.... and the front of the car covering the robot's chest! See, that doesn't bother me in the slightest. And it kinda replicated the bump that the original had sticking out there. Without that, the toy just looks empty and flat. So I stand by my judgement that RTS Windcharger is the best (updated) Windcharger. |

The mighty spreadsheet reminds me that I have more of this mighty little Autobot than I remembered:
G1 Keychain (Reissue of the original minibot)
CHUG Legend
DotM Deluxe
And also, if you're going to allow X-Brawn:
(Original) RiD... er... Spychanger... whatever they called the Legends

Oh yeah, Brawn was a favourite of mine for years, also. Probably something to do with The Enemy Within.
Actually, *everything* to do with The Enemy Within.

Spychanger X-Brawn, keychain Brawn and the wee Universe Brawn are mine.
I feel we must disqualify 3rd party Brawns are they are not actually Brawn toys.

Ahhh... Action Masters. The pinnacle of G1! The pinnacle in that it really didn't go anywhere else after that... But still, they were glorious! And I had:
Grimlock
Soundwave
Bumblebee
Shockwave
Optimus Prime
What also made them special for me was the way that I encountered each of them.
Usually the Marvel Comic was pretty good at letting us know of upcoming toylines. But with Action Masters - and I guess this was due to distribution reasons - I first encountered them on holiday in France. I had no idea what they were, but after ascertaining that they were official Hasbro releases, I bought Grimlock and Soundwave, and then spent of the rest of the holiday translating the cardbacks to figure out just what the bloody hell those things were.
Bumblebee and Shockwave I picked up back home, in a toy shop in Portsmouth that is sadly long closed (and was the place where I received my first lightsaber, at the age of five, from a visiting Darth Vader). These, though, were special, because I picked these up when I finally had my first proper bike, and was free to travel into the city on my own.
Finally, Optimus Prime. I wanted him, because - as is still the case - I had to have one of each mold. (A whole three at the time.) However, since I was now mature and thirteen my parents would no longer buy me big toys for birthdays, and I didn't have the income to save up for one. So instead I sent a postal order for a fiver off to Hasbro, asking for the Prime figure on his own. And they obliged. Which was lovely of them.
So there you go. Action Masters. Less a toyline, more a collection of memories...

How many Action Masters toys do you own? 1) Shockwave2) BanzaitronNeither has their companion, and Banzaitron doesn't have a gun. Bought last year in a lot during a moment of "I need to own AM Shockwave!" Have Owned: 1) Shockwave2) Blaster3) DevastatorYou may spot the connection between these three - Non UK characters! Bought the moment I lay eyes on them. 4) GrimlockAnd I went back for Grimlock a day later. I still regret not buying the rest of the 84/5 Action Masters 5) Prowl6) Starscream7) WheeljackThe three cheaper vehicles packed with 84/5 characters. |

May I enquire, Gentlemen, when you're saying you've 'got' a particular Action Master, does that mean you've got the vehicle or weapon-jobby too?
