I double-dare you to jump off.

Don't be silly mate, skylinux is that funky dinobird who likes to eat you because it doesn't like old timers, like kup.

Hi all!

I have a query regarding the Hasbro G1 Commemorative reissues that were released a couple of years ago. I've checked their checklist (see below with the weblink at the bottom) to reconcile my collection against their releases.

I don't recall Ramjet, Ironhide or Trailbreaker ever being released here. I've never seen it at TRU or on ebay/online stores. I might have missed it at the time as I am not the most prolific transformer fan so this may be the case.

Were these ever released here or overseas? Had a look through this thread and did a search but don't think the question has been asked.

A Stan Lee No Prize to the one who can provide an absolute answer. Thanks in advance for your responses.

im told trailbreaker was a jap exclusive,so unfair

[dirge]

The simple answer is that Hasbro never released them.

They canned the line before this trio - and Sideswipe - hit the shelves. The stock of Sideswipe that _had_ been produced made its way to Canada & Australia - but he never hit the USA.

As roller correctly points out, Trailbreaker was sold in Japan only. Along with Ironhide, Ratchet, Ramjet, Thrust, Dirge and possibly some others I've missed.

They were generally limited in Japan, along with limited editions of Red Alert, Sideswipe, Thundercracker, Skywarp, Hoist, Inferno & Grapple.
