    Yes, they are Toyhax labels. It’s two different sets actually. One was the recreation of their G1 stickers and the other set was an enhancement set which gave them some extra flair. Shows a lot when they form Computron which I’ll get to later this week.

    Yeah a ToyHax upgrade set. Some stickers on Strafe and Lightspeed are based on prototype stickers. Others are just made up. I think they actually did a really good job on that set. The set also includes red stickers for the back of Lightspeed, to mimic the red the cartoon used on Computrons legs.

    I hope you understand, I'm going to keep that to myself, although I reckon it was an absolute bargain given what I have seen them sell for.

    Nope, just the car and no accessories.

    All the best

    That's probably how I'd buy it. Then, I'd buy some of the G1 accessories for it or something.

    Had some fun with the Unique Toys Headmasters, they work so well with G1 bases.

    Sadly my childhood Scorponok needs replacing at some point (I'll probably keep this original one in the box and get a new body for display).

    As you can see he looks fine at a glance, but when you see the colour he should be it's very damning.

    I've gone back and forth on picking the Unique toy headmasters up, strictly for putting them next to the G1 bases, think this is the first time I saw a pic with them all.....time to start searching eBay.

    I went back and forth for years, was goi to hold off to see if Mech toy Fans did them, but they tend to upscale to near deluxe. This is better. They interact perfectly.

    Zarak's stats are fine. He's just become so powerful, that his stats are off the charts. You're seeing the very top of the charts.

    Now that it’s somewhat done, I couldn’t wait to share the new shelf.

    For my birthday in March, my mother in law got me a glass display shelf from a local store that was going out of business. I decided to use it for reissues, exclusives, and other items that don’t really fit anywhere else. So eHobby, Heroes of Cybertron, my Argentinian minibots, etc. The room is still kind of a mess, hence the other goodies all over the floor.

    Picked up a couple new to me G1 figures today. Got a beautiful Dead End, missing his pistol, with some minor decal wear, but the prize was a near mint, complete Blitzwing! Now my Decepticon Triple Changers are finally complete!

    I had no idea how much bigger Octane was. 2C2C2CAD-C105-4DFB-868D-A1236ECB447B.jpeg

    A couple scratches on his nose and some decal wear but this Blitzwing is in phenomenal shape. 69A57E51-5804-423D-97DC-9CC215C0BB0C.jpeg

    Poor Octane, I don’t know why his arms aren’t gas tanks/jet engines. I can see why he was the unpopular one. Of course that’s why I bought him. :D  6539437D-11DC-4C66-808D-96BB376EADD9.jpeg

    I’ve been unpacking my toys and other stuff (link in my sig for anyone interested) but finally had chance to have a proper look at my old Transformers Adventure game.

    Love the G1 art on this, and it would appear childhood me kept the relevant pieces in a TRU bag....

    And I took a couple of snaps of the great artwork on the board.

    Now onto the Technobot flyboys starting with the friendly, yet twitchy, Strafe.

    Strafe is that type of bot that has a nice disposition mixed with a nervous condition. Almost anything can set him off. This can be scary given that his nervousness comes with a hair-trigger. And did I mention he’s an ace marksman. Just don’t sneak up on the guy or make any sudden moves around him.

    Strafe transforms into a little Cybertronian star fighter. His shoulder mounted blasters double as the front of the jet which is an odd choice, I think. Those blasters are removable and if they get lost, he’s not gonna look very aerodynamic. As long as he has them, Strafe is a pretty cool looking futuristic spacejet. I really like his wing configurations.

    And his robot mode blaster can be wedged in between the tail fins to beef up his blasting ability, which may not be the smartest idea with this guy. That part is not official by the way. Saw another user do this and I thought it looked cool.

    Strafe is a pretty sweet looking little bot. His shoulder blasters could be removed and used in this mode, but I like to leave them attached. For one, so there’s a less likely chance of losing them and for two, I just really like the look this way. He’s got a very regal quality about him in robot mode. Those shoulder wings are a really nice flourish that works in his favor. Strafe is probably the most elegant looking Technobot, IMO. He’s probably my favorite of the limb-bots for Computron. Now give him an Energon goodie, maybe it’ll calm him down.
