Week 216: SCF, Mega SCF and Heroes of CybertronYour Top 5 SCF, Mega SCF and Heroes of Cybertron. SCF was the Japanese little rubber statues line. Heroes of Cybertron is it's western version. Mega SCF is it's short lived better articulated version, attempting to cash in on the Gundam figures of the same size. See tfwiki.net/wiki/Heroes_of_Cybertron for help.

Thursday Tease: This week most of us, bar Op and a few big others, have to be statues...... Statues should have been enough to give most of you a clues. The bar op and a few big others refers to the mega SCFs A quote from the Bowie song Heroes So Jim sort of got it straight away. But I was feeling mischievous and wanted the whole answer so..... I think a furthe clue is necessary: This week's subject is also very nearly a railway. To which Jim said correctly The French railway system is SNCF

I don't have any now. Never had any HOC but had loads of the Japanese PVC's. They were fed to Toy-Fu. I had all the Mega SCF's but seem to have lost them between moves. I loved the Prime and Megatron.

Remember that time in The Fandom when we all went absolutely nuts for these ranges. It was the only way we would ever get animation model/comic versions of the robot modes 80's characters! Heck, the only 'proper' updates we would ever get!
A different time.

I recall going radio for the Star Saber/Victory Leo. Then a couple of years later the Robotmasters version came out and that transformed as well as combined.

Red Alert.

<checks list>
No Red Alert isn't involved in this week's subject.
As a Bonus Clue Optimus Prime isn't either, though you can make an argument that one Optimus Prime should be.

Skids is also not a possibility for this week, three times over.
I think Burns might get this.....

Anyway where's Jim with his guess this week? I am all over the place this week, didn't even realize it was Thursday until about midday... Is it something like toys which are somehow conspicuous in their absence? Toys of characters with no fiction? -Jim

Post by Philip Ayres on Jun 29, 2017 21:48:13 GMT
Absence is a VERY good word.
A clue: All the Headmasters are candidates this week. And the Pretenders.
But not all the Targetmasters. And all bar one of the Power Masters.

I can see that all Headmasters, most Targetmasters, all Pretenders and all but one Powermaster are new characters but I am not managing to connect this up with the original clue...

"Toys of characters who weren't in seasons one and two of the cartoon" sounds a bit unlikely, but it's all I've got and it's past my bedtime!
