Things you never realised about Transformers (toys etc)

He has a perception filter.

P.S.: they're actually "Shackwaves," but still -- very very cool find!

I'd say they're definately Shackwaves because they would not be the only things on that set sourced from Tandy! The table top game (front and centre in the shot) is a silver painted "Super Copter" - I got one for Christmas way back when!!

Heh, well, the colour gives it away, especially the clear transparent fist and arm gun (which are transparent purple on Shockwave).

had to look twice to see it....that so cool!! someone got very sharp eye

Took me a minute to find ol shackers but that's very cool. And I used to have Flight of the Navigator on video as a kid and would have watched it weekly, and never noticed that Shrapnel either. Strange.

Did you spot the second one?

This is a bit embarrassing, but I've been sorting out Cyber Planet Keys to match them up with Cybertron figures, and have only just realised that the first letter of the code represents the size class: s for scout, d for deluxe, etc

Really, I never realised myself. Thanks for the tip!

Reveal the Shield Deluxe "G2 Laser" Optimus Prime has the Matrix sculpted inside his chest.

Given your attention to detail, I am surprised you missed that one!

[GoktimusPrime]

Heh. I'm not sure if I really have only recently noticed it, or maybe I noticed it before then forgot about it. Gah.
