You shouldn't be so expensive![/quote]

I second that. Especially since you are so darned ugly in Bot mode. I got a Chinese Ko verson for $12. That is it for you other then newer ones. I do happen to know where a G2 vers of you is for $30. Gonna get that one.

It's Shrapnel, but I would like to see further details on that one, as mine has a different head mold. Is it vintage, knock-off or a reissue?

Man! I thought that would be harder! It's original. Inside his "cockpit" it says Hasbro Takara 1980, 1983, etc. Do you want to see the face? He does have a variant gun.

Edit: as for dates on re-issues, my Ultra Magnus re-issue doesn't say 200X on the markings like the seekers do. The cab is in too good of shape to be original. Can someone check their UM re-issue just to confirm?

I got to looking and Thundercracker and Skywarp have 1980, 200X; but Starscream just has 1984.

Anywho, Jose's turn!

It may take me a while to think of a good challenge, so if someone else has a suitable picture, is fine. I will post one later.

Kyle, your picture actually taught me something new on Shrapnel, as I didn't know that variation. I have just noticed that mine doesn't just have a different rear of the head, but also both antennae have different mold injection points. This difference doesn't appear in Fred's Workshop site, so it's a great discovery in my opinion and I will have to go through my friends' Insecticons! I could recognize the whole contour and the back pattern, but it's very different... I now have to figure out which is earlier.

Regarding the jets copy stamps, there's a Thundercracker all blank which is a "transitional" piece. I have seen this variation twice. It's original too, so believe first in your gut rather than your eyes. ;)

Well, Delita, seems your game a solved a mystery (or created one).

Jose, my buddy got or is getting the Insecticons. I will compare the two a report back.

I'll swoop on your turn. I made it harder, I hope.

It looks like a modern roller coaster mechanism for one of those that travels underneath the tracks....

Apart from that comparison, I got nothing! :shock: :? :lol:
