Things you never realised about Transformers (toys etc)

Sadly the chrome quality on this toy is rubbish and highly prone to flaking. This toy was a bit of a peg warmer, so I'm surprised you never noticed before.

I didn't get back into TFs until the year 2003.

I don't own MP11 Starscream, but I just Google searched an image of his tech specs card and discovered that his function isn't Air Commander (航空参謀) but actually Neo Emperor of Destruction (新破壊大帝)! Which of course makes sense since he does come with the coronation kit... so ya know... Neo Emperor of Destruction for a whole minute.

For those who may not know, Megatron's function in Japan isn't Leader, but "Emperor of Destruction." Galvatron's function in Japan is not "City Commander," but "Neo Emperor of Destruction." So MP11's tech specs establishes Starscream as being Neo Emperor of Destruction for a brief moment before the title was taken by Galvatron. I guess this means Galvatron did attempt to fill in his shoes.

Never saw this until Windsweeper arrived yesterday....

The vertical fins on cw skydive/air raid/thrust/g2skydive/g2 air raid/cicadacon/terrorsaur/windsweeper can be folded down to the horizontal!

When playing as Swindle in FOC, his vehicle machine gun auto aims for you. I just discovered that yesterday. I never used the machine gun, always his missiles. Made me realise how little Swindle needed his vehicle mode in that game aside from the start of the level.

This is why I'm appreciative of Devastation giving players a far greater impetus to switch between robot and alternate modes.
