Oh lord.
Have owned:
The Transformers.
Own:
Commemorative Reissue
Classics
Masterpiece
Titanium
Generations deluxe (WfC body)
Robot Heroes
Cybertron legend
Animated
Actually, not as many as I had thought... They must just seem more when I put 'em together. The one big missing one from my collection is the Armada one, whom I saw once, years after Armada had finished in a Toymaster in Coalville. Went back for him a couple of weeks later and he was gone. Boo!
The new CW one will probably end up in my possession at some point...

The one big missing one from my collection is the Armada one, whom I saw once, years after Armada had finished in a Toymaster in Coalville. Went back for him a couple of weeks later and he was gone. Boo! There are some real oddities to Armada Voyager distribution: I saw Overload ONCE in the UK, in the massive Woolworths sale, yet Burns & The Kaptain tell me he shelf warmed on Scottish Asda shelves. I saw loads of Skywarp, almost all of which were in the Entertainer. Coalville, Leicestershire? Home of Palitoy! |

That's the place!
We had Overload in Woolworths in Swadlincote, Derbyshire for an age, too. He did finally disappear before the sales, though.

Skywarp is my favourite of the three original planes. The black/purple deco rocks.
G1 original spruced up with the help of repro labels and some accessories from ToyFu.
Armada Maxcon
Generations T30
Hasbro Masterpiece
MP11-SW
I haven't come across the Legends one at a decent price yet (people speak of Sainsbury's selling them for £6.66, but my local shops only stock RiD), and two Masterpieces is just greedy so the Hasbro one is on the verge of getting moved on. It's still MISB so it's headed slowly toward ebay.

This week:
How many toys called Cheetor do you own?

Post by Shockprowl on Aug 9, 2015 23:39:37 GMT
Oooh curve-ball. Wasn't expecting Cheetor.
Just one, the first one obtained 2nd hand off an old member of this cyber community along with a ton of other Beast Wars figures which I still have and enjoy. Childrens enjoy them too.

Oh, the Beast Wars Bumblebee analogue. Who I therefore initially hated due to being more annoying than his G1 counterpart ever was. And more like Hot Rod. Which continued to annoy me until the Bayverse came along. Now I love Cheetor and his subtle ways.
Anyway, I have but a couple:
10th Anniversary Re-Issue
Universe Night Slash
The latter being one that I'd been waiting for to get for a decent price on eBay for years. And now it's mine. Another Grail achieved.

How many toys called Cheetor do you own? OWN 1) Beast Wars 10th anniversary2) Transmetal3) Transmetal 24) Night Slash5) Armada6) Universe Night SlashHave Owned 1) Original - Green Eyes2) Fox Kids3) Fox Kids Transmetal4) Beast Machines Mega5) Beast Machines Supreme6) Universe 2Equal this week. There's some very bad stuff in the lower half there. The original only went because it was bettered, the Fox Kids was OK and the FK Transmetal was..... "interestingly coloured". But those bottom 3 are all very poor toys. I once again repeat my plee for a traditionally yellow Night Slash Cheetor with green light piping. Oooh curve-ball. Wasn't expecting Cheetor. There aren't that many modern (post G1) first use names that have spawened enough versions to make this worth doing. Cheetor and Primal, although that's a variation on Prime. I count 6 Waspinators, 6 Rhinox, 6 Rattrap, 4(?) Tarantulas .... Blackarachnia somehow has 8 which makes her the closest to a possible prospect for this feature. I'm stretched to think of any others apart from that! I was thinking Barricade, as in the Movie toy, but there's a G1 Barricade so that name doesn't count as a modern one! Oh, the Beast Wars Bumblebee analogue. Who I therefore initially hated due to being more annoying than his G1 counterpart ever was. And more like Hot Rod. Which continued to annoy me until the Bayverse came along. Now I love Cheetor and his subtle ways. He is the Hot Rod/BB substitute which continues to be used in RID (Sideburn) and the Unicron Trilogy (Hot Shot) before BB makes a comeback in Classics and the Movie. I always thought it odd there wasn't a Beast Wars BB but they shot their load too early on that one by making a yellow Waspinator as Buzzsaw. Buzzsaw, with the purple swapped for yellow or Black would be near perfect as BB. |

Just two for me: original & Beast Machines Mega. Which looks absolutely marvellous until you try to do anything with it. I can get mine to stand unaided, but it's quite a task.
Airazor and Cheetor are the only two Armada Autobots I don't have.

4) Robotmasters
5) Commemorative Series
6) Encore
7) Classics/Generations
8) Henkei

12) Masterpiece (original design)
13) Masterpiece (updated design)
14) EZ Collection
15) Generations Legions
16) Generations Legends
17) Generations Leader
Obviously you can make a G1 set using combinations of 1, 2, 6 & 7. And yeah OK *technically* the third part of 17 isn't out yet but ....

Primus wept, you did this just to taunt me, didn't you? You know of my frustrations in completing these sets! (Unless you weren't paying full attention to everything I typed. Which I find impossible to believe... ;-) )
But, anyway, setting aside my frustrated ego, there is just the one for me:
Generations Legends.
Although these see-attack jets have yet to meet - I still haven't unpacked Starscream. But he's in the house! I hope...

Post by Benn on Aug 17, 2015 9:52:48 GMT

Post by The Doctor on Aug 17, 2015 11:47:27 GMT
I don't think I have any anymore other than the wee RTS Legends Starscream, Tiny Titans Starscream and a couple of the DECEPTICON STRIKE PLANE characters in Decoy form.
I have had various versions of the jets over the years but I don't think I have ever had the 'set of 3' all from the same line at the same time!

Primus wept, you did this just to taunt me, didn't you? You know of my frustrations in completing these sets! Yep, I'm with you there, Cyber-pal. I simply absolutely definitely MUST have all three, if I have one. It's ingrained in my nostalicerebrum. I have stream-lined in recent years, and have eased back on that particular obsession. Now Own: Robotmasters (survived the culls, really like 'em, but they may be culled in the future) CHUG (I ache for this mold in the voyager size. Got the three Cone-heads as well) MP-3 Masterpiece (The Sex) and 6" TITANIUM!!!!! Have Owned: G1 (original SS, reissue SW and TC) Armada Movie Cybertron SW and TC, and Energon SS (& KO World's Smallest) err, think that's it.... something itching the back of my nostalicerebrum though.... |

You missed some WST, HOC, Botcon HOC, 2007 movie and as you havent specified the same mould they all turn up in Machine Wars, Robot Heroes and AMTCs big boy pants bare a resemblance to Skywarp. Original Armada HOC Botcon HOC WST Classics Movie voyagers FOC unless I dont have starscream Kreo Slightly mixed groups Reissues (maybe a mix of hasbro and takara) MP as a mix of 3 and 11 |
