Hi everyone,
It has been a few years since I've logged onto the forum. My collection was bubble wrapped individually and I am thinking of putting them on display again as we have moved places.
However I would like a checklist with pictures in both transformer modes so I can cross them off and see how many are missing.
An online pdf or something similar I can just print off will be great. My collection has grown since my last picture post a few years back.
Thanks guys

Welcome back buddy. I'm sure there is something out there like what you're after :)

hmmm a checklist others may provide but with pictures .... that is another thing altogether. Some of the collectors here, I know have databases kept of their collection - a list of sorts but I doubt if it's with pics attachment for each figure. Your better off getting this - its small and pocketbook sized which is primarily what you may be after - each G1 figure listed in their botmode and altmode - all US released G1 only included. It's a good reference to own anyways and since it's small (although thick) enough it wont take much space in your drawer or shelf.

I have come across the books but I wouldnt dare to cross off anything in them thats why I was hoping there would be a soft copy floating around. Where I can print off and start crossing off.

Pictures and a list... don't think there's anything handy in softcopy.
For pics, TFU.info would be your best online resource.
For a checklist of toys:
You could try printing of a list of Griffin's collection (but no pictures)
http://www.otca.com.au/collection/collection1.html
Or a list from TF Archive
http://tfarchive.com/toys/references/original_american.php
Or a list from Unicron.com
http://www.unicron.com/tfitem/toylist_toys.php?seriesID=3
Or a REALLY long list (but badly ordered IMHO) at Transformerland

TFU.info has got you covered (http://www.tfu.info/ID/index.htm). ;)

thats actually a good site for identifying individually.
the links for each individual bot are pretty good its a shame there isnt a page which has them all which i can just print off. I'm looking at about 200+ transformers and only know the names of about 40

Here's an idea, print these off: :)

Names and photos of (nearly) all the G1 toys. Then you can use the TFU guide for the odds and sods (like Omnibots, Mini-Spies and Powerdashers who didn't make it into the catalogues)

Ship them to me, I'll catalogue them and ship them back to you in individual zip-lock bags per bot.

TFU.info (http://www.tfu.info) is a great site for identifying toys, as they are tagged by colour and alt-mode, and you can search based on those two elements.
I'd love to have one that makes identifying missiles and accessories possible or easy... perhaps even a database that allows you enter in size, colour & shape, or even scan in a photo of a missile, and the database can match it based on its shape, outline or colour.

There used to be. Cobraislandtoys.com were great. I used to use that alot, and even contributed pictures for ones they were missing. Unfortunately they closed down a while ago.

I assumed everyone already knew this, but from the posts above, apparently not. To identify your transformers or weapons, just go here:
http://www.transformerland.com/identify-transformers.html
You can sort by colour, vehicle mode, franchise or type of part.
