Real Gear Robots Appreciation thread!

I searched and didn't find one.

Anyway, this is an appreciation thread for the old TFTM gimmick, Real Gear Robots.
I make this because, for some reason, those guys never get old and if I ever come across one of them I end up picking it up and transforming it a bit.
If you don't remember, maybe this guy will help:



Tell me if this is breaking any rules or should be closed.

"Where is it/you at?" (and similar statements using "at") IS BAD GRAMMAR. Thank you for your time.

That guy who turns into a PS3 controller parody is my favorite. xD

I love these guys. The transformations are clever and came out so well, they're among my favorite Transformers. Plus, I'm tired of the typical cars, trucks, and planes.
SALES FEEDBACK WANTS

In the fiction these were made by Erector.

In real life, I'm sure Eric Siebenaler worked on these, they sure look and feel like his work.

I love these personally, when they came out I didn't get it, but ignore the fiction, ignore the movies and go right back to 1984 when Transformers could be anything, not just jets or cars. Awesome toys.

Unfortunately, the ex-girlfriend got custody of these during the split. Boo! At least she was cool enough to collect Transformers though.

Favourites include the Binoculars, video camera and the awesome video game controller who reminds me of Beast Box.

Haha, yeah, High Score 100 (the console controller) is my favorite.
Well, tied with Longview. xD

I've always loved the Booster (Laserbeak) figure.
