Finishes tomorrow when we will move on from garish clear Autobot Cars to garish clear Decepticon Fire Breathing Monsters. And we all know what they're called....

Annoyingly, Cindersaur is my favourite of the original Firecons. Worse, Sparkstalker is my least favourite of the molds, but Flamefeather has my least favourite colours. ... Eh, it's Piss-Flamefeather. Always go with a piss.

Flamefeather!
Although the transparent colours work better on Sparkstalker.

Week 159: What is the best G2 Decepticon Sparkabot in 1994?What did Cindersaur do to deserve being left out? And Guzzle! I can understand one of the Decepticons being left out as they look very similar already and Cindersaur doesn't have wings so has less interesting parts

We did ask the Guzzle question last week: What did Guzzle do to deserve being left out? There's a guess at what G2 Cindersaur's colours might have been in a Botcon toy: tfwiki.net/wiki/Cindersaur#TimelinesIf only we knew someone who was good at custom moulding who could build us the original Cindersaur in a clear version of those colours.....

Heh! It also looks like a spiky poo.

I will have to confess I did expect SOMEONE to be shouting "ILLEGAL POLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!" very loudly by now and had prepared evidence to show why I did what I had done!

Though your subject title remains invalid, the items in question are. Is takes more than that to bait me, Ayres!

Decepticon Sparkabots and Autobot Minicons... what happened to the world. No wonder fans yearn for the simpler times of G1.

Finishes tomorrow, when we will see how the Americans retaliate for us showing them how it should be done!

Sparkstalker is clearly the better toy.

I remember not knowing the G2 Sparkabots existed until I bought one (along with Laser Rod Jolt) from Argos on new catalogue day in 1994. I wonder if this was my last time of discovering new toys in an actual shop on the day, rather than through leaks and news? It was certainly more exciting and I miss the experience.

I have had that experience with Rescue Bots and RID 2015 and Cyberverse where I have stumbled on something I did not know existed, as news sites mostly ignore them. This was why I was thrilled to find that micro-car G1 3-pack in ASDA recently: I did not know about them before I saw them.
Every now and then I get an itch for a SW figure and am usually surprised as I don't keep close tabs on SW toy news.

I cant decide between them.
Flamefeather. I think I slightly prefer the birdiness of the mould and I'll tie the vote.

I had this experience with RID15 too when I saw the frog car in Toys R Us and bought it.
