It’s still happening. The better part of 30 years after the fact, and not 6 months after our last article on ‘new’ vintage pre-Transformers and Transformers discoveries, we’ve managed to cobble together another bunch of items which may or may not have been commonly documented or known about in the past. Thanks to the ever growing knowledge-base and resourcefulness of vintage pre-TF and TF collectors, this hobby continues to serve up surprises and challenge established beliefs.

Excellent article as always.

 

nice read, variants and new things are always nice to discover

 

wow man thanks for the shout out. I always read your articles as soon as I see them and they never disappoint. I will send you some more pictures of another transformer you may want to look at soon  

 

Another superb article Maz, particularly interesting to me are the featured Mini-bot variations. I thought I was gonna be finished with Gears once I had the pre-rub and '85 versions, but the purplish one is another must-have.  

 

Same here!

Keep them coming!

 

It's always interesting to read of these variants and finds! The Mecha Warrior is especially cool  

 

I love these articles. It is so cool that new discoveries are still being made after all this time. I especially like that black Sideswipe. What a great looking toy.

 

Awesome read, Maz!  

 

Thanks for the kind words everyone  

It really is an incredibly nice looking colour, coffin-box Micro Change Series mini cars are always beautiful  

All the best

Awesome.

Which of transformers database would be the most complete?

http://www.tf-1.com/cat_frame.php?cat=eurous <--- love this btw

 

Can you be a bit more specific about what you're looking for in a TF database? I'm not sure one exists that lists every single moulding/International or packaging variation. That would be a desperately difficult task. I wouldn't mind helping make one with what I know about Diaclone, Euro TFs, Mex TFs, minibots etc.

Cheers for the kind words, that section on TF-1 is seriously underpopulated. Just comes from the fact that I don;t really buy Transformers any more compared to pre-TFs, however I have got all the pictures I need to produce a decent article on Ceji Transformers as an overview compared to the bits and pieces I have added to TFsource.

All the best
