    They're from a kinda "generic TF" toy line from the 80's call Alpha-Bots. I remember getting the D from Revco as a kid... it took me forever to figure out what they were called so I could hunt them down.

    How's about this?!

    [​IMG]

    Sadly those are all long gone, now. I'm left pretty much with only Shattered Glass Thundercracker & Galvatron, the TFCC Battlechargers & Deadpool, a TFC Hercules, and this guy:

    If you're referring to the Tyco Transformers Train set, it's HO. My next door neighbor used to have one, and when I got some random HO stuff, I used some of his set to get mine running. It's not everyday you see an Autobot switch engine lashed up to an Illinois Central Gulf diesel.
    (I wonder if anyone repainted their N5c Caboose/jet fighter in Pennsylvania or Conrail colors to make a real robot in disguise!?)

    I really REALLY wish someone would make a D-62 steam engine in O scale... so I can add model shuttle engines to the back of the cab and paint it a magnificent shade of Decepticon Purple!

    Member Big Daddy (formerly known as Big Pete) was kind enough to make and mail them out to people for free during the Erector Campaign. I love it!

    I'm sure many of us already have Jetwing Optimus Prime. Perhaps more than a few even have an all-silver/chrome Jetwing Optimus.

    But how many can boast owning an all-silver/chrome Jetwing Optimus WITH MOTHERF***IN' ABS???

    (and a Striker Prime Stealth Mode with an ROTF Leader Prime base. w00t :D )

    ...I have these.

    [​IMG]

    That's the earlier reissue Predaking with die cast.

    Maybe I should've chucked the anime-coloured reissue Galvatron in the shot, too.

    There are some cool things in this thread. Some that I want but none that I'm jealous of. I was expecting a lot more from this thread. C'mon TFW... lets kick it up a few notches.
