To celebrate the 30th anniversary of Transformers, I shall be hosting a series of games based on the "Thrilling 30" theme - i.e. each game will draw from each of the thirty years' of the Transformers' past and present. :) Playing without cheating is always more fun. :)

Scorponok or Black Zarak
Iron Fist
Dreadwing
A micromaster jet - Treadbolt
G2 Thundercracker
ThunderClash
G2 Megatron

A cross between Machine Wars Cheetor and MumRah - Magmatron

Movie Devastator
PCC Dinoking
Movie Sentinel prime
Prime Knockout
Prime Predaking
Movie Teaser for 2014 Age of Extinction
Opps didn't see the part where we had to name everyone, Sorry.:o
Iamtrunks is close, but there's no Ironfist, Dreadwing or Megaplex in that pic... ;)
you're welcome to edit my list further. they were my best guesses, and Silverbolt, it was on the tips of my fingers:o.
That doesn't look anything like the Jhiaxus that I remember from the old comics.
1988 Guzzle
Think that covers it.Quote:

Okay, Rules for Game 3:
1. Make a list of 30 Transformers names.
2. They must be in alphabetical order.
3. As there are 26 letters in the alphabet, you have four "spares" which you may use to double up on the same letter. You may not double up more than once on the same letter, thus the same letter may only be used twice at the most and for no more than four letters.
Here's an example using Star Wars characters:
Aayla Secura
Anakin Skywalker
Boba Fett
C-3PO
Cody
Dooku
Eeth Koth
Fives
Greedo
Han Solo
IG-88
Jabba the Hutt
Kyle Katarn
Lobot
Mace Windu
Mon Mothma
Nien Nunb
Obi-Wan Kenobi
Padmι Amidala
Poggle the Lesser
Quinlan Vos
R2-D2
Shmi Skywalker
Thrawn
Unduli
Vader
Wuher
Xizor
Yoda
Zekk

In some cases, it may even be the only Transformer ever to have that function. ;) Good luck! :D

Okay, this one's really simple. Pick ONE toy for each "Transformer year" and tell us a few words about it. :) It doesn't have to be your favourite toy for that year, you can even pick your most hated toy... whatever. You can totally pick a toy from that year at random and say something about it. :D
So two basic rules:
1/ You may only talk about ONE toy for each year. You may skip a year if you do not own any toys from it.
2/ It MUST be a toy from your current personal collection.
---------------------------------
Okay, so here's my turn:
1984: Thundercracker. One of the most interesting Decepticon characters from G1, but also IMHO the coolest looking of the first year Jets. That metallic blue is just gorgeous and works so well with the black, red and silver.
1985: Beachcomber. Just a really lovely little toy. I used to pretend that the vents on his arms could shoot lasers, despite his pacifistic nature.
1986: Ratbat. I would walk into stores and see him sitting on pegs and thinking about buying him, but also realising that I already had Frenzy (albeit w/ silver guns, and all the Frenzy w/ Ratbats I saw had gold guns). I couldn't justify getting another Frenzy just for Ratbat though. But by late '86 I caved and just bought the damn thing. ;) Can't say I'll be making the same decision for MP Ratbat though. :p
1987: Battletrap. My first Duocon which I won as a prize from a newspaper competition that I entered in 1986 as part of a promotion for The Transformers The Movie. I'd sent in a LOT of fully coloured Transformers drawings, and then totally forgot about the competition assuming that I didn't win anything despite hours of effort. But then in early 1987, one morning as I was getting ready to go to school, there was a knock on the door and a package delivered with MY name on it (I'd never had that happen before!). And lo an behold, it was Battletrap! I ripped the toy opened and was playing with it on the way to school and even surreptitiously played with it during morning assembly.
1988: Gunrunner. What a stupid toy. I actually painted some glitter on the barrel of the gun to make it look like it was shooting. Looked lame, thankfully the glitter was easy to clean off later. This was also the year that I started displaying my Transformers on book shelves, and Gunrunner took up a considerable amount of space for such a crap toy.
1989: Swindler. He looks like he'd travel through time if he could drive up to 142km/h. Just needs a lightning bolt and flux capacitor.
1990: Devastator. My Long Haul toy had been broken back in '85 by some stupid kid at school, thus my Constructicons were unable to form Devastator. So I picked up Action Master Devvie as a means of "cheating". During toy play all my Constructicons would gather round and say, "Combine!", then I'd brush them aside and replace them with a diminutive AM Devastator! :p Had to squint real hard and suspend disbelief! ;) And of course, I was able to use AM Devvie to play the reconstructed Devastator who's unable to separate as seen in the G1 comics.
1991: Gripper. My favourite Motorvator. He has a cameo in Dark Cybertron! Blast those Ammonites, pew pew pew! :cool:
1992: Like a Boss.
1993: Deftwing. Toywise my favourite of the Lightformers.
1994: Hero Megatron. I couldn't believe the crazy amount of articulation on this toy! :eek:
1995: Laser Optimus Prime. I couldn't believe the even crazier amount of articulation on this toy, and this awesome thing called light piping! Whhhooooaaa!! :eek: So cool!
1996: Terrorsaur, one of my favourite flipchangers. I wish the cartoon model was more toy-accurate, as I personally prefer the full sized wings on the toy that were greatly reduced in the cartoon. Gives him a more majestic presence IMHO. I also prefer the purple helmet as it helps to break up all that red, and I personally prefer the hand gun over shoulder cannons that magically grow from his shoulders in the 'toon.
1997: Tripredacus. Gestalt perfection!
1998: Lio Convoy. He has a Matrix! Okay sure, it's permanently attached to his chest, but at the time he was the ONLY Transformer toy in existence who had a Matrix! Phwoar!
1999: Tigerhawk. I could never find the Ultra TM2s in local stores. Hasbro USA sent me both of them as free gifts. :D Tigerhawk is my favourite of the pair.
2000: Super Mach Alert. Beast Wars level of toy design/engineering now with a licensed vehicle alt mode, in this case a Lamborghini Diablo which is also used by Italian highway patrol! Sweeet!
2001: Optimus Prime. The non-metallic red and cheap looking lighter grey aren't as nice as the colours on Super Fire Convoy, and I prefer the sound chip on SFC too, but the chrome on RiD OP is a lot better. What's this? Split tyres?!? Nnnooooooo!!!
2002: Road Rage. Yaaay, I finally owned that red looking Tracks on the back of all the 1985 packaging and catalogue, and she's now an official character.
2003: Unicron. After 17 years, finally!
2004: MP-1 Convoy. wow. such masterpiece. much amaze. woof.
2005: Shortround. A transforming robot toy who collects transforming robot toys. Lol.
2006: Classics Mirage. Such a sweet toy, and designed by an Aussie!
2007: Leader Class Movie Optimus Prime. Arguably the greatest OP toy made since Laser OP. And of course, Leader Class OPs continued go from strength to strength until Age of Extinction broke that improvement streak. :(
2008: Blitzwing. My personal QC nightmare story. :rolleyes:
2009: Overcharge. He's a taxi! Fantastic robot in disguise. Too bad the toy is otherwise rubbish. :(
2010: Buzz Lightyear. Very clever idea and I love the Headmaster gimmick. Not worth full quid, but managed to get him on sale.
2011: Wheeljack (United). Aaah, just before TFs started declining in value for money. I'd been searching for months to find Generations Wheeljack (plus others from his wave) locally, but could never find them. I was able to get other Generations figures eventually, but Wheeljack always eluded me, and when I was in Taipei I caved and bought an imported United version for about AU$35. Then about a week after returning to Australia, I found Generation Wheeljacks at my local Kmart for $25. :o
2012: Masterpiece Optimus Prime. $150 at Toys R Us, and what felt like 150 hours' worth of phone calls to Hasbro AU, TRU Headquarters and every TRU branch in Sydney for weeks leading to the toy's release and day after its initial sighting until finally found one for myself. Ppphhheww!
2013: MP Prowl, in all his table flipping awesomeness. :)
2014: Ace Vehicon. To date still the ONLY Transformer I've bought locally this year. :o
