Rare finds in my ATTIC

[Deleted]

Hello all i was cleaning up my moms attic and i found these beauties,

a blue cliffjumper that was only released in holland the date says 1980-1984 takara / Hasbro so i think its a diaclone of some sort


i've also found a KO metroplex that has extra pieces so you could make it look like a fotress maximus

Ooooo, that blue Cliffjumper is nice.

There is a Blue Cliffjumper from Microchange - see www.microforever.com/MC04MiniCAR.htm - which is the line the Minibots come from. Interestingly yours does have a Autobot symbol on it. I'll do some digging and see if there's any history of Blue Joustra Cliffjumpers.

I'd seen the Metrotitan KO before, the green sphere in the chest is very familiar, but I've never seem the Fort Max add ons before!

Have a look at the pre Transformers thread for more on the origins of Transformers in other lines but especially the links in the post linked bellow which looks at early Euro TFs

Here we go, he is a legitimate Dutch TF variant:

Very nice, I have part of Power Commander (header ha;f the torso and one arm), its nice to have a name to put to it rather than Metrotitan KO. I dont think I have ever seen a complete one with all its bits and packaging.

Whats going on in the last photo? Did it come with a head piece to make it look more like Fortmax?

The chrome weapons look ace.

Thanks so much all!!!

Bogatan , Yes it seems to have some fortress maximus pieces, like the head piece you can just put over its head.

OMGGGGGGGGGG i've just found the red version aswell but with a broken legg:(

This old article, also in the thread linked above, is pretty certain the blue Cliffjumper is Mexican in origin

Red Cliffjumpers aren't hard to get hold of at all, it's the default version. Red Bumblebees however....

broken how? Stick a photo up. Someone might have a junker of the broken part that it can be replaced with. I seem to recall Cliffjumper isn't too hard to take apart

[Andy Turnbull]

I think he means a Red Power Commander.

No i ment a red cliffjumper with 1 legg missing but it turns out it is a red bumblebee.

That KO Metrotitan was CARDED? WHAaaaaaaaaaaaaa?

Well Yeah , i remeber buying it in a little toy shop in spain Salou , i was 7 or 8 years old at the time and i screamed my ass of to get this guy but i never knew it was metroplex till about a week ago when i found it again.Well knock offs at that time had no value whatsoever the paper box was probably more expensive to create then the toy.

Funny Story thought , i didn't get the toy right away i had to safe up for it during the holiday , since we didn't have alot of money to spend (single mom and all) i started declining soda's and instead took water ,i would pass on ice creams and candy untill i calculated that i saved up enough by passing on the good stuff to buy metroplex. After 5 days i got it , played withit for 5 min and thought it sucked and i've never touched it again.

I still have that red Bumblebee. I think I have four different versions of that toy by now.
