Nice photocomic Gok!
Yes, I am quite aware of scale issues but I was pretty much asking only about the combiners though. Thanks for all the helpful info though.

The POP gave me quite a good giggle

In reference to G1 Bumblebee, did the Red one have a pic of the toy red car and yellow bee with the yellow car mode on the card or did it vary? I can't seem to find a clear answer on Fred's or anywhere else.

I believe the red bee had a yellow bee art and vice-versa (Cliffy of course). I think that's it but you never know.

I'm not referring to the art, it's the picture of the toy itself on the front of the card, they had both red and yellow bee variants. I may not have worded my question correctly.

I am not sure that the Red Bumblebee was ever on a card with the vehicle photo on the front. I think it was only from 1985 that the mini-vehicles started getting sold in robot node and the photos were added. And I think the Red Bees had gone by then. Not 100% though.

Edit: no, Red bees kept coming in 1985. I would guess the instruction photos would have been yellow the whole time and this so would the front photo but it's only a guess.

I did a google search and came up with these images...
Red Bbee on card with yellow art & red car photo with minispy
Red Bbee on card with yellow art & red car photo - no minispy
But maybe it was random, as this one is a yellow Bbee with a red car photo
Looks like the same happened with yellow Cliffjumper, with a yellow car photo - As well as without a car photo on the card

Is that what you were hoping to find out?

On a side note... after seeing heaps of KO mini-vehicles on fake backing cards, I hate seeing the word "reissue" everywhere by counterfeit/KO sources. It's just so deceptive and wrong using a legit TFs word, because they know they wouldn't get as many customers if they used the fake words (from people who don't know the difference, but know that "reissue" toys exist as legit toys from Hasbro & TakaraTomy).

Thanks griffin, that 3rd link shows what I'm after.
Totally agree with you on slime selling fakes and calling them reissues. Makes me super mad
Good point Paulbot one that warrants further investigation.

P.S. that cliffjumper is not a bad price

I'm looking into the battle tanker and was wondering, does the purple/blue kit come with the body armour or is it just the tanker?



This would suit the Combat Hero Prime yes?
