    nice. The Motorvators really look like "G2 version" of Road Cesear.

    There was a slightly odd colored knockoff of Road Caesar awhile back... I always wanted to grab the combiner parts to use with the Motorvators

    Thanks! Each label displays the name of the figure, the year(s) it was available, and their function as designated by their box or if there was no designation, by popular fan fiction. Example:

    Optimus Prime
    Autobot Commander
    1984, 1985, 1986 (mail away)

    The labels take a long time since they all have to be hand folded and are on cardstock, but I'm slowly getting there :)

    oooh, just grabbed a MISB Stepper reissue (Takara book edition) for $30 shipped. Pleasant surprise on eBay, had Jazz as a kid, never saw Stepper though!

    Ah, thanks for the info. Even worse though, I'm a Brit in disguise, lol!

    Have to say though, I don't remember the motivators either so that was a pleasant read for me! Must have been that dark period where I was trying to appear a grown up by denying myself what I loved. Ah, the true sign of immaturity, caring if others think you're mature or not!

    Great deal. I jumped on it when I saw they were reissuing Stepper a few years back, and I'm glad I did. Very striking figure.
    I just think it's great that Takara reissued a few toys that were Japanese exclusives, giving collectors the chance to own them without paying hundreds of $$$. I have Stepper, Landcross, and the Micromaster gestalts. Used to have the Star Convoy reissue but traded it for the super-awesome Ehobby Overcharge.

    However, I'm still waiting for my Artfire and Raiden reissues.

    Looks cool! And he only cost 6 dollars! I wonder what he went for on this side of the Atlantic.

    Hmmmm...
    As a toy, Skullcruncher is probably the best, with his tail sword and minimal gator kibble in robot mode. But for me Mindwipe just has a mystique about him since I never owned him as a kid. Not sure I can choose between the two.
