    Did anyone ever make up a gestalt of just the 'bots that Geewunners forgot'?

    IE Alpha Bravo, Rook, Offroad, Blackjack, Jet Blastoff.....

    You could have the Betatron/Scattorshot variant as the torso...
    My 'rejecticons' are the limbs of sky lynx.

    I really like the idea of new characters and bought all four of those misfits. I would have much preferred if the 'blast off in jet mode' had been given a new name though. I have always been irritated by toys/characters with G1 names having different personalities/alt modes to their original form. I'm getting used to the idea of 'different continuities' like animated or another line, but when the line is such a clear Homage to G1, or potentially in the same 'universe as G1, I much prefer new characters to have new names. Lockdown and Lugnut and bulk head are excellent examples. I even liked Prime bulkhead as he was pretty much the same character drawn in a different manner.

    I am on occasion now interested to see the 'new take' of a character like for instance the movie lockdown from DOTM.

    A jet black F-15 is hard to go past. The rest of them are basically interchangeable.

    Forgetting the name of an Aerialbot? I just can't fathom it - but then everything GeeOne was burnt into my brain at a key developmental stage!

    Forgetting the name of one of the members of the Micromaster Construction Patrol or the Decepticon Battle Squad? Yeah, I completely understand that.

    I’m much like tinyJazz - can name all the other members of other gestalt teams, no sweat. Just the Aerialbots stump me.

    I will admit that my knowledge of TFs is not as extensive as some others here, I think in part because I had about a 17-18 year “break” in my interest during my teens and twenties (aka the idiot years).

    Some notes on some older posts...


    Evac was in Singapore universal studio store back in May. I picked one up.

    And Predaking.... I had one back in the day. He was a birthday present, I had 4family members, and got a limb(body... I know Razorclaw isn’t a limb) off each. Dad used to sticker them the night before, put back in the box, and we unwrapped ready to play toys.

    I realised that I had 4of 5... Headstong was missing.... one up set 4 or 5 year old.... then mum pulled one out of the closet they “didn’t know if i’d Want this one as well....”

    Which all makes getting POTP Predaking a special moment too.... he was always the biggest and the best

    So we've had Fall Of Cybertron, War For Cybertron, Power Of The Primes to name a few. When is Hasbro gonna do Freedom Under Cybertron Kup toy line?
