How many XYZ toys do you own?

[The Doctor]

Speak no ill of the glorious Headmasters or Planet Zero waits for you.

-Ralph

[Benn]

Headmasters, eh?

Well now.

Mindwipe
Brainstorm
Chromedome (minus Stylor, annoyingly)
Apeface
Scorponok
Hosehead
Generations Brainstorm

And I suspect that's yer lot. Oh, and the Henry Masterson Headmaster unit.

Kinda always wanted a Skullcruncher and Hardhead though. Really hoping that the new line will do them justice.

[Shockprowl]

Headmasters are Itchy.

[Benn]

As a wee 'un I preferred Targetmasters, I think.

How many Sunstreaker toys do you own?

Phil loves Sunstreaker :-)

OWN

1) G1 Sunstreaker

A very recent acquisition, from the ToyFu Granny's House Clearance haul, he completes my 84/5 Autobot car collection. It's amazing seeing how different the TF and robot is from Sideswipe given how similar the vehicles are.

Great fun toy. A Diaclone police version is one of my biggest grails.

2) Combiner Wars Sunstreaker

Good. Could be a lot better. They've got the car, the robot head and the supercharger, albeit oversized in there but somehow the robot doesn't quite work as Sunstreaker.

Have Owned

1) Gold Box Classic

1991 TRU purchase, with Wheeljack, as they were the Autobot cars I wanted the most. Went in the 95/6 purge and a thorn in my side till October this year.

2) Universe 2

Good again, but the arms and the legs aren't quite right and the car is a bit too rounded to be a Lamborghini. Bonus points for getting Sideswipe out the same toy mould.

Not as much as Sunstreaker loves Sunstreaker. ;-)

Clearly, I don't love him that much at all, though, for I have only:

Combiner Wars

And aye, I agree - whilst I love the car (it's good and solid, and the oversized overcharger is nicely ridiculous) the robot's not *quite* right.

[Baron B of Triple B]

Shamefully, i own 0 Sunstreakers. I refuse to buy the Hasbro CW version as the TakTom version is much better with the orange instead of yellow so I'm waiting for one of those to come up at a reasonable price.

MP Sunstorm has the same issue and if I hadn't been able to get the Hasbro version for £35 I'd have waited on the Takara version coming up at a decent price.

[The Doctor]

None.

-Ralph

[Benn]

1. The Transformers
2. Gold Box Reissue
3. Alternators
4. Universe
5. Robot Heroes

There have not been enough Sunstreakers. CW does not count. MASTERPIECE TIME PLZ?

[legios]

Sunstreaker's eh? Well, given the size of his ego, his history as a professional arena fighter and all... I've taken the safe bet and avoided the endless rematches and rematches of rematches that would result from having two of him in the same place at the same time...

Own.

1. Universe Sunstreaker - great toy, pretty much as close to the Murcielago look as you were going to get in terms of the vehicle mode and a great looking toy in humanoid mode.

Have owned:

None

(I really should get Sunstreaker one of my LEGO swords at some point. It'd suit him. Maybe swipe the one I did for Drag Strip. )

Karl

[Philip Ayres]

Are you telling me the sword with the CW version makes vague sense?

[legios]

I don't think it is intentional, but in "State Games" in one of the UK annuals Sunstreaker appears as a combatant in the final State Games. I don't recall what his preferred weapon type(s) were, but he certainly had history as a gladiator. It is a bit obscure, so I'm not sure it is a deliberate reference, but there is a certain logic to it now that I think about it.

Karl

[The Doctor]

I have always imagined Sunstreaker with a sword.

-Ralph

[legios]

For some reason I tend to feel he is a shield and axe wielder but I'm not sure why. (I also see him as one of those showboaters who is popular with the crowd because he always draws the fight out and goes for entertaining over efficient. (His brother would make a terrible Gladiator in my opinion all *bang**crash**thump* "ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED!" like Maximus in Gladiator)

Karl

[The Doctor]

The influence of State Games upon the mind of young Ralph was strong.

Alternators. That's it, and it has now been adopted by my daughter.

Would love a reissue and/or decent MP, it was a toy I really wanted as a kid.

This Week:

How many Kup toys do you own?

[Llama God]

Don't even have to refer to the spreadsheet for this one.

I may live with two girls, but I have not a single Kup.

[Philip Ayres]

Kup doesn't have that many versions.....

OWN

1) Generations with the iGear heads. Fab toy, loads of c-clips.
2) TFC 20 with bonus Wheelie! Anoher fab Japanese reissue that packs in his original gun, his Targetmaster and an extra Minibot!

Have Owned

1) 1986 I have almost certainly owned an 86 Kup at some pt. It doesn't set my world on fire.
2) Prime Why is it the Cyberverse Ironhide is so so good and yet the deluxe version is so rubbish? There's some slightly different mould tweaks, especially round the chest which really don't work. Kup's always been Ironhide II so it's nice they finally share a mould.

Used to own...

1. The Transformers

Own:

The TFC reissue. As Phil says, one of the best, with some of the best box art in that line to boot!

Have owned:

The eHobby 3-pack version of the Generations mould. If I'd kept it I'd've got one of those 3P heads, the original has such an awful face.
Brakedown GTS - was a great Kup stand-in for its time, and such a good homage that despite not sharing the name I feel no shame including it here!

-Jim

[Baron B of Triple B]

Own - None

Have owned - Just the original 1986 version.

[Pinwig]

Headmasters

These two:



plus Generations Brainstorm. Snapdragon you may note is missing his two blue fins, which I am determined to find.
Unofficially: Toyworld Hardhead, Brainstorm, Skullcruncher & Fort Max.
I had Weirdwolf, Highbrow and Scorponok as a child and regret selling them terribly.

Sunstreaker

G1 original, complete
Combiner Wars

Kup

G1 original, procured from the Toy-Fu stall at RORC this year. Very very pleased with him; he's in fantastic condition.

[Shockprowl]

Kup!

Have owned:
'86, in '86. Nice metal chest.
Generations. Actually a pretty darn good figure.

Now own: None

[The Doctor]

I'm not sure if I still own the TFC reissue or not. TO THE CUPBOARD OF DOOM.
