It's identical to the original G1 toy in a lot of ways.
Except it only stands 4 inches tall in bot mode.
The transformation is identical to the original.
It was really easy to assemble. Painting was fun.
I'll get some pics of it as soon as I get a camera.

Are there others available as well? Where did you get it from? That would be a great way to pass time and have fun at it.

Also just picked up a G1 Computron will post pics of him when he arrives. Struggled over whether to get him or the reissued Piranacon giftset...will have to pick up the Seacons later on I suppose.

Wow! How did you manage that! Are they all complete? Thrust is worth that by himself. Good job!

I got them from a seller on this site.

They are all complete and from the way they were described in excellent condition. I cant wait to get them.

Nice score!

I've been needing long missiles for my Thrust for quite some time now. Just refuse to pay $20+ for the pair.

Whoo!

After a massive lull in my TF buying stage, I have started up again. I just got the Hot Rod (or is it Rodimus?) and Cyclonus two-pack.

It rocks, and my only complaint is Cyclonus's fail at vehicle mode.

The diecast Matrix is awesome, however.

This came in the mail today as a gift from an awesome friend of mine! A Japanese Takara D-98 G1 Sixshot still MISB

. I want to open him so bad too....

Box says Takara Co. LTD 1987 on the bottom front left corner but I'm going to assume this is the reissue.

I really love these third party transformers companies jumpin on the fan bandwagon! They have been producing neccessary accessories and upgrades for G1 figures and more! I always wondered why my G1 Ironhide and Ratchet did not come with normal robot heads like all the other figures. Without proper heads they looked too much like the GoBots. But little by little thru the years third party companies have kept evolving the head molds for G1 ironhide and Ratchet.

It started with the reissues having a paper cut head versions:

**Then they got upgraded to a real plastic head mold that attached to a slot on the back of the figures. They also were allowed to fold the head down and allow them to stay attached to transform to vech. mode.

**And now the latest upgrade I have find is by a company called GEAR4Toys. Got my set thru BBTS. This upgrade allows the whole figure to look more fuller and what it should have looked like it first came out. It comes with Head attached to a upper chest half attached with more flexible arms. It also comes with hand pistols, an extra light up battery. Yes!!!! One extra cool feature the eyes light up by simply pressing a small button on the back of upgrade.

The only two slight down sides are: 1) You have to use the figures original arms and fold them around to the back of the upgrade pieces and them rest up agaist the piece to keep it attached. The upgrade pieces do not snap on or attach to the slots on the figure's back like the earlier head molds did. 2) These upgrade pieces cannot stay attached when transforming to vech modes. Not that big of a deal though.

Overall I am extremely pleased with the new improved overall look these upgrades give my G1 figures. I love the light up eye feature and the heads do turn a complete 360 degrees around. I highly recommend these latest upgrades if you want to finally give your G1 Ironhide and Ratchet a more fuller robot look!

***Below is a direct link to these upgrades for sale on BBTS. Individually they are priced $29.99 or both together for $56.99.

I'm so happy,.I've just received a G1 plastic Predaking

!Now my little collection has a true masterpiece!

For the Predacons ,my 3 favorite toys are Razorclaw ,Rampage and Divebomb,all of 3 in both modes are very cool,especially the felines, and besides Divebomb in eagle mode is bigger than I expected

.

Predaking is awesome and very imposing,and the wings add a lot to the figure.
glad to have one of them .Thanks Trance !

Sweet! The prices aren't too bad on those. Are you going after the Liokaiser model next?

Those are just too cool! Now they just need to make a leg conversion kit for these two.

I need to do something with mine in that regards, being that they are "headless" I just keep them in vehicle mode...lol.

I got my Predaking from Trance too.

And yeah, he's simply the best looking combiner.....period. Dwarfs all the others by comparison...plus who doesn't love a vicious and ferocious gestalt team like the Predacons! Galvatron: "Predacons! Seek and Destroy!"

Awesome finds everyone!

@ SentinelPrime - Those upgrades look great, especially the last one! I think I'm going to have to get those some day.

I FINALLY found a Generation BLURR. Its the first time I've seen him in stores and he was at TRU. YAY ME lol I also stoped by Borders books today and picked up IDW The Transformers The best of Optimus Prime. This seems like a good read and also has some great artwork for an upcoming tattoo I plan on getting soon. BTW this week I should be getting the Autobot and Decepticon logos on each inner forearm.

Roadbuster · Post by **Roadbuster** » Sat Jan 15, 2011 4:37 pm

Generations Blurr is nice! I can't wait for the next wave to hit stores soon, myself...Got this in the mail today: G1 Computron!

Woohoo!

Galvatron · Post by **Galvatron** » Sun Jan 16, 2011 10:09 am

YAAAY You got Computron!!! Now you and Scrapper need to hook up and have a big battle between Predaking and Computron LOL

Yeah I'm looking at other model kits from that site. Not sure what the next one will be. The box mine came in is completely different than the one shown on the webpage. My box has the image of Galvatron with an Autobot symbol and the name GALBATRON LOL

sounds like someone is afraid of being chased by Hasbro.

OH! And since I'm here, I just picked up the new Tracks and Blurr.

Roadbuster · Post by **Roadbuster** » Sun Jan 16, 2011 7:54 pm

Finally found a Turbo Tracks in my area as well.
