Transformers questions by newbies, and not-so-newbies

[GoktimusPrime]

haha GoktimusPrime i meant a gestalt# micromasters formed , like superion.
but i gotta admit it looks awesome close up

Titanium Jetfire & a Micromaster gestalt (Sixliner)

im not a big fan of those energon combiners

The cool thing about the Energon gestalts is that the limbs are interchangeable like with the original Scramble City gestalts, only with far better engineering/design (the limb robots aren't "blockheads"). The somewhat disappointing thing is that there are only two mould designs for each limb robot. e.g. Swindle & Brawl are the same moulds as are Vortex and Blast-Off.

GoktimusPrime what reference resource books for toy identification,pricing and a little general information do you use?

My primary source is Transformers Generations Deluxe.

well thank you for everyone answering my questions, i just discovered chrono-Q, SCF, MSCF, myclone so i got a lot of web surfing to go

Currently im aware of mini figures ; G1 mini-bots,micromasters,mini-con,chrono-Q,SCF,myclone, WSTF, HOC,LOC, titanium, decoys,robot heroes, reissue keychains,spychangers and cassettes. Are there any more mini/micro sized transformers

There's also Q-Robo and various PVCs and model kits released with confectionary or gum from Kabaya.

btw it's Choro Q ("cho" as in "chocolate", "ro" as in "rock")
