I got the Takara reissue Megs that comes in a book-like box along with the WST and the Energon ones too

I've also got a repaired transmetsl megatron. But I really want the G2 one and the transmetals 2 megs.

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.

You can never have enough of me!! lol!!

fair enough but the first one of you is still ugly

It is, the Megatron toy was a horrible robot mode. High forehead, deep set features, my god it was vile looking!!

Is it G1?

Hints already?

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?

Dont know about the Ultra Magnus but my Soundwave tru has the 80's compywrite on the inside

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.



Man, my TF's are dusty up close!

Clean 'em!! I haven't a clue.

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

Apart from that comparison, I got nothing!

Ultra Magnus?

Nope. I'll post a clue in a couple days if no one gets it.

the hand of Superion Maximus, Energon. Someone else can go next, i don't have anything here to take pictures of!

Ha! There's no foolin' you guys! Someone else go.
