    Default Hi new here :)

    Hi all

    I'm from Melbourne, I'm 19 and been into transformers since i was a child, mainly influenced by my brothers who were into G1 and cheese TV who showed reruns of G1 in the mornings in the 90's

    Definitely more into the more G1 style of toys, kinda just been into the toys on and off but recently got more into it wanting to finish my gestalts

    This is my small collection:



    Should have Alternator nemisis prime there but he's at my GF's house



    G1 triggerhappy is in the back, a g1 mixmaster, g2 Hook and a G1 prowl. optimash prime up in the right hand corner

    Need to complete bruticus there I know haha

    thanks all and hope to become a familiar around here

    Welcome! The best part about a small collection is you can actually play with it!

    Are you sure your Hook is G2 or late G1 ("New Constructicons")? Because I can tell you now that your Scavenger is G1, not G2. The main differences between G1 "New" Hook and G2 Hook is that "New" Hook's hook is grey whereas G2 Hook's hook is yellow. New Hook also doesn't have the swivel-peg in front of the crane-operator's cabin around the mid-right section of the vehicle. It's the peg that connects Hook to Bonecrusher in the 1985 and G2 versions, but is absent in New Hook, since the New Constructicons don't form into Devastator. New Hook's purple is also darker than G2 Hook's.

    Welcome. I love the Bruticus. Reminds me of my childhood Abominus! (:

    [I can see from the pic that it's a
    "G1.5" Hook. The G2 Constructicons were never released in Australia, which was a shame since they were much better quality than the yellow ones we did receive.]

    Upon examining what you said I guess my Contructicons are G1, Hook's hook is grey, however i am missing the tangly hook bit.

    Is there any resource where I can read about these different Contructicons? Definitely looking to complete this yellow devastator

    But looking at this Ebay auction:

    http://cgi.ebay.com/Transformers-G2-...QQcmdZViewItem

    My scavenger and hook look exactly the same with the grey areas, are they not G2?

    The figures say HASBRO 1980. 1984
