    I've still gotta get SW and the tapes. Still gotta get Screamer, too.

    Walmart probably has Starscream online still and Soundwave is available for free delivery.

    This Hoist, with all his scars, has something very artistic, I like it so much. Sometimes a scarred vintage transformers has more class and character than a minty one.

    I totally agree with you. There's a lot of character in that wear and tear!

    I feel that way about the older members of my collection, with their missing labels and other wear and tear. My original quartet of Huffer, Warpath, Twin Twist, and Prime are battle-hardened soldiers.

    I'm much more comfortable playing with a recent reissue than an original or a past reissue due to how plastic ages over the years.

    Galvatron!!!...."The best there was, the best there is....the best there ever will be!"
    He is one of my absolute favorites, loved his G1 persona from both movie and cartoon series. Love his toy, he is only second to G1 Megatron as the best!

    One of my favourite G1 figures and my favourite Micromaster that I own(someday Countdown, someday), the mighty Erector!

    Alright, settle down. I said settle down, or it’s an hour detention and a letter home to all of your parents!

    I never really gave his name much thought back then, despite having as dirty a mind as any young male. Powerglide and Thrust were funnier in my mind(still are). I just loved his design and colour, plus the bad ass artillery mode. Add in the fact that his turret/crane works without the trailer and you have a figure that deserves attention for more than his admittedly hilarious name.

    Rising to the occasion, he overcomes stiff resistance and creams all members of the invading forces in a single stroke! E5B3168D-270D-4413-AD10-7122108288C6.jpeg

    I absolutely love G1 Insecticons. They're plentiful as vintage and reissues. The chrome, paint, diecast and uniformity when unworn make the G1 my favourites even now, beyond 3P and CHUG versions ever did. Their Ceji & Diaclone/Ehobby variants are extra special in my opinion.
