The Euro/INT exclusive Transformers thread

[GoktimusPrime]

...I'm not fond of referring to these toys as "European" since they were also available in Australia too. If I need to be regionally specific (and it usually only happens when I'm talking to TF fans outside Australia) I refer to them as "European and Australasian." Referring to them as purely "European" implies that they were exclusively sold in Europe, which is simply not true.

The term is mainly for simplicity rather than accuracy as most of us know what we are referring to. And wasn't Australia considered part of the 'European market' along with Canada?

ACTION MASTERS!
- ACTION MASTERS!

Action Master Thundercracker past and present:













Euro G1 Action Master & Botcon 11 Thundercracker..
The most horrible toys EVER made. AWESOME!

^awesome shots kup. I daresay the botcon AMC's colour scheme dares to look a little too SENSIBLY laid out in alt mode.

awesome photos guys.

So ugly! (intentionally so, I know)

See now, Action Masters can't transform, but Action Master Elites can - but barely (they pretty much just bend over). Being able to properly transform, I guess that makes this BotCon Thundercracker "Action Master Really Elite Thundercracker" (AMRE Thundercracker)!

LOL - Both of those figures are so horribly ugly but those are some great photos Kup!

Thanks!

I am actually beginning to see AM Thundercracker as a misunderstood work of art that was badly regarded back then but now appreciated for being a bold piece, ahead of it's time!
