An easier one this time: - Alternators
- Combiner Wars
- Siege
Of course I say "easier", but as ever I don't know for sure what the Conjunx has. I'm fairly sure she's also got a Classics/Henkei and some sort of G1 version hanging around somewhere, too. |

OWN1) 1984I've actually owned two of these. The first was from a friend, actually one of the very first TFs I ever played with. That went in the 95 purge and was eventually replaced off eBay a few years back/ 2) RID SpychangerDecent Mirage. Mould has never had a full on g1 deco though. 3) Minicon4) Road Assault MiniconOK Minicons but they're both retools of pack in Swindle. 5) Robot Masters LigierA mould that was crying out for this deco and Robotmasters obliged alongside R-Blade's Hooligan as Jetfire. Shame they dropped the ball on Hoist. 6) ClassicsOne of the very, very best Classics updates. Top class toy, the only thing it could do with is standard size hands, a fault it shares with Classics Rodimus, but oh well! 7) Combiner WarsIt's OK, but you feel if they'd made an effort it could have been loads better with a car nose chest. 8) Siege deluxe9) Fan Vote Battle 3-Pack Holo Mirage10) WFC Trilogy Decepticon Mirage11) Legacy Toxitron G2 MirageHAVE OWNED1) Machine WarsDecent toy, but the deco isn't there and too monochrome. Far, far better was to come later. (I think I've owned every version of this mould at some pt: today the aforementioned Ligier, RID Skid Z and the superb car robots oh so close to being Mirage xclear Indy heat survive. 2) Beast MachinesPossibly the best of the early BM basics. Again, it's surprising it's never had a Mirage redeco. 3) RID Mirage GTThe one BM redeco is .... interesting. Not sure what they're going for here, it's more Dragstrip than Mirage, 4) Dimension X MiniconThicko here has only just realised that this is an attempt to do a G1 Mirage Minicon! D'oh 5) Wal*Mart Cybertron MiniconToo much like Minicon Swindle. 6) EnergonRandom name reuse Mirage, this toy never jelled with with me.

It's been a long time since I owned it but I have a memory of bits falling off and the TF being a nightmare

Oh the boat, I own that one
but as Superlink, not Energon,
where it's known as Shockfleet
so off my list it will keep.

Week H: How many Mirage toys do you own now? ERROR! Hang on, let me try that again ERROR! Huh? Oh, I see. Let me redefine a field so that null counts as a number. *clickity-click* Zero! We've hit the first of these where I don't have anything bearing that name anymore. I'm actually surprised that we hadn't done so before. (Although last week was a very near miss). Karl |

MIRAGE!
Although one of my favourites I have sadly so few.
But here let me list them all for you.
Currently I have only the Siege-tastic!
But previously I've had G1, Combiners, and Classic.

Week I: How many Rumble toys do you own now?
For the purposes of this question, Rumble is the toy that says Rumble on the packaging.
However, since I firmly subscribe to RIRFIB, as a bonus question how many Red Frenzys do you also have?

Week I: How many Rumble toys do you own now?For the purposes of this question, Rumble is the toy that says Rumble on the packaging. However, since I firmly subscribe to RIRFIB, as a bonus question how many Red Frenzys do you also have? 1) Encore I must have owned a Rumble before this but I can't definitively remember owning one. Still great after 30+ years. 2) Adventures I used to own the United version, sold it, regretted it so leapt on the Adventures reissues. Fun toys. 3) Galaxy Force Red GF Ramble is definitely Rumble. 4) Galaxy Force Yellow (Cybertron Scrapmetal) Odd we've never seen a yellow tape as Scrapmetal 5) Galaxy Force Blue It's here I made one of my big TF buying mistakes. I bought Red Ramble, because, and didn't get Blue Ramble cos I was sure he'd get a western release as Frenzy. He didn't and Blue Rambles do not come cheap now. *FINALLY* got one this year 6) Titans Return Legend Acquiring this took more than one attempt following a Kapow preorder BLEEP up. He's great! Getting his Frenzy took a while..... 7) Siege Micromaster with Ratbat 2 pack Likewise getting his Frenzy was a bit of a quest 8) SS86 Core Rumble Blue I can *JUST*ABOUT* deal with this thanks to it being a cartoon version and the red version being out. However..... 9) Legacy United Core Rumble Blue with Soundwave This challenges the head: Frenzy toy colours, not Rumble cartoon colours, and it's STILL CALLED RUMBLE?? ?? ?? ?? ?? ?? ?? ?? Red Frenzy 1) SS86 Core Frenzy Red RIR,FIB Have Owned 1) Prime Nice car, wrong colour. 2) United See above. 3) Fall of Cybertron Again, wrong colour. Have Owned Red Frenzy 1) Fall of Cybertron But they did both so you can swap them round. Nice figure, fun fan car mode. |

"for the purposes of this question"
That gives us a common frame of reference to work from without imposing any of the contrasting views on the rest of you which you may or may not agree with.
Personally: If it's red, it's Rumble.

All Scrapmetals are Rambles in Japan. Hasbro stupidity stopped the blue Rambles being Scrapmetal toys in the west |

Post by Benn on Nov 19, 2024 9:18:20 GMT
Okay, I'm not disputing that Ramble is Rumble, but your own rules say it should say Rumble on the box, but Scrapmetal doesn't have that, nor is he red or blue. That's like saying Enemy is a Rumble, or Siege Knok, right?
I'm not familiar with those Japanese lines, so please feel free to educate/correct me if I'm awry here!

The yellow Scrapmetal was sold in Japan as Ramble - the name is towards the bottom of the card insert  |

The entire Rumble is Red/Blue thing. Having alternate colours buys into it. Changing the name in the west and only releasing one of the obvious colours alongside the odd one. I suspect if they'd released the blue one instead of the yellow one in the west there would have been much less demand for the yellow than there was for the blue.
