    Maketoys is going nuts at the moment. There's at least another three unannounced toys in its numbering system.

    Added:
    Maketoys Howling Meteo

    Big rework. With the expansion of 3P into non-US G1 MP, I've ordered the list into first appearance of characters in TV shows. I've also broken out G2 and Diaclone variants. If a Japanese character has a Hasbro toy with an English name, the Japanese name is now listed first [JP] followed by the English name [EN].

    Hopefully this should help people focus their collections more easily.

    Fixed:
    Sparkdash entries were mistaken with Crossformers

    Changes:
    Slowly linking all characters to TFWiki
    Voodoo Ratchet renamed to Salus
    Voodoo Ironhide renamed to Animus

    Removed:
    Toyworld Bii
    Artfeather Bumblebee
    Alternators Jeep Wrangler Autobot Hound
    Impossible toys exosuit Spike & Daniel
    Universe 2.0 Inferno
    iGear PP-05 Defense Specialist
    KFC Citizen Stack

    Earmarked for future removal:
    All Maketoys/Fansproject/TFC combiners, once larger alternatives arrive.
    Fansproject/Toyworld Headmasters
    iGear Duneraker

    Added:
    Autobot X
    Primacron
    X-Transbots Hatch
    X-Transbots Truncheon
    X-Transbots Rimfire
    Xovergen TF-02 Trailerforce
    Maketoys Reticle
    Maketoys Contact Shot
    MP-18B
    DX9 D08 Gewalt
    Planet X City Guardian
    Toyworld Expressway
    Toyworld Shinebug
    Toyworld Sideload

    Would be nice if TFW supported anchor tags in a post :)

    Why isn't MP-08 Grimlock listed under "Old Scale"? We have yet to get a new Grimlock V2 to scale with MP-10.

    Yeah was considering doing this. The things that held him there a little longer were being fine in dino mode, and the Scoria disco boots.

    Both MP-5 and MP-5G are in the list already, and are in the old scale/superseded section.

    I'm thinking of getting back in the collecting game after seeing some beautiful renditions of my favorite childhood stuff with the MP series and their 3P variants but was so confused about all the terms and acronyms you guys were using (after being out of comics and everything for so long), so thank you so much for this. Although there are definitely more questions and decisions I'll have to make, this guide helps tremendously as I think I'd like to stick with MP or similar.

    Please add DX9 D07 Tyrant as a potential substitute for Galvatron.

    Just wanted to thank you again for continuing to do this. I feel like people who do things like this for the community should be reminded every now and then how much they're appreciated! :)  Take it easy.
