Transformers Generation 1 Smokescreen Commemorative Series VI 2003

Here’s a brand new in box, Toys R Us reissue Smokescreen from the early 2000’s. I just picked him up on Ebay for a pretty good price – I think it was about 35.

I don’t recall ever having this one as a kid. I now have all the Datsun 280 ZX molds. The other two are Silverstreak and Prowl as pictured below.

Trailbreaker Transformers G1

Dave December 31, 2013 Hasbro, Transformers, Transformers No Comments

Here’s a loose Trailbreaker Transformers G1 that I just picked up on Ebay. I had this as a kid but probably traded him. He’s missing the fists but that’s ok. I now have both Ford Bronco trucks. The other robot that shares the same mold is Hoist (the green robot below)

Sideswipe – Autobot 1993 Transformers Generation 2

Dave December 9, 2013 Hasbro, Transformers, Transformers 2 Comments

I didn’t collect many Transformers after G1 save for two Alternators and this Sideswipe G2 that I happen to spot loose in a collectibles store. I bought him as I have the other two Lamborghini G1’s (see 2nd image – Sideswipe – Red and Red Alert – Fire chief) and I thought it would be cool to have the set. My cousin gave me the yellow Sunstreaker for Christmas and I now have all 4 Lamborghinis.

Thrust, Ramjet and Dirge “Coneheads” – Transformers G1

Dave December 9, 2013 Hasbro, Transformers, Transformers 2 Comments

Here’s the 2nd set of planes issued for the Transformers G1 – Thrust, Ramjet, and Dirge. I didn’t realize they call these the “Coneheads” because their heads are like cones (although I’ve kept their nose cones down as I like them better that way).

Anyway, I just picked these up today. I wasn’t originally a fan of these in the beginning as I liked the Autobot cars more but I had the original three planes from season 1 (see 3rd image – Starscream, Skywarp, Thundercracker) so I decided to get the next three (season 2) to complete the set. These were not re-issued as part of the reissue series in the early 2000’s.

Evidently, there is another plane from season 1 called Sunstreaker that I have seen online but I don’t recall him as a kid. I just found the sticker sheets for these planes for cheap and I’m hoping to get them soon as there are no stickers for the eyes, feet and wings so they look kind of barren at the moment. The person I bought them from didn’t put the stickers because he said that over time, the stickers would come off anyway.

Thrust, Ramjet, and Dirge are Generation 1 Seekers(Decepticon jet fighter robots) also known as Coneheads 1985 Transformers G1 Foreign names - Dirge(ダージ Dāji), Funébro, Sparviero, Funebre, Dirgo, Funeral - Ramjet(ラムジェット Ramujetto), Statoréacto, Nibbio, Motor, Rajada - Thrust(スラスト Surasuto), Fatalo, Rapax, Mandarin- Chongfeng（冲锋, Charger）, Tuijin Qi (推进器, Thruster), Impulso(Impulse), Empuxo

Blaster – Transformers Generation 1 1985

Dave December 6, 2013 Hasbro, Transformers, Transformers No Comments

Here’s a loose Blaster that I don’t recall how I got but it’s cool because I now have the Decepticon’s Soundwave (both tape player mechas). I understand that the complete set of this toy also has the Autobot cassettes Eject and Ramhorn. The other two Autobot cassettes (not included) were Rewind and Steeljaw.

Shockwave 1985 – Transformers Decepticon Generation 1

This one’s another clone that I bought at a fair. Not sure if this is the Shackwave, Galactic Man or Astro Magnum. I can’t remember though… I originally bought this before he was featured in Transformers but lucked out when they introduced him as Shockwave. I had some extra Decepticon stickers and slapped them . I think the original version is more purple while mine is just olive green.

Red Alert and Sideswipe – Transformers Generation 1

Dave December 6, 2013 Hasbro, Takara, Transformers, Transformers, Transformers 1 Comment

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.

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.
