Transformers questions by newbies, and not-so-newbies

Just wondering, looking at some Japanese G1 catalogues It looks like the C114 Frotress Maxmius came with a smaller sword for Cerebros


Just wondering because i just bought the sword for fort max and was wondering how hard it would be to track down the smaller sword

[liegeprime]

really hard rampagess, best to buy a repro small sword like that one produced ny that darkov guy in TFW.... cheaper and nearly looking like the real thing AFAICT. not to mention cheaper....

Ah and he does have it as well thanks for that i will order it from him

Also liegeprime, do you have a link for the pics you drew in your sig?

I'm a huge G1 series 3 fan but there's a bit of imbalance on my display. On one side I've got

Autobots
Rodimus
UM
Kup
Blurr
Springer
Wreck Gar
Sky Lynx
Wheelie

and on the other

Decepticons
Galvatron
Cyclonus
Scourge
Soundwave
Runamuck
Runabout

Any decepticon character suggestions to even things out? (Not including combiners or bases - as I already have these). More influential series 3 figures preferred. I can't be bothered watching the eps again. I was thinking astrotrain or maybe octane.

Also, would it be prudent to assume the G2 line will increase in considerable market value (on par with g1) over the next few years?

[TheHandsomeCrab]

No, because G2 was nowhere near as popular as G1 and sealed G2 figures are still fairly easy to acquire; in the 90's people tagged onto the fact that old action figures were collectable so did a lot of "investment" buying.

And the only '86 figures you haven't excluded are Gnaw, Octane and Ratbat.

[GoktimusPrime]

Soundwave is a 1984 mould, not '86; although he was still in production in 1986. Also from 1986 are Spectro, Spyglass and Viewfinder (Reflector).

Since you seem to be talking about the cartoon, Ratbat is pretty much the only Galvatron-allied Season Three Decepticon left. Gnaw's allegiance is with the Quintessons and Octane is Galvatron's enemy. He does appear (probably as a generically selected animated Decepticon) in a few Decepticon crowd scenes in Five Faces of Darkness and The Ultimate Weapon, though, so I'm sure he'd be welcome on your shelf just as long as Galvatron doesn't notice him.

[canofwhoopass_87]

Yeh I've already got gnaw; but he sits next to the quints. Doesn't quite fall under the "decepticon" banner for me either.

I felt soundwave was influential enough in the 3rd series to earn a place next to galvatron. Octane and ratbat are pretty good suggestions, but the high quality KO releases of these do make me a little apprehensive.

Thanks all

Are you meant to be able to see G1 Blurr's face when you've transformed him into car mode? It looks weird

[canofwhoopass_87]

Yeh it doesn't fully close actually. So don't go trying to force that cover on top of is head, it'll snap!
