The seacons were reissued a while back, and can still be had on Amazon Marketplace.

Generations Metroplex is still available a plenty at Toys R Us, and is pretty chunky and cool.
They weren't my favourite but I am tempted (if I haven't got them). The Generations Metroplex is crazy.........I love it.

Thanks for the link as I've seen something very interesting I'd like smile

I also liked the Targetmasters and all that lot, Fortress Maximus especially.
Not so keen on Powermaster Prime, always liked his classic form.

fb throws up some ace pics regularly.

Looking at that generations me trop lex I then saw brand new Gmail reissue of Menasor. £80 later and it's on its way to play with while I recover from surgery. I only had the dead end car when I was wee. Happy days, cheered me right up.

I had the Powermaster Prime but never had the original Prime which is bizarre.

I'm a member of a couple of TF groups on FB. Great pics of there.

Whoa there, the description on that Amazon listing shows it as K/O, which means knock off, which normally equals low quality.

I've had a few cheap knock versions of the protectorbots and the aerial bots and they're normally made of soft plastic and badly moulded parts. Let us know how you get on when it arrives!

FFS.... I didn't know you could sell stuff on amazon that isn't genuine....fks sake.

Having had a look online there are a few reviews and the quality is actually pretty good apparently, and it's more for display, but you would expect knock off stuff of Hasbro products to be crap Chinese packaging. Bit annoyed as it probably says on the listing but I just though as knock offs were illegal if sold as original item, I.e copy of packaging and logo etc.

We will see, but that's opened my eyes a bit to amazon and what it allows

Same here, I follow Menasor and Megatron and Prime I think.
And follow a page called Rolling with Optimus Prime because you gotta beef with Megatron. biggrin
What groups are you in?


Not 'canon', but pretty cool.

yes
I'm rather pleased that another thread about a pathetically misdirected film series and an utterly hapless director has unearthed a treasure trove of TF fans!
The above group reminded me there were three other 'seekers', Acid Storm and two others!

No, I'll destroy you with my bare hands!
One of the best rivalries in media.

Trying to remember which transformer toys I had, back in the day. They were G1, I had Jazz (flatnose 911), Ramjet (white jet with dark red wings), Ravage and Laserbeak cassette tapes, Inferno the fire truck (I think, it may have been the similar yellow truck with a ladder, can't remember name, all very hazy). I may have had one of the Dinobots too, or I may be getting mixed up with Zoids hehe .

That'd be Grapple. Funny enough, I found Inferno a few days back.

I always thought using the same toy/different colour and having a different bot was a bit of a crafty swizz on Hasbro's part. biggrin
Liked it when they genuinely were different like Sunstreaker and Sideswipe/Red Alert.
