Transformers questions by newbies, and not-so-newbies

[Hursticon]

I'd be inclined to think that the reissue of G1 Jetfire is more or less slim to nil.
The toys mold was leased by Hasbro from one of Takara's main competitors Takatoku Toys. I believe the figure was never released in Japan, under Transformers, and the mold has not been used by Hasbro since 85-86.

Lol in the jetfire wiki link, it states in the notes

"It's believed that there were some trademark issues with the name "Optimus Prime" in the Netherlands due to a manufacturer of kitchen utensils named "Optimus".[4] Whether or not this was actually the case, Milton Bradley did not initially release Optimus Prime's toy, referred to Jetfire as the Autobot leader, and called Optimus "Jetfire" in the Dutch translation of the Marvel comic! Whatever the problem was, it was later rectified, as the Optimus Prime toy was later released and they stopped calling him "Jetfire" in the comic."

I have no idea about the first query as I dont have Firebolt....

NOw for the second one, BLudgeon fetches about $100 on ebay, just make sure what you get is complete with the tank turret and shield piece coz thats a real B@%$#h to find by itself. Bludgeon has been appearing on and Off lately on ebay so Good Luck!

A complete Bludgeon can go for a lot higher too. I have seen them sell for around US$200. I was lucky that I got mine ages ago so I didn't pay anywhere near this price. But yeah, good luck finding him

Holy poop on a stick!

Lucky I found my Bludgeon sitting beneath the Xmas tree on 25/12/89!

why is G1 Flywheels a tank + fighter Jet combo,
whilst G1 Battletrap is a camper truck + apache helicopter combo?

surely it would make more sense to name the toy with actual car wheels on it "Flywheels" and call the tank + jet combo "Battletrap"?

or is this another one of those RIBFIR questions??

http://transformers.wikia.com/wiki/Flywheels

The lack of wheels on Flywheels' altmode has led to speculation that he and Battletrap may have swapped names during production. In fact, when they are first introduced in The Headmasters, their name captions are swapped around, which further adds to this theory.

If true, it would be anyones guess as to why the names were swapped.
