Nice stuff.

I managed to [with the help of a timely distraction] get a hold of a few more micromaster patrols.

air patrol - seems to be complete with all members in decent condition.

monster truck patrol. Missing heavy tread and Slow poke has no wheels.

Alright guys. Let's smear blue paint everywhere on these ones and sell them again. We can make 'em store exclusives so they're more desirable!

How tall is he? Thank Primus you took him out of the box. Jealous.

EDIT:Never mind, saw the pics in the other thread.

Those Dinoforce are so cool. I never see them here, and couldn't afford them anyway. I'm glad I can enjoy them vicariously through Dez!

There's no way I couldn't not take him out his box - he's awesome. Thankfully, the cupboard he's in has a sliding door to keep him dust free. I've only removed the figure, trailer and twin guns too - the accessories are staying in the box, stored safely. The Roller that comes with this one has red seats, instead of blue on the other one, so it's even a Nemesis Roller 8)

The best thing about these hybrids is that they transform in about 95% the same way as the masterpiece versions, despite only being about 1/10th of the size. The only real difference is in the forearms, that have "covers" on the hybrid versions, whereas on the MPs the hands come out of the arm itself. All the chest, head, legs transform in the same way, with even a removable matrix from the tiny version to match the MPs. I'll take more detailed photos at some point comparing them :wink:

I agree with you Sunstorm..the hybrids are very similar to masterpiece versions. I have both the red and the black versions of him! Very cool articulation!!!

Just received this today! It's a Mint conditioned Diaclone
Pre-Transformers Triple-Changer Helicoptor Robo.
He was never released into the Transformers toyline. He changes from robot to plane to helicoptor. The stamp on one of his wings states: Takara Co. LTD. 1980-1984 Japan. Stickers were unapplied and the missles are still attached to the tree! :D The only downer is the blades do not detach when in robot or plane mode. Esp. in plane mode it's a little unbalanced due to the blades.

It reminds me of the later release of a targetmaster figure called Spinister, design-wise. Here's the pics of it:

***Here's a pic of Spinister..tell me it doesn't look similiar in design somewhat:
