NO! They're packed in randomly. Blueshift is correct. Minispies and decoys were smaller figures that were packed in. They count! -Ralph

This would include the Ravage packed in with the deluxe Generations Hound that Ralph regrets moving on.
Also WST Ravage packed in with WST Optimus Prime, which I still have somewhere...

Are we talking about the TOYs that had pack-ins. Or Toys with PACK-INs (ie the focus is we are rating the pack-ins) or TOYS WITH PACK-INS (ie the whole package)?

Week 209: Toys with a smaller figure pack inThat's the precise wording I've had down for this week for a few months so you see why I ummed and ahhed at Jim's initial suggestion because I didn't specify if the included figure transformed or not! So I'm guessing that includes Metroplex, Trypticon & Metrotitan Headmasters Targetmasters Powermasters Brainmasters Breast Force Micromaster Base Robots Armada Human Alliance Power Core The initial 12 Generations Legends and probably a whole pile of others including odd one offs! This seems almost impossibly broad (there was another one a few weeks ago that I thought about for longer than I care to admit and then didn't even post anything), but I'll have a go by limiting myself to childhood toys and then some honourable mentions... 5. Crosshairs - I literally remember the exact shopping trip, as my Grandma got fed up with me umming and arring between him and Sureshot (Pointblank did not get a look-in) in the Nottingham Co-op department store. The design had such a large cockpit it always felt like it really should be usable (I regarded Headmasters with envious eyes). I look forward to a new one from Kup. 4. Krok - first Action Master, which is a great thing in itself but he also looks amazing. 3. Slapdash - when I first heard about Powermasters I got it into my head that they automatically transformed when the engine slotted in, Jumpstarter-style. So that was a slightly embarrassing disappointment. But this is still a great figure, ironically with an interesting transformation. 2. Double Dealer - totally upstaged PMOP on Christmas morning. Two figures, one an animal thing, and a remarkably effective triple changer for the time plus an interesting gimmick/story. 1. Quickmix - I can hardly explain this, he must have just caught me at a sensitive moment or something as he's a long time favourite. Shame only Scoop got the Generations treatment, as he is the least visually interesting of the three Autobot double Targetmasters. Honourable mentions: Armada Cyclonus - my first Armada toy, I think my first imported Transformer, and he's also just brilliant United Stepper - as if that Jazz mould weren't handsome enough TR Triggerhappy - definitely not a short-memory thing, an actual great Plus probably far too many others to mention. -Jim

Week 210: ScattorshotYour top 5 Scattorshot/Scattershot toys please 5. G1 - was always the Technobot that appealed least to me 4. Movie - not a bad little mould, and it was nice to see such a homage 3. Cybertron - I always liked the look of this, and the appeal was enhanced by enjoying the cartoon portrayal Scatt[e/o]rshots I have experience of: 2. UW - I don't have experience of the CW versions; but this is the only one with the twin guns anyway, right? 1. Cybertron Defense - easily the most fun on this list -Jim
