Awesome! Tracks is a special one. Definitely one of the top 5 coolest designs in G1, IMO. And to this day, I can’t look at him without hearing his G1 cartoon voice in my head saying, “Just look at my beautiful paint job!”.

 

Day 38 - it's this guy.

 

Back to me for another #GCWO entry, and I am privileged to present Day 39: ASTROTRAIN!



Absolutely love this toy, and thoroughly enjoyed doing this entry. Thanks to @tikgnat for design genius, and it's back to @Sixo and @incapable hulk for more G1 pics/reviews/nostalgia tomorrow!

All the best

Me again! And it's this guy!

 

Added Week 6 entries to first post!

Day 43: BLITZWING!

How much telescoping of the tank barrel did the Diaclone release have? I had Blitzwing as a kid and I'm 99.99% sure the barrel could telescope in and out at least two centimeters.

 

Sorry this is my fault for not being clear, as all versions can retract and extend the barrel, what I meant to imply was that the actual moulding was a different shape to visually appear even more telescoped, like this:

One of my favorite/only G1 figures!

 

I almost responded yesterday with the same curiosity as @Ikkstakk , @Maz - thanks for sharing those pix, I didn’t know preBlitzwing had that more properly sculpted cannon, very cool. I wonder if it was deemed too fragile or something?

 

What excellent taste you have, sir!

I think that's a very likely reason, to be honest!

Catch-up post! Two for the price of one. It's this guy and that chap.

 

Day 47 - SCRAPPER!



All the best
Maz

 

Here we go...Devastator incomong!!! 

 

Yes, finally getting to the Constructicons. Scrapper was the first one I picked up as a kid. It took me nearly a year to get all six, with Long Haul being the last, so I had ample time to enjoy the figures separately and Scrapper was one of my favorites. I used to have them on display building out my Decepticon headquarters along with dead batteries as fuel storage and cutouts of stereos and electronic parts from a Radio Shack catalog as Cybertronion technology.

 

Haha like we talked about, individual entries were definitely a thing, and I wanted to make them special  

Some patience may be required until the big fell himself shows up.

Hmm, that was a hell of a sentence...

Hah that is super cool!!

All the best

There were 3 entries into the GCWO, by myself which I totally forgot to post in here. So, much later than they should be - here they are.

Day 45: Bombshell

Day 46: Grapple


And Day 48: Shrapnel

 

The Insecticons were one of only two teams I completed in toy form as a kid (the other being the Technobots). I traded a kid at school for them. Those figures are still in my possession today. Full disclosure: I think Shrapnel might be my overall favorite.

 

What did the other kid get in that trade?
