These are original from the 80’s. I got Red Alert in Japan along with Inferno. I thought they made a good set since they were both firefighters. I also have a G2 Sideswipe and Sunstreaker. I now have all 4 Lamborghinis.

Here is another Toys R’ Us re-issue from the early 2000’s I added to my collection. I never had the original version. These were a great alternative from the Japanese The Transformers Collection from Takara which were $60-$80 at the time.

Here is Tracks. I never had the original one. This is another re-issue purchased in the 2003 from the Commemorative Series.

Grapple Transformers Generation 1 Commemorative Series VI 2004
Here’s a re-issue that I bought in the early 2000’s from Toys R Us. I never had this one as a kid. I finally opened him up and took him out so that I could take a picture of him and display him next to his brother, Inferno.
Inferno & Grapple came out in 1984 &1985 as part of Generation 1 Transformers

I believe this is one of the original Hasbro Wheeljack purchased either at Service Merchandise or The Treasury in 1984. I have had this one a long time.

Thundercracker, Starscream, Skywarp Transformers Generation 1 Decepticons 1984
Here’s the three original planes – Thundercracker, Starscream, and Skywarp. Starscream is a clone that I bought at the fair back in 1985 or so. I had some extra Decepticon stickers and slapped it on him. I think this was Taiwan version by Kingdam. A knock off of the Diaclone version before the Transformers came out.

Below is a loose Daitetsujin DX that I traded from one of my cousin’s friends. He was terrible at keeping all the parts and since he played with them, the joints are all loose. I am not a stickler for condition or having the box like my cousin is. Still, I’m glad to have him since he’s an 80’s Bandai Godaikin. My cousin has a better version (also posted on this site here) in box. The image on the right is how he appeared in his show.

Here’s the green “grunt” version of the Geara Doga. The blue version I also have is a customized, commander version. This was part of a large, recently purchased lot on Craigslist. I’m very happy to have this guy as I don’t have him and I love the Char’s Counterattack.

I just bought this one a few months ago…there’s 2 or 3 other Japanese train robos in the same line and this one is called Railspike in the US and J-Five in Japan. I had to do some research and I believe the series is called “Cybertron Team Shinkansen.” Supposedly the others combine to form one big robot but I didn’t get that impression and so, I only bought the one I liked the most. I might go back and get the rest as it was only 20 dollars.

Dynaman ST Godaikin 1984 – Popy Dyna Robo GB-97 1983
This is the 2nd robot I bought and as usual, from Japantown. I vividly remember going to that store almost 3x a month just to scope out what he had and I’d inevitably come out with a wish list. I think I got into Godaikins because of this guy. I also have the big DX version.
