    Lightbulb G1 Series: Cartoon, Comic & Toys

    Yet another topic which I decided to bring over from the old forum. The original G1, it never fails to fascinate me, what with the animations from the 1980s, the funny "disappearing acts" of characters when they transform, some crappy toys which is no way similar to what they are in the cartoon/comics it's still one of the best series ever and will always be a fav in everyone's hearts.

    Some topics discussed:
    1) The "Mass-Shifting" of the characters in the cartoon
    2) Different story plots between the cartoon and the comic
    3) About funny characters appearing out of nowhere sometimes in the cartoon
    4) The Constructicons - how were they created and how did Megatron came about
    5) Devcon - The Bounty Hunter where I wished appeared in more series
    6) The Autobots - How new ones came and old ones disappeared without explanation
    7) The portraying of female autobots

    As usual, you can talk about anything relating to the G1 Series here. Ask questions about the cartoon, toys or comics. So I'll go first:

    i) Does the Price and ID Guide provide the full list of G1 transformers autobots and decepticons?
    ii) Does Encore Ironhide and Ratchet really have cardboard heads?! And did any of the toy range ever had a proper metal head at all?

    The Price and ID Guide only covers the American toys so it excludes European toys (which were sold in Australia and are G1 Autobots and Decepticons) and the Japanese toys (which I guess aren't technically G1 Autobots and Decepticons).

    The Transformers Generations book has the most complete lists of G1 toys (but isn't in English)

    Not to my knowledge. Prove me wrong someone.

    Very cool. But my bad here. I didn't quote enough of Mel's original question. She was wondering if Ironhide and Ratchet were ever released with a metal head.....I think.
