Transformers questions by newbies, and not-so-newbies

Verno: No noticeable class/caste division in Japanese continuity.

drahsrebu: The Obliterators were part of the very last batch of Transformers released under "Transformers" (G1), and as such were later repackaged as G2 Transformers. As such, they are commonly referred to by fans as "G1.5" because the toys are identical, and the only way you can tell if it's G1 or G2 is by the packaging that it came in. I only ever got Colossus/Clench -- never got Pyro. I quite like Clench... Pyro suffers from brittle gold plastic syndrome, whereas Clench doesn't (to this day my Clench remains in good nick! ). As for aftermarket value... I did see one at a collectors fair sell for $50, but that was years ago. No idea how much they'd sell for now I'm afraid.

Cool thanks gok. I remember that my brother got pyro, I may have to see if he still has it

Does anyone know roughly how much the MP 10 U.S edition of Optimus Prime is going to cost and also if it's going to be released here in Australia?

I think it's going to be about $100 in canada, it is definitely coming to Australia, TRU I think, not sure on an australian price, maybe $150?

A placeholder with the Hasbro version had it tagged at $150, IIRC.

Does any one have, or can point me towards a complete list of G1 transformers? That's American, European exclusives & Japanese exclusive figures

I looked though TFWiki and did a dodgy one for myself, but want a more comprehensive list.

I would prefer it to be in a spreadsheet format, but it doesn't matter that much.

Great site, and you can look by year easily.

You're right, it is a great site, but I can't copy all of the names onto a spread sheet properly, they all go into the one cell, which is useless for my intentions

Fatbot - download Lewis's spreadsheet from here: http://transformerstoylistproject.com/frames.html

It has pretty much everything, so just delete everything that's above G1 and below G2.
