any fans of the original line?

I only own Starscream and Sandstorm out of the twelve but I do own all the molds in other color schemes.

 

I only had Starscream when the line was new and then got Thundercracker at a yard sale about ten years later.

 

Had Hubcap, Mirage, Megatron and Megaplex as a kid, found them at a Big Lots or something as a kid right around when Beast Machines was starting on TV. Would later pick up the Universe repaints of Whirl, King Atlas, and Soundwave.

 

back in the day I thought the "automorph" gimmick was pretty cool. I really liked the tow trucks and starscream. the rest were kinda "meh".

 

I remember buying the whole line at a KBToys outlet store back in 96 I think.

 

I just completed the line like last month

SO GLAD

 

It was a great way to get the European exclusives back then, albiet repainted.

 

I just had Megaplex.

Pretty sure they got Megaplex and Megatron mixed up... Megaplex has a more Megatron-y color scheme. Plus, Megaplex's card out is pretty clearly the teal Megatron.

But regardless, I really like the mold. Don't care for the Rafale mold as much, but the Tow Truck one looks really cool.

 

Came before my time, but I always thought the designs were cool and I've been thinkin about picking up some of the figures.

 

I got Optimus Prime for Christmas in 96 or 97 and I remember I was suped lol, just annoyed that the robot mode looked NOTHING like the bio card on the back

 

I am a machine wars fan, i own two of the figures ( Starscream and soundwave) and i intend to finnish the line in due time. I am excited to see what the toys for this years Botcon set will look like.

 

I remember a steel roller rack outside a local store back in the 90s with a bunch of these guys on clearance. "Machine Wars? What is this?" I said as I moved on with my life.... kinda looking forward now to seeing what FP has in store.

 

I remember these.... Back in the good old days when I was younger  

The Kaybee closer to my house also had Laser Optimus Prime from the G2 line on clearance. I got him and Machine Wars Soundwave. Sigh those were the days..

 

I had gotten out having toys when Machine Wars came out. But I do love the line. I actually acquired the complete line several years ago but ended up having to sell the line a couple years ago due to my ex-wife divorcing me. I just don't have the funds to get the line back again. :-(

 

I still have quite a few:

Hubcap
Megatron
Mirage
Optimus Prime
Prowl
Sandstorm
Soundwave
Starscream


Some are missing weapons and or accessories.

Overall a nice line of transformers.

 

I remember playing with Hoist and remarking that all TFs will be like this someday  

 

Never had any of these figures. I'm interested to see their aftermarket price now begin to go up  

 

Loved Starscream, Soundwave and Prime (Though They should have molded a faceplate for Prime instead of using Thunderclash's unaltered head)
