I can't do a top 5 in either, but Spychanger Prowl (Prowl 1 is superior to Prowl 2), and Beast Hunters delux Prowl are fantastuc figures.

The Go-Bots/Spychangers are one of my all time favourite sub-groups.
Bubbling under: Double-Clutch. And only because he tends to fall over a lot in robot mode.
Joint 1st Place: Blowout, Firecracker, High Beam, Gearhead, and Motormouth.
Back in 1995 when they first came out, the Go-Bots were the first Transformers I ever bought "in the know" as I had recently joined the TMUK fanclub and knew of them via the Informer newsletter.

Week 112: G2 Gobots/Spychangers 5) MirageI have reservations over the initial sets of GoBots. First there's the whole Decepticon cars thing which I have a problem with. Then the second wave started reusing names/characters but didn't get the colours right! The Spychanger Mirage is much closer the original 1984 Mirage than the Gobot version but it could still do with another go to get the colours dead on. 4) FirecrackerSimilarly Firecracker is so very nearly Sideswipe. Change the yellow for black, which makes his Gearhead gangmould black then paint the head black and you're there. So so close. 3) Universe IronhideA diaclone Ironhide homage or a failed attempt at the Trailbreaker name? Either waythis is pretty good and just needs a better coloured head. 2) Spychanger ScourgeRalph is correct. This toy is the business. A really successful downsizing of the larger Scourge toy which, inexplicably for such an important character, was a US store exclusive and never came out in the UK! Would be num,ber one but for.... 1) Spychanger OptimusI like the Scourge repaint as Optimus better! Not perfect, I'd prefer grey/silver/black for white but pretty damm good. Must get the Movie repaint!

Ah, sorry. I misread your post and thought you meant that diddy Scourge did not come out here.

So, first Friday of the month, no need for a clue cos it's going to be a year?
Not this week. Oh no.
Without me adding any further information would anyone like to tell me what this week's subject is?

I think finding a reason for me to break the pattern might help you out......

Post by Benn on Jul 2, 2015 18:42:43 GMT
Wow, I suck at this. I have never guessed one of these clues right!
Minibots. Have we done minibots?
<edit> ah, yup, we have...

Post by Philip Ayres on Jul 2, 2015 18:49:52 GMT
Minibots was, iirc, the one than got the most votes.
But well done for checking the list, like I said there's a clue there that may illuminate what you're all missing.
And there is a reason for doing This Subject This Week and although there's a leap between them it's not a big one

Of course, as the one person who already knows the pattern it is easier to spot for you than it is for us trying to pick it out of the "noise". :-)
That said, I'll take a couple of swings at it. I'm going to let my intuition land on things:-
Monster Alt Modes ( Taking from last week being Beast Hunters) or Predacons
But other than that I'm not seeing anything to tell me what the unknown thing is that would give me a clue to the other unknown thing...

As it appears to be Friday I'll put you out your misery early! Week 113: Lost Light Crew MembersHaving reached week 113 we really had to do something James Roberts related didn't we? I did think of Wreckers, but they've been written by others so it really needed to be something MTMTE related. So your top 5 favourite Transformer toys who are members of the Lost Light's crew please! See tfwiki.net/wiki/Lost_Light#Crew for a list of Lost Light crew members though not all have a toy obviously! Clue explanations later!

Without me adding any further information would anyone like to tell me what this week's subject is? Just from this you could have got that this week was week 113, which should have pointed you to it being something James Roberts related tfwiki.net/wiki/113_%28disambiguation%29Again pointing you to notice this week was week 113. Missing - Lost Illuminate - Light I think you lot need some help this week. I really did think it was quite simple to guess! I did ask someone to help youMinibots was, iirc, the one than got the most votes. But well done for checking the list, like I said there's a clue there that may illuminate what you're all missing. And there is a reason for doing This Subject This Week and although there's a leap between them it's not a big onenot a big one - Quantum leap - Jump what the Lost Light does Let's make this really easy: last week was WEEK 112 Last week's post or a look at the list on page 1 tells you this.... I expected Ian not to get this but the rest of you..... Mainly as above. Ian has famously not read MTMTE One of Ralph's suggestions will be an acceptable entry in tomorrow's top 5 lists. Rodimus is the Captain of the Lost Light so is a voting choice for Lost Light Crew Members!

Week 113: Lost Light Crew Members Running this off the original toys it's quite easy: look at my Diaclone and Headmasters lists and put them together. So honourable mentions to Ratchet, Red Alert, Trailbreaker & Sunstreaker5) HoistLesson 1 in how to do a remould. I never knew he and Trailbreaker were the same toy till years later. Shooting fist or weapons and the towing gimmick, so woefully translated to the Generations version. 4) Infernolargest Autobot car, decent robot, decent arm articulastion, missile fists, fists that can hold weapons, an extending ladder and a rotating turntable. TOP toy. Always annoyed me he wasn't in the comics until much much later. 3) HighbrowFabulous Helicopter, again good for having the figure in the cockpit. 2) Ultra MagnusOptimus Prime's robot was fab to start with. Give it a new coat of paint and a car transporter trailer he can use to tow other Autobot cars on - fab. Then have him combine with the trailer to form a larger robot? Superb! Yes the body is a brick but it stands up ok and the arm articulation is fabulous better than some of his imeadiate succesors in the cab/trailer combining stakes. The last gasp of Diaclone in the Transformers line. 1) Fortress MaximusThe biggest and one of the best TFs EVER. 3 superb modes. Best base and city mode. It's such a fabulous toy. But the thing is here.... although those are my favourite toys of Lost Light crew members some of them, Inferno and Highbrow especially, haven't had huge parts in the series. So more lists to follow...
