Is he an upgrade of Siren? What Siren destroyed?

Your welcome Sentinnel. As for Siren I think it is more of a recolor/same mold thing. Though Siren was never seen again after the battle with Unicron in the comics. Tho many were killed off during that.

They look like this, Cliffjumper;

You can see small rings along the jet trail, evenly spaced apart...

@TT - thanks for that, I genuinely didn't know they were looking at stuff like that as early as the 40's, although I recently saw a very well presented long documentary that dispelled a lot of UFO theories by showing all sorts of weird and wonderful technologies that were being used by the US, Russia and even the Nazis in Germany in the 40s and 50s. They found a dishevilled structure in Germany that is widely thought to be a launch pad for early saucer-type vehicles. Fascinating stuff

Now you're speaking my language. I'm betting that the launch pad was at either Peenemünde or Kbely, and they were probably testing some sort of VTOL interceptor. Many concept drawings were found after the war, including a UFO shaped one called the "flugelrad" (flying wheel), which was a saucer with a single large rotor blade ringing the disk. Another, (which was redesigned and built by the US in the 50's from the original drawings) was an annular wing design.... imagine a long plane fuselage with a large annulus or ring around the middle as a wing, and in the ring there are two large counterrotating props... it's called the Lerche.
like this, but bigger... turns out the damn thing works.

A few new things I picked up over the weekend.

I love garage sales....my wife hates them. Says I come home with too much stuff (ie "CRAP")

Picked up a couple of older movie figures that I missed the first time around (and was surprised to see them still in the stores) and my first-ever scout class.

@ Hot Shot - Wow not bad! You found those on garage sales??

I went to 3 flea markets yesterday and came home with 2 partly broken Micromasters and a TF Movie poster. Considering how hard it is to find tf stuff nowadays I thought is was quite lucky after all ...how tragic

Hot Shot · Post by **Hot Shot** » Sun Jun 01, 2008 5:14 am

@Minerva - No not all was from Garage sales....some were trades off of another board and a couple from ebay...but most were from a garage sale. The kid was getting out of collecting....more interested in buying a new car he said so I bought up all that he had.

Dinobot · Post by **Dinobot** » Mon Jun 02, 2008 1:00 am

@Ramjet: Did they make the complete line of the new He-man stuff as far as the figures go? I have been thinking about collecting the new stuff.

They didn't get to everyone, and they started in 2002, I guess. I gotta get these guys in the mail before I start to like them too much!
