    OH NO!

    I can see it now... how the "Seaspray argument", like a phoenix rising from the ashes, will rise to rear it's ugly head once more! NOOOOOOOOOOO!

    :lol

    I was really close with this guy I had him on the list but pulled him before I posted. Still on the fence with this guy and I guess I could have posted a poll to help me with that decision.

    While I really like this project, I also see it as a bit of a conundrum as there are some figs that the fandom disagree on as whether it's Classics or not (ROTF Brawn/HFTD Outback, I'm looking at you...) and it could spark a nasty debate. Unless, of course, one has the resources to edit this once it's done. Then again, I'm pretty sure this is mainly for you, and for the rest of the fandom second, so we'll go with your judgement.

    I also vote Seaspray.

    I have Seaspray included in my collection. A poll would have been neat just to see what other collectors thought.

    At the risk of playing devils advocate, why no U-Roadbuster or U-Springer, the ones from he Target two packs? Or Classics Devastator for that matter?

    I take it you are only using original moulds and not shoehorned in repaints? Not a criticism, just wondering....

    Still a great job, hopefully it will shame Hasbro ino filling the gaps!!

    Looks like molds not intended for classics don't count. Which I agree with.

    Yes you are correct that was my intention and hopefully someone from Hasbro see this and helps us fill at least the 84 list.

    You should do one of these with 3rd party added in.

    I get why you didnt include things like Devastator and Roadbuster (since they werent Classics molds). But it seems odd that you'd include the Battlechargers and not Universe Drag Strip. And lol at not including Galvatron at all :lol

    Just a thought for you..

    You have the list going top to bottom but the figures are shown left to right. I would suggest making the list left to right as well.

    But, other than that, you have done great work, I can't wait to see it finished.

    Seaspray should be included if only because he was technically the same toyline/packaging as Grapple, Windcharger, Jazz etc. RtS was a subline of the same Transformers line...

    Freaking awesome work man. That original catalog is a great piece of work and will forever hold its place in TF history. Great idea to do a classics update to the catalog.

    On the 1985, Series 2 line, did you think about trying to use that much larger Series 2 catalog as a template? I'm guessing that would have been more difficult, since that catalog incorporated some ground and space backgrounds?

    They were repaints.

    I just followed what they did in 84 and decided to keep the same format.

    He was actually on the list and I pulled him before I posted. I might do an updated list later with him back on.

    To much work I thought about it but after all the photoshopping work needing to be done on the figures themselves I just decided to stay with the 84 theme.


    I am currently working on a Takara list but it will not be finished anytime soon then follow that up with a third party list filling in any of the blanks that Hasbro or Takara has not attempted yet.

    I think you should include only the figures that you want to include :)

    Cool, cool. I respect your not including Grimlock, though personally I'd probably put in MP Grimlock since he is scaled pretty much to Voyager Optimus in robot mode.

    Also I would've included the Legends Minibots. But I admit I'm biased, I love those little guys.

    Anyhoo, I'm going to stop trying to backseat... photoshop and just say "sweet."

    I was thinking the same thing when I was putting the list together.
