I thought Gen Wreck Gar is the only motorcycle TF I own, but then looked over and saw DOTM HA Basics Tailpipe. Besides a dubious head sculpt (how entirely unlike Movieverse! :P) and the handlebars on his back poking out of behind the head looking a bit like he's wearing bunny ears, he's great. HA rider is a bit wee for him, but he works pretty well with a GI Joe figure.

Not exactly one of the coolest motorcycles TF's have been made into, but he works pretty well in both modes, robot mode has a ton of articulation and the addition of the targetmater-like minicon adds a bit more play-value.
assembling a Neo-G1/TF:TM cast. Please PM if you have (or know of) the following at a reasonable price: Classics or Henkei Prowl, Astrotrain, Ramjet, Skywarp, Sunstreaker, Sideswipe, Blurr, Perceptor, GDO Wheelie and Springer, or 3rd Party Motobot Arcee, FP Springer, iGear Ratchet and Ironhide, City Commander (and/or Ultra Magnus), Starscream (deluxe) Coronation add-on, or Spike and Daniel in their Exo-Suits.

Motto: ""I am a warrior. Let the battle be joined.""
Weapon: Electron Gun
2007 Arcee, TF:A Prowl and Oil Slick and TF: P Arcee are my favorites. Prowl and Arcee need to get together. :D
Not caring about scale since 1984. Just like Hasbro.

I just noticed that a lot of the engineering they learned from this mold (like the horizontally-split wheels and folding hands) was applied to later releases like Prime Arcee!

I'm also a big fan of the Knock Out mold for some reason.. just the smoothness of the transformation and the symmetry of the figure.

It's a real shame the G1 color release of 2007 Arcee was a Japanese convention exclusive only. I would've bought it in a heartbeat if it came out here. Same with G1 color Animated Prowl!

I agree the Knockout mold is pretty good but the head mold isn't really my thing. It's a fun motorcycle though.

Because he is the very definition of "WhY mY ShOuLdErS hUrT" :lol: I still like him though. :lol:


I guess my personal favorites are RTS Wreck-Gar and FE Arcee. They both have kibble problems and Wreck-Gar has the handlebar issue, but they're probably the coolest bike formers so far with no major sacrifices to one mode or the other. Wreck-Gar's ability to combine with himself just makes it awesome.

Damn that's right I did forget DOTM Tailpipe. A really great moto TF with a really unique head sculpt. I gave him Roadbuster's chainsaw which fits him perfect! :VEHI:

I know nothing about Beast Wars other than several key characters besides OP and Megs. I checked out this Tarantulas and I say yes indeed, he's 2 wheelin' it! ;)^ :VEHI:

Armada Sideways was always one of my favorites back when I was a kid, and now he has a well respected spot on my shelf, backstabbin' everybody.

The Knock Out mold is pretty great, but sadly I don't have one of them. D:
