Thursday Tease: Roger is our man. Roger Moore was Bond Binary BONDing = Headmasters No, we did Headmasters in Week 25, but, like James Bond, Roger is a national hero.

But I thought that was the first clue.
I am so confused.

5) Armada MiniconTinsy tiny Miicon. Shame it's not available in a nice colour set. Swap the grey for purple and the red for blue, see bellow, and you'd be laughing. 4) 1985The original finds itself some way down the list this week..... 3) Classics..... beaten by his improved articulation version. 2) G2Best looking Decepticon jet. Love this colour set. Unlike G2 Starscream, who is similar to the original, you could use this as a different Decepticon warrior. 1) TFCC G2And the classics toy go repainted in these colours. Seriously regret selling mine.

The Kaptain raises the possibility that Ralph may not have heard of Roger Ramjet due to the 80s kids program it was shown in not being broadcast in Scotland.

I've never seen it!
I only know the name in passing. Certainly not anything I would have connected with being 'our man' or 'a national hero'. sorry!

If you know the theme song you'll get the clues.
'Roger Ramjet he's our man, the hero of our nation.'

Now the pregnancy is out the way, I've got time to do the Top 5 this week.
5. Platinum Reissue. Really needs the stickers applied quickly before you throw up at how plain and cheap it looks.
4. Masterpiece Ramjet. Haven't had a shot of one yet but it looks good. I don't care for the coneheads so I'm certainly not shipping out almost £200 for one of these.
3. ROTF Ramjet. Rubbish mold saved by the better colour scheme. It's a really nice Ramjet actually.
2. Armada Minicon. He can sit on his little bench, he can travel in his little lift, he cant sit on the turret and make things move. Really great toy with TidalWave. Strange that Energon Tidal Wave has a bonkers colour scheme but Ramjet was just grey.
1. Classics. Great toy but now that a see the TFCC G2 version I want that.

The four I am familiar with: 4. Cybertron - nice colour scheme on an already nice Minicon 3. TFCC 2016 Incentive figure - the neo-Armada Starscream mould is a nice one, and this is a nice redeco 2. Classics - strong memory of being surprised at how much I liked this so soon after being disappointed with Starscream 1. TFCC G2 - just glorious For 5 I'm going to put the redeco of Cybertron Legends class Starscream. -Jim

Week 179: LeaderYour top 5 Leader size toys please. The Leader size was introduced in the original RID Line for Optimus Prime & Ultra Magnus, used during Energon & Cybertron before effectively becoming owned by the Movie lines. However recently there's been a fair few Generations leaders. As I like a lot of the movie leaders this is quite a tough one. Blaster misses out, its a lot of fun but I just don't.... I'm underwhelmed by it and I sort of dislike Soundwave for being too Blastery. Honourable mentions - RID Magnus, Cybertron Prime and CW Jetfire chrome and all. Movie Starscream. 5. Energon Prime - I don't care what you all think its a good toy. 4. Nightwatch Prime - Im a fan of the original movie Prime mould, its a fun toy rubber wheels, loads of articulation, good transformation. 3. RID Prime - specifically Crystal Convoy. 2. ROTF Prime - specifically the Jetwing version (okay technically might not be leader class by this point) transformation is only really difficult first time. Afterwards its just about lining everything up. 1. Legends Ginrai - I cant quite explain how the modifications to PMOP make this toy such fun, but they do. Colours really pop as well. 5. eh.. 4. CW 3. Universe legend 2. Generations 1. Original 5. Dispensor 4. Tigertron 3. Waspinator 2. Jazz 1. Hound Week 182: FlipchangersYour top 5 Flipchanger toys please! 5. Insecticon 4. Megaplex 3. Waspinator 2. Packrat 1. Fractyl 5. er Year of the goat 4. Botcon 3. MP 2. Transformers - Came with my 1995 mail order Soundwave. Fantastic little chap. 1. BM Buzzsaw - Easy top place, one of my all time favourite moulds. Its got a spring for an arm and wings for legs. Joy. Human Alliance is probably good but as Ive never seen one 5. DOTM - its okay 4. 2007 legend - pretty good little mould 3. Movie 2007 deluxe 2. Micromaster 1. TFSS - Wasnt overly impressed by BH Prowl, but it somehow works as Baricade.
