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.

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.

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.

Here is my collection of Dinobots. I am only missing Swoop. I am still looking for a good used version of him. Most pieces I have seen have issues, so I still don’t have one yet.
