    BW Bonecrusher has panels on his robot legs that flare out if you pull them.

    One of the best realizations about TFs was that there was a G1 character named ERECTOR. OH YEAH OH YEAH

    Ha great thread!

    Man I had G1 Defensor's head mistransformed for a good year before I stumbled upon an ebay auction with a nice big clear photo of him. Didn't realise his head was meant to be rotated so it could sit properly on his upper body...

    also I had no idea the Japanese/south east asian region were big on Transformers till after I joined these forums. Always thought they were a western thing

    Golden Phoenix transformed Cybertron Defense Red Alert today and pulled out tools that were stored inside the legs. I never had any idea they were there.

    Did you know that THS02 Convoy can actually collapse his legs?

    I didn't know until 2 months ago! (:

    You also didn't know where the gun/arm tool base went. But hey, knowing is half the battle!

    It's funny... I've played w/ other people's G1 Getaway figures plenty of times, but it wasn't until I finally got my own and placed him on my 1988 Autobots shelf that I realised that he's substantially taller than Joyride and Slapdash. Bomp.

    Was this him?

    If so, the animators must have been having a great time drawing these cells!
