on vac metallised plastic.

-Nick

[blueshift]

Most MASK vehicles had some vac metal on them, though I've looked through some sites and can't recognise that part anywhere.

[Bogatan]

I've got a bunch of chrome parts in a similar style. Never worked out what most of them are but they must have been fairly common in the 80's because they turn up in almost any random 80's toybox I find at car boot sales.

Andy

Could the fist be from some kind of diaclone or Grandstand toy?

[blueshift]

Well, that chrome part does look like it is supposed to be missiles, rather than a random car part. Though maybe I see missiles everywhere.

Post up what you have but can't identify Bogatan, we can have an ID thread! :v

[Deleted]

We've already guessed that these are parts from 80's toys (or maybe even early 90's toys) and so I suggest we post a list of 80's and 90's toylines that we can remember that were big on guns and space-age equipment/weaponry. That way we can try and search up as many websites that deal with those specific toylines and then identify them.

So far I think we've mentioned Star Wars, Star Trek, Transformers and MASK but what about Masters of the Universe and, at a stretch, Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors (which briefly had their own toyline)?

[blueshift]

MOTU never really went for chromed parts or missiles though.

I'm thinking the green missile is from something mid-late 90s or even 00's, to be honest. Like Action Man ATOM? Batman? Something big, chunky and colourful with a big missile launcher.

[Gav]

They are all from my fanfic character ONSLAUGHTIMUS MAXI-BYTE.

You people really have no idea about the TF Universe...

I now want to see a character made up from all the odd accessories lying about :v

[Gav]

Gasp, you've called my bluff!

*runs*

[Nigel]

The white gun looks not unlike a Spychanger's gun. Might it be from an oversized knock-off? The chrome piece looks to me a like an internal part - the "axle" section fitting inside a toy with the missiles on either side.

[Deleted]

One of them could be from a TMNT line. Here's a turtles toy archive site that may be of some use.

[Philip Ayres]

I'm currently reviwing Sinnertwin, who has one of my favourite Transformer handguns. I love his little dual barrelled gun with one barrel on top of another. I think it's only real competitor in my affections in the Transformers weapons arsenal is Grimlock's double barreled gun.

So what are your favourite Transformer handguns? It's got to be a gun capable of being held by the toy it same with.

[Bogatan]

I always liked Powerflash's red rifle. Actually quite a few of the actionmaster guns now that I think about it.

Andy

[Benn]

Jazz's rifle, and Prowl's Acid Pellet thingy have always been pretty iconic to me. And Soundwave's gun.

Less well known? Gunrunner and Cloudburst's pistol things look nice. As do Caliburst, Spoilsport and CHUG Nightstick.

[Andy Turnbull]

Prowl/Bluestreak/Smokescreen's gun - along with Prime's rifle and Soundwave's gun are the iconic weapons for me.

Andy

[Deleted]

Movie Brawn's guns are great, I like how they are integrated seem-lessly into the alt mode and also can be detached as well , but they sort of remind me of Lara Croft, Tomb Raider guns lol www.tfu.info/2010/Autobot/Brawn/brawn.htm

[grahamthomson]

Definitely Soundwave's weapons. At the time I loved how they were batteries that transformed into weapons.

I also had a soft spot for the Axelerators with their shiny chrome engine blocks becoming weapons.

Prior to Beast Wars, were there any other Transformers apart from the above that had parts of their alternate mode become weapons?
