Hey there!!!! Im new to this site and Im a transformer collector. Ive been collecting these ever since I can remember. Im from El Salvador so that made it alot harder cuz not many kids hade these growing up, plus when I found some I had to pay lots of dolars for them. Anyways most of these are some I have found in garage sales, or friends of mine. Now i live in alabama and I want to get this moving, so if you want to hook me up, well here I am, plus i was looking at the price for some of these and their great just need to save up some money.

Here are some pics, there not the best but most were donated! beggers cant be choosers!

Welcome to the boards! That's a great collection. Diaclone Grimlock? And what's that big opened-up tank thing in the bottom pic? Very cool. Hope you have fun here, we're all pretty nice.




Ramjet is in the sticker book!

Sweet collection luiseriberto. Welcome to TFL and enjoy. The guys here are full of crazy off the wall info. I love the G2 stuff you have. Especially the Superion. Considere selling him? Countdown looks like he needs a cleaning, too many launches I guess. :wink:

Thanks, and as for superion well i actually would want to get rid of my G2 and stick with g1 but as for now i MAY consider trades. But Since i dont have a g1 superion he's filling the vacancy, if you know what I mean.


Oh yeah my grimlock i guess is a fake cuz it does say takara on it.

NO way is that grimlock a fake. He's a pre TF version from a series called dia clone/microman. You can tell as he's got a blue crotch. the TF ones are red. He is far rarer.

Ramjet that thing in the bottm pic is countdowns base I presume. Nice for a donated/scourged collection.

well most of my tf were donated, which means kids played with them and later they became adults and let me have them so they were missing parts being in El Salvador, and a teenager, i didnt have the money nor any idea were i could get those parts but know that I found TFL They are going to come back to life, I did my best in "fixing them" but... they were far from looking good.

Always nice to see new members, and such a fine first post with collection pics and everything! :D :wink:

Love your combiners on the bottom shelf - I am yet to get any... thinking of starting things with the classic Devastator, but then again I like Bruticus too...

Hope to see more pics soon - enjoy your stay with us

Uh that is a G2 sideswipe. The more interesting one is the white SS, right below the G2 SS. Correct me if I am wrong but that is Clampdown. I
think Deepcover was the black one right? Ehobby stuff. I also didn't see the green Topspin before. That is 8) .

what is that ramjet? I've never seen one of them before.

BTW: It looks like someone has put revel model jet missiles and bombs onto those wings as the bombs/misiles are still plastic grey.

There are indeed fakes of the Diaclone Grimlock, and the brown chest makes me believe it's one of them I am afraid... A mint KO is usually chromed like the original, but the plastic underneath looks like the giveaway clue to me.

Also, that album looks exactly like the one we had in Chile, is it the version issued in El Salvador?
