Not to toot my own horn, but BBT's quoting of my posts pretty much covers it.
Not specifically tf related, but how separate is Mr Toys Toyworld in Queensland from Toyworld in other states?
Is it the same company, subsidiary or a complete break away?

I swear I read this somewhere before but now I can't find it again.
It would be great if someone could confirm or deny: there were slight tolerance issues when you attempted to combine RiD Optimus Prime with Car Robots Ultra Magnus into Omega Prime?

Toyworld is a franchise, so people and businesses can buy a license to set up a store. The company "Mr Toys" appears to have bought licenses to have about 22 stores, which they keep to within SE QLD. Mr Toys (branded) Toyworlds are bound by any Toyworld catalogues and sale prices, but the rest of the Toyworld chain is not bound by the Mr Toys catalogue or sales. (they might, just to make the sale)
Tap Out had a full page bio in the US BotCon 2002 guide. Rook was the UK exclusive, but their "Guide" was just a folded A3 piece of card and didn't have anything on it about Rook.
Tap Out, Glyph were packed with biocards though, done in the style of the 80s trading cards, but Rook didn't.
It was printed somewhere, but I can't remember where though.
They vary significantly. There are some listed in the dealer section somewhere, so do a search for Forwarder or other related words to see what has been suggested before.
It's top heavy and the Magnus component may be prone to sliding off and possibly rubbing up/scratching the chrome on Fire Convoy/Optimus Prime's chest. I found that the chrome on Optimus Prime's chest to be more durable than on Fire Convoy (the only part of that toy which is better made than the Takara version; the rest of it's inferior, especially the poor quality rubber on the tyres). Take it easy and be sure that the tabs are connected in properly. It's pretty much the same flaw that Super Fire Convoy has anyway. Still... this was one damn cool toy at the time.![]()
