I do love them but they don't meet the minimum count to do a Top 5 But are there any Japanese recolours? -Ralph No, never been released there or repainted anywhere. There was a planned Halloween Horrorcon Soundwave repaint but it never happened :-(

Have I read correctly? Are there UW toys that Phil DOESN'T HAVE? I thought Phil had had to have ALL the combiners! I am shocked! Shocked! -Ralph

You even bought the single release of Scattershot twice! Twice! I am sad for you now. -Ralph

Does Stormjet count?

Two wins out of three for the Pirrie Bros though.
Does Stormjet count is an interesting question: It's the BM Jetstorm toy repaints and the name has just been tweaked slightly Jet Storm -> Storm Jet .... But no I don't think it does.

Jetstorm. There were TWO Jetstorm colour changing cars in 93, an Autobot in the US and a Decepticon in Europe*. Both had water cannons as did the BW Predacon Jetstorm. Jetstorm was one of the first Minicons, part of the Star Saber, and has recently been a Minicon again in RiD2015
* The colour changing cars are very odd. In Europe we got four Autobots and four Decepticons as part of the late G1 line. In the US they got 2 Autobots and 2 Decepticons as part of G2, all four of which were repaints of the European colour change Autobots!

I looked through all of the minicon madness last night and couldn't see anything I thought was related to water cannons. Jetstorm. Coh.

Who, the bloody hell, is Jetstorm?

Post by Philip Ayres on Jun 19, 2017 21:50:32 GMT
Just a name, attached to multiple characters who are on the whole nobody!
The Besst Machines jet is the most famous, and you might recognise the Armada and RID Minicons

5) Europe Autobot Jetstorm4) US Decepticon JetstormDidn't buy any of the colour changing cars at the time: you can insert my usual Decepticon Cars rant here, but 8 cars with the same gimmick on the shelves at once was possibly not a great move from Hasbro Europe. However the designs are decent. 3) Beast Machines VehiconShelf warmed, not quite as badly as it's case mate, but a very decent toy that's had several decent repaints. 2) "Movie" JetstormCybertron Jetfire repainted. Looks fab. 1) Beast WarsOne of the first BW toys I bought. Water cannon, concealed missile launchers that fly forward on a spring. Fab. Think mine has got damaged, need to check

Yes it is.
Colour change vehicles was 8 cars, all year long.
CW was 4 vehicles, changing approximately every 3/4 months with a gimmick that builds into something bigger

I see no difference between the two lines when it comes to the charge of: same thing over and over. Your lust for combiners blinds you!

The limbs were all sufficiently different. Combiner Wars was pretty well done (despite my recent Hound disappointment...).
