    I didn't know this was a thread. I wish I had some RID 2001 stuff.

    Yeah, not all the time but mine does this as well occasionally. Not to the point where I have felt the need to find an engineering solution but when it does, it’s a bit annoying.

    My Brave Max body is currently “possessed” by megatron megabolt, with teeny-tiny scourge, giving the orders, like that time in the cartoon!

    Here are some Spy Changer and Predacon shots that I took earlier in the week...

    I have the box set of the clear Autobot Bros that I’m inclined to sell. Only opened when I first got it to inspect them. Not sure how to find out actual worth. Any suggestions?

    Can anyone speak to how well Optimus/Fire Convoy holds up in 2020? Thinking about picking one up.

    I have the original Fire Convoy 2nd edition from 2000. It was in opened/ great condition. Never had batteries and barely transformed; purchased in 2018. It's all more than good.

    It’s a great toy. Chromed and with rubber tires it feels very premium quality. The design is partsformery and it you are cool with that, it holds up great.

    Does anybody have both RiD Optimus Prime and Car Robots Super Fire Convoy?

    I've been looking for good pictures to compare the plastics. I've heard that the Japanese release uses sparkly red vs. the Western release's flat red plastic.

    I just might be interested in taking those off your hands if you still have them.

    I want to build a team of Autobots with Generations Drift. The idea would be "what if a piece of the Ark shuttle landed in Japan and was discovered in the 2000s?"

    No characters from the original G1 show. Characters heavily influenced by Japanese culture.... and I'm not sure. I'm working on it.

    Thinking of getting Rail Racer (again). If anyone has a pic of Drift and Rail Racer that would be great. The one I made is a photoshop of me guessing the size difference:
