Amph The Transformers. More than meets the eye!

The origin of Galvatronus/Grand Galvatron is that following the end of "The Headmasters", Cyclonus finds Galvatron's body and winds up becoming "possessed" by Galvatron's mind, which then leads them to Unicron who summons Starscream, Breakdown, Thrust and Roller and re-formats them into a team.

You can compare and contrast the G1 and G2 Generations Aerialbots.




That is the prototype figure for Generations Blaster.

I think it would make more sense to have the Transformers interacting with ROM and the Micronauts, while the Joes would be mixed up with the Visionaries and MASK.

"Unite Warriors" Blast Off, who is a brand new mold and will have some differences to the other combiners. This version will be sold as part of Takara's box set and will be sold at mass retail.

 

Awesome Primal

I miss Beast Wars

 

Man, if I had won the lottery, I would go back and recreate my collection and then expand upon it using both the original figures and the Classics/Generations versions. As well as third party figures.

Speaking of "Beast Wars", I was no longer collecting, but I thought that they weren't bad. A benefit I find of being an adult collector, whether you are one or not, is that you can be wiser about what you purchase than when you are a kid. You can really think about what you want as an adult and especially after examining the toys and watching the cartoons. I would mix and match to meet my standards.



For instance, I'm not fond of Predacon Galvatron and Magmatron. But I do like Gigatron and I would use him as a Predacon leader against Lio Convoy.

 

I've seen you talk of having mixed feeling of Beast Wars before. I've got to ask why? 2ndQuest is going against the grain here, I must know.

Is it just toy related or show also?

 

i have so many first wave transformers, but they sure aren't in the original boxes

 

I admit that I was uncertain of "Beast Wars" when it first began. Not so much the organic beast modes, but how it seemed as it if was a reboot of the storyline. I didn't realize that it was supposed to be a continuation of G1 and didn't until after the show was over and off the air. I had only watched a few episodes. It has given me more of a pause and a chance to re-asses the whole thing. Then I tried to give "Car Robots"/"Robots In Disguise" a try, but I just couldn't get into it. But I did enjoy "Armada" quite a bit, once they got to episode 16. I never got a chance to watch all of "Energon".

When they first came out, or through E-Bay and other venues?

Which do you prefer; Primal Prime or Optimal Optimus?




And just for **** and giggles...














This is why I love the Classics/Universe/Timelines/United/Henkei/Generations lines. A whole variety of Seekers. The other size classes and other lines never reach that level. It's a shame they didn't get to do these, before retiring the mold.











Those are all custom or knock off figures.

darth-sinister

Hey, Just wanted to say hello and tell you that because of your avatar, I bought the the three japanese dvd sets of Transformers: Head Masters, Super God Master Force, and Victory. I'm about ten episodes into Headmasters and it's great to see the show like that again. I hated seeing Optimus die again, Rodimus leaveing all together, and now the show is basically phasing the old g1 out and focusing on the Headmasters and the combiner teams. It's fun though, so thanks for making me spend the money.

 

Yeah, with "The Headmasters", the idea that head writer Masumi Kaneda had was that "youth is king" and that younger warriors are smarter than their older, more experienced counterparts. Course, this was due to how many characters who were still alive as of "The Return Of Optimus Prime". It was a rather large cast at the time.

Autobots: Optimus Prime, Hot Rod/Rodimus Prime, Kup, Blurr, Ultra Magnus, Jazz, Goldbug, Wreck-Gar, Seaspray, Beachcomber, Powerglide, Perceptor, Cliffjumper, Sideswipe, Hound, Smokescreen, Inferno, Grimlock, Sludge, Slag, Snarl, Swoop, Blaster/Twincast, Steeljaw, Ramhorn, Rewind, Eject, Metroplex, Omega Supreme, Sky Lynx, Sunstreaker, Warpath, Cosmos, Red Alert, Grapple, Searchlight, Chase, Freeway, Wideload, Rollbar, the Aerialbots, the Protectorbots, the Technobots, Tracks, Scamper, Sixgun, Pipes, Tailgate, Outback, Swerve, Wheelie, Arcee, Springer, Sandstorm and Broadside.

Decepticons: Galvatron, Cyclonus, Scourge, Starscream, Dirge, Ramjet, Thrust, Astrotrain, Blitzwing, Soundwave/Soundblaster, Laserbeak, Ravage, Rumble, Freenzy, Ratbat, Buzzsaw, Slugfist, Overkill, Octane, the Constructicons, the Stunticons, the Combaticons, the Predacons, the Terrorcons, Trypticon, Brunt, Full-Tilt, the Sweeps and the Sharkticons.

And that's before you add in all the new characters. When you look at the later lines, they've phased out certain characters in order to focus on new ones. And yeah, it was weird seeing new cartoons in this era long after they had ended. At least as far as we knew back then. It also grinds my gears that we never got the chance to have some of those toys. I understand why, but 8 to 13 year old me is rather annoyed.
