Argh. Soundwave was 1984. Shockwave for 1985 then.

I have an excel model which keeps track of what subjects we've had, and are going to have, and who's voted. Writing the formulae to give the not votes for a specific person and everyone's overall voted was trivial.
My desk is now covered in Minibots have got the box out the cupboard. I desperately need TFC#12!
Never spotted that TFC#12 BB and Encore #10 BB were different.
Can I find G2 Minibots on eBay?

Piglet is loving my small minibot collection. They've been busy fighting Menasor, apparently aided by Mary Poppins!

Several addresses and telephone numbers! That's about it.
I've got 2 forum spreadsheets: one for the top 5s, which has the BIG list for the TF one,the smaller old toys top 5 list, the *new* one starting soon and both 2013 & 2014 advents in it.
There's another spreadsheet for the Toys forum for a job I started and haven't yet finished. I was trying to produce an index of all the threads that were Masterpiece related....

Don't badmouth Hubcap now! We might have a problem... I agree with Matt. Of all the colours they could have done Hubcap in they choose the one that Cliffjumper, his mold anticendant, had been miscoloured in and one that, with the loss of Cliffjumper's spoiler, makes him look even more like Bumblebee. Any colour but yellow! The intended white would have been fab! See tfwiki.net/wiki/Hubcap_(G1)#Notes with Yellow Tailgate And THEN to complicate things when he gets released in G2 he gets painted red just like Cliffjumper. And as for the face.... It looks dreadful in orange

The fact that Hubcap looked a lot like Bumblebee is a key reason that I loved the toy. Didn't get Bumblebee for ages!

With due respect, week 39 should not be read as missing. It should be read as an abstention due to the dubious legality of the subject matter. Week 31 I am not sure why I have missed mind you, other than the fact that I wasn't buying TFs during that period. I shall have to go back and see if I have a view on that too catch up.

Oh man, favourite minibots...
1) Cosmos. No question. So distinctive. So cool. 2) Warpath. I didn't have Blitzwing so Warpath was my first tank TF. It also helped that his boxart was popular for merchandise at the time. 3) Powerglide. Got him on holiday in Spain. He's also distinctive and has much more mobility in his arms than most minis. 4) Outback. The only minibot with an external weapon, and one I got just after Distant Thunder came out. Yeah. 5) eHobby Huffer. The most evil minibot in the universe.

Could have sworn I had caught up with 85, but can't find it. Pretty much the toys I had/wanted in 85 rather than the best of the year (Devvy is a 1990 toy to me and I wasnt aware of Shockwave and others at the time) 5. Twintwist 4. Topspin - I had so much fun with the pair of these over the years. 3. Jetfire - It's Jetfire 2. Grimlock - It's Grimlock 1. Sludge - Favourite Dinobot
Minibots
5.Bumblejumper I know its the weakest of the minibot mini range of yellow cars but it was my first introduction to the wider world of Transformers and I still find the head sculpt to be excellent. 4. Cosmos- fun 3. Warpath - More fun 2. Bumblebee was my favourite Transformer in the 80s so my excitement at the Woolworths reissue of Bumblebee was extreme and I wasn't let down. Great little toy. 1. Gears - My first minibot, well proportioned fun transform and full of personality.

I feel quite privileged as a noob to be included in, and half way up, a posting table. I'm going to have to go back to the start and fill gaps.

Oh and by the way: Thursday Tease: The record for number of votes in one week stands at 12 (Week 1: 1984 Toys) I think there's a real chance we'll get close to or even pass that this week given some of the subjects have come up in recent weeks here. 14 so far. Minibots is our new fave toy topic. And to celebrate I'll work out at the end of the week collectively which Minibots we like best And it's a Martin voting friendly week too! The coming to pass of both of these prediction I think shows I know my audience :-)

Quick question while I ponder - for the "toys released in 19xx" weeks, is that UK releases, or anywhere?
