Things you never realised about Transformers (toys etc)

[BigTransformerTrev]

In cannon mode, Scattershot has a couple of tabs that are on the wing, and these plug into the slot on the side of Metroplex's docking bay in city mode.

(Scattorshot is not plugged in - this photo made more sense than the one of it plugged in)

Now the question is, does that mean there should be a third mode combining feature with Hun-Grrr, to keep this gimmick paired up.

If anyone can find a way of connecting this to Metroplex, they'll be a part of Transformers history. Good luck!

Can't wait to do this with my Metro & Scattor ! It's just made Scattorshot even cooler! Thanks guys, love it when I learn something new about an old toy


Heh - I've turned my Hun-Grrr into that before, just because I had seen a pic online. All the other lot make some sort of sense:

Silverbolt: Landing Strip
Motormaster: Launch Ramp
Onslaught: Armored Cannon Bunker-thing
Hot Spot: Armored Rescue Vehicle, Repair bay (another very cool toy!)
Scattorshot: Cannon Emplacement

Could never figure out what Hun-Grrr was supposed to be, I suppose if the tail rotated he could be a fan , or perhaps he does it as a mocking impression of Blot's alt-mode sitting down

Silverbolt: Landing Strip
Motormaster: Launch Ramp
Onslaught: Armored Cannon Bunker-thing
Hot Spot: Armored Rescue Vehicle, Repair bay (another very cool toy!)
Scattorshot: Cannon Emplacement

Officially (according to their instructions) the base modes are:
Silverbolt: launching ramp,
Motormaster: ramp,
Onslaught: battle station,
Hot Spot: repair bay,
Scattershot: rocket launcher, and
Hun-Gurrr: soft serve ice cream dispenser.

(Okay, the last one isn't on the instructions. Poker machine?)

ummm, well Hungrrr's weird base mode, is it official in the first place? coz the other s have it as official altmode, but this, weird looking almode for Hungrrr... might it be just a a fan made one? Also I don't think he'd connect with Metroplex, if anything he'd most likely connect more with Trypticon hehehe.

That's cool about Scattorshot attaching to Metroplex - you learn still new things about G1 toys........ now I gotta try that out hehehe.

It's official, Liege - the image I posted is from Hun-Gurrr's Sunbow character model.

Hmmm and they didn't give us a proper name for what the heck is it? geez, well in my imagination it could be an alien looking docking station,/ recharging bay, but that's just me heheheh. Although can't still figure out how it would connect with either Trypticon or Metroplex.

The instructions call it "Rocket Launcher." The TF Generations book refers to it as "Mobile Battery" (移動砲台).

Not Scattershot's, Hun-Gurrr's.

Scattershot. Back when Hasbro was able to use the proper and literally non-crappy spelling of "scatter."

hhahaha oh yeah Scattorshot's a different bot altogether ;P.

It would be fantastic if the torso bots combined with Metroplex, if we indeed get Generations versions. We'd need a Trypticon for the 'cons too. That's the coolest play feature of Metroplex and Trypticon, IMO. I should really get the Encore 12 version.
