The first issue was black and white (well, black and yellow) and had a competition for a silver Crasher. I think Zod was the cliffhanger. The second issue dealt with the battle with Zod and had a competition for a gold Baron Von Joy (one of which I won, though I no longer have it.)

I thought if anyone would have these comics it would be someone here so... anyone?

I've got 3 comics - the 2 that are in the link you added, and another 1 called "Space Wars II" - so I guess that's the second one you're talking about...?

It's in full colour and has the Gold Baron Von Joy Comp you mentioned! Basically, Zod frees Cy-Kill and his Renegades and they flee to earth. The Guardians chase them and they battle - which seems to lead towards the 3rd comic's story...

Awesome, Robzy. Do you have a scanner (and if so could you please scan it for me whenever you get the time?) Or if not, could I please borrow the comic to do so? I'd really like it if we could update the Machine Men section of this website http://counter-x.net/index.php with correct information and resources for the Australian franchise.

Yeah sure :) I'll try and scan it in the next few days!

Hey Homes

I can see Galvatron's arm cannon holder, Menasor's right fist & foot, Devastator's left fist, Bonecrusher's little green gun, and black Devastator's arms (is this a variant maybe?)

You've got one complete weapon stand, that came with each of the small Seacons. The small Seacons each had a weapon mode also, and these stands were what you put them on in this mode. They were identical for each Seacon.

The grey gun on the left goes with Nautilator, and the big black fist with the spike is one of Piranacon's fists.

They are (L-R) Singe (who pairs with Spinister), Zigzag and Sunbeam (who pair with Needlenose)

I bought the legless Action master Wheeljerk and 1 leg missing tracks and put them in my bag

I bought the legs as a joke initially, jokingly thinking about putting them on tracks and wheeljack- i got the legs for a steal, $1 each from the overly generous Llamatron.

the more i thought about it, the more it made sense to put them on.

So tracks has 2 legs again which makes him more playable and can stand

plus, i doubt i will find their individual legs and i doubt i will find the complete figures for a cheap price

i combined G1 Devastator for the first time yesterday

I dont think anything is broken

but the bit that Longhaul is meant to slide on to seems to be loose, he doesn't sit firmly in there

and because of the top half of Devastator seems to face forwards/down

how do people play with this thing ? It falls apart when you touch it
