Awesome toy adaptation of the Earth Force story!
Some people dislike Earth Force because it doesn't fit right in continuity with the rest of the main story but I very much enjoyed them as an alternate telling of events.

Thanks guys.
I also thoroughly enjoy Earthforce, but yeah, it exists outside of mainstream G1 continuity. I think the problem with Earthforce was that it wasn't meant to be out-of-continuity, but it ended up being that way, and I think Furman has semi-officially retconned it as being so. The problem was that Earthforce was a story that Furman devised because Hasbro UK wanted the comics to start featuring the Classic G1 reissues (e.g.: Wheeljack, Prowl, Dinobots, Silverbolt, Tracks etc.). But of course, Hasbro US totally ignored this with their directives to Marvel USA, and were more concerned with having the story in the US comics follow along their toy line - as a result, ignoring the G1 reissues and their place in continuity (Earthforce). So actually, it's not that Earthforce was really written out of continuity... it's more like continuity abandoned Earthforce!Freaky, huh?

I got those Pretenders from Santa Claus in Xmas of '89. Maybe it was from that really scary robot Santa from Futurama.

I mean, it doesn't bother me specifically, it's just when you think about the way toys have become different under the stringent guidelines and laws... how in 89 those toys were perfectly appropriate.
Though I wouldn't have been a subject of that. I was 6 months old as of Christmas 89 :P
