Oh and LD2062 whoever you bought that halfshell from dissassembled him and puts his legs back in wrong (and hence the gold plastic snapped in one when I tried to transform him). I fixed him by mixing and matching parts with the yellowed one I already had here.

I'm not entirely sure to tell you the truth.

From the colouring I'd say its a KO{I think a real graphy is red.} its made of decent quality plastic though.

Good call. I don't see those four often enough to know their colors, but i thought i recalled one being that greenish gray. He looks awful thick in cassette mode. Does he fit in a standard player, or do you need a doublewide like soundblaster?

standard player [its normal cassette size]. {The real graphy is indeed red with black cassette markings: http://tfieds.com/large_picture.php?id=12004 .}

I'm happy with my $20 KO though. {Considering a real Graphy would set me back $500!!!!}

stratossphere alt mode looks great but the bot mode....

Seconded Kup. Alt-mode is bit odd...From the front not too bad but the side where you can see the entire wing and the weird bird legs. Though I can understand that because it is some thing that flies in the sky. Overall not a good looking bot.

SP, I have a color variant of that Convertor, I think... and I know this is a REALLY stupid question, but...

How do I transform it? I'm beginning to think mine is broken, because I can't get ANY parts to move (it's in truck mode)

A while back I was supposed to go over to one of my mothers coworkers houses to look at a bin of transformers. But it had to be rescheduled, and then yesterday they were speaking about it and arranged to do it today. Although while they were talking she mentioned how some of them were the spiderman and star wars ones. So I went expecting a toybox full of action figures.

Surprise surprise when I arrived to go through the boxes 1 whole 25 gallon bin did turn out to be Beast wars, with a pile of boxes, card backs and instructions even. Sadly the toys were in the normal kids toy state of partial deconstruction. But a very surprising amount of the pieces where there.

So I spent 3 hours or so sorting all the toys, labeling as much of the action figures as I could and reassembling the transformers. As I prefer to be fair and honest I resisted the temptation to just offer her $200 bucks for the lot and see if she take it. Instead I did tell her what I thought they where each worth and what I'd pay considering all but a few would be resold. Upside - she is unlikely to be totally ripped off, down side - I didn't come home with 80% of the entire BW line.

She kept most of them to await her adult son's approval for sale, including an optimal optimus in box with instructions and all accessories save 1 clear missile, which I have 4 of already, and seeming randomly accepted my offer on somethings. Not just the cheapest either, sold me depthcharge with box, but not transmetal megatron in box.

I left my number and a list of my offer for each thing left. Hopefully my help edges out any other offer that might be higher, not that I think any dealer would offer more. But the son's friend is talking about opening a toy store so friendship might favor him more.

Anyway I came home with:

boxed:
depthcharge
cybershark
transquit0
MW soundwave
MW optimus

Loose:
tranmetal optimus primal - complete
transmetal tarantulas - complete
transmetal cheetor complete
transmetal 2 cheetor
white dinobot
waspinator
bat vs crock set with comic- damaged optimus & 1 sword
g2 air raid cyberjet complete with whole package card
g2 aerialbot air raid
action master jackpot with sights
action master glitch

A bag of loose accessories, from who knows, what but definitely most aren't transformers.

The package backs for everything, even for the bots she didn't sell me. And I told her they had value, but she didn't bother sorting them and sold me the lot.

And 8 mcdonalds ones, BW & BM

Kinky, Overlord! You've been looking for those for those for at least two years now, haven't you? (Or am I thinking of someone else?)

Nice finds everyone! :)
@ LD2062 - it must have been really interesting to go through all those Transformers!
