Er, not including various shells and inner robots lying around.
Bumblebee
Jazz
Grimlock
Starscream
Vroom
Pincher
I think thats it for youthful gifts
Since then Ive added to the near enough complete pile
Bludgeon (minus tank cannon)
Thunderwing
Doubleheader
Longtooth
Octopunch
Crossblades
Oilmaster
Pretender homages
Bludgeon
Thunderwing
Sky Shadow
Metalhawk
In a less than all there state
Most of the UK released standard shells like Landmine, some are probably complete, but I can never keep them straight.
All the inner beast pretender robots, but only one of the shells.
Grand Max (minus shell)
Metalhawk (just the dumbest inner robot of all)
I have most of the Dinoforce shells (most of whiech are incomplete, got a few of the robots too)

How many Pretenders toys do you own? Own = 0! That's not quite 100% true. I've got a shell in the loft, either Skullgrin or Bombburst, can't remember which! I've also got the Adventures version of Black Shadow in the post. Have Owned This is a bit tricky. It's been a while since I've owned any! I definitely had the Generations versions of Skullgrin and Thunderwing. Of the actual Pretenders I've owned a few of the UK released 88 ones, but can't remember which. Not owned any of the US ones :-( Owned a couple of the beasts, but can't remember which! I've got memories of owning at least one Mega Pretender, possibly two, but again can't remember which! I think I've owned all four of the classic Pretenders. I got a Grimlock robot from a Jumple sale and gradually built him up over a number of years. |

Godsdammit, Phil! I can't just reference my spreadsheet here - I have to actually think! Or re-do my spreadsheet. One of the two. I shouldn't have to engage my brain at this time on a Monday..!
Anyway, I think I have:
Catilla
Doubleheader
Pincher
Octopunch
Bumblebee
Grimlock
And I *think* that's it. And also Generations Thunderwing, but he doesn't count on account of not being a Pretender. Godsdammit.
Oh, and Combiner Wars Ultra Magnus. 'Cos, you know, he kinda is. ;-)

There will be a few more of these for a particular group of toys coming up down the line, but they'll be well spaced out. |

I have Carnivac. I bought him in a mint box years back, and the seller packed him so his spikes poked holes in it in postage! Ebaaaaay!

None. I never understood the appeal of having lots of little fat men in my collection back in the day and haven't revisited that era since.

Pretenders.
Own: None.
Unless you count that voyager Bludgeon who is a representation of a 'Pretenders' character but who does not feature the Pretender shell gimmick.
Have owned:
Pincher. Really liked him.
Roadgrabber, most of him anyway. I even had three inner robots at one point for some reason. I had a thing for Roadgrabber at one point, I forget why.
Inner robots of Bomb-burst and Gunrunner (impulse buys on ebay years ago).
Oh, excecpt...
In my dreams they did a Classics Pretender of Prowl and Wheeljack, and Thundercracker and Skywarp, and I own them and Classics Pretenders Jazz and Starscream as well.....

Pretenders, huh? Hmm. From back in the day I had:
Bomb-burst
Skullgrin
Submarauder (with American 1988 catalogue!)
And from year 2:
Catilla
Stranglehold
Longtooth
A friend down the street had Thunderwing. His only Pretender. Good call.
I never had the urge to pick up any more. The other '88 Decepticon Pretenders are worth seeing, but not keeping.

Animorphs.

Are there any questions that 'animorphs' doesn't answer?
I don't think there are.

Post by The Doctor on Nov 4, 2015 20:54:13 GMT
Animorphs do not apply to comic discussions.
Though as it was a Transformers toy series bypassed by many fans at least one toy from the range must be experienced for the full TF experience!
Though now I think of it the only Transformers series I have never owned any toys from was Star Wars Transformers.

Animorphs and... um.. NuRID. That's all I've never owned at least one of, I think.
Does stuff like Alternity count, cuz dems is pricey?

Yep. It's a Transfomers toy line.

Ooh I think you could get away with a Warrior Bumblebee as a token NuRiD gesture. It's not a bad toy. Others seem to favour the equivalent Grimlock, but I don't cos it's the wrong size and the robot's legs look like stickle bricks. But Bumblebee's pretty neat in his garish bright yellow over simplified fisher price looking way. He has no hollow bits and the proportions are right. |

This week:
How many Bluestreak toys do you own?
We'll accept the obvious Streak and Silverstrek variations here as there's been some naming issues.
