    I googled up images of the 'Impossible Toys Tetrajets' and thought they looked pretty good - for something that shouldn't really be able to convert between those two forms.
    If Hasbro had produced that mould, I would have loved to have had a whole squadron of them.

    Although Impossible Toys didn't make the most fantastic custom figures, they were certainly unique in many aspects.

    Bit sad really, considering they were one of the first on the scene with their 3rd party releases.

    I gotta agree, the main problems being they couldn't keep up with the competition and were releasing too many figures at the same time.

    TFsource has preorders for their mini cars. At those prices, honestly, I'd rather pay a little extra for iGear's mini vehicles. :/

    Tetrajets... poor choice. Should've gone with Predaking.

    To me they are too 'retro-goofy' sculpt styled to hold appeal.



    However as said and agree with you. The engineering is good in the way that it handles the 'shell' transformation into a Tetrajet. They also manage the 'Earth mode' Starscream look in robot mode like the cartoon.

    There's something endearing about these - I'm not sure which one I like the best:

    ImpossibleToys MC-01 Bumble Bug
    MC-02 Hill Jumper
    MC-03 Bump
    MC-04 Hub
    MC-05 Gold Bee
    MC-06 Glypher
    MC-07 Tapper
    MC-08 Bee Bite
    MC-09 Wasper

    (Unless you've hit your head particularly hard recently, you should be able to work out what they're homaging from the names. )

    It's possibly worrying that the guy transforming them never stands them up - I wonder if they tend to fall on their arses...

    I think Wasper is kind of cool, but it's getting to be a crowded market.
