Things you never realised about Transformers (toys etc)

I'd say it's a throwback to G1 Whirl's origins; The VH-64MR Ovelon Gazette

Cool! I guessed it referenced something from the original figure but wasn't sure where to check that out - also thought it might reference the alt mode type (possibly the Japanese designation)... I know the "64" is consistent with the Apache but other than the side mounted engines and sponsons it's all Cobra to my eye. I'm probably trying to read too much into this!!

I never realised how big Beast Wars Transmetal 2 Dinobot II was, I knew he was a deluxe class figure but in my head I always pictured the toy being roughly basic in size. probably due to looking at pictures of it online when I was a kid and the pics were horrible tiny low quality pics, making me think the figure was tiny too, having it in hand now I am actually pleased to see that he is nice and big (well a pretty average deluxe size)

I had no idea about the female characters Shadowstalker & Twirl and their corresponding toys! These characters have turned up in the latest Transformers: Legends comp. I knew about Howlback but did not know the character was female. Always chuffed to find out about characters I did not know about and new figures to covet

I get the feeling the TF Legends game makers are just going through the TFWiki list of Female Transformers and picking ones at random to use in their fembot vs femcon episodes

I transformed movie slug back to beast mode last night, and noticed that when you plug his swords into his side, the post hole is actually the hole in his fists, that's some neat design work right there.

I've had the figure for about six weeks, but I only realised today that you can fold back the hand of Prime FE Vehicon and plug the gun into the slot, giving him a gun arm. It's been annoying me since I got him that he can't hold the weapon properly, and this alternate transformation rectifies that.

I just found out that strafes swords can attach to his crossbow, something a few reviews of him I've seen have missed. I decided to turn it into a bow.

That's pretty sick.

That's really cool. Strafe also looks to have some crisp paint apps.
