Hi, new to the forum...hopefully I am not breaking any rules by posting this question on here. I am/was a huge fan of the original cartoon when I was a child in the 80' and I always buy any original figures that I happen to come across at flea markets, garage sales, etc. Earlier toay at the flea market I bought a figure today that I don't really remember too well. He's a NASA space shuttle and is stamped 1885 Bandai (Since it's not stamped with "Hasbro/Takara", does this mean it's the Japanese version?). I've Googled him (searching with keywords like "Transformers G1 Bandai 1985 NASA Space Shuttle") but all the pages i've found doesn't seem to know his name, either (they say "space shuttle" which I know isn't his real name). I am posting a picture I found on the net (of the same figure) to see if you can help me identify him. Again, if this kind of post (asking for help identifying something) is prohibited on the board or if this is the wrong section to post it in, I apologize! Thanks in advance to anyone that might be able to help!

Here's the figure:

Haha..didn't mean to put "1885"! That should have been "1985", lol!

A) You're breaking no rules, relax.
B) The fact that it says Bandai means it's not a Transformer at all.
C) In fact, I think it's Spay-C (yah, really) from the Gobots.

Specifically, it's Super Spay-C.

Thanks for the reply! Ahh..that'd explain me not remembering the character! So are you saying that no Transformers are stamped w/ "Bandai"? Hmmm...I thought they could have Takara, Hasbro, Macau or Bandai?

It's possible that some of the 1985 toys that were snarfed from other companies have their stamps.

Don't forget Shockwave...He was originally made by ToyCo...

Aren't the G1 Dinobot molds from another toyline too? I think it was called Dino-Robo Force or something. I'm not sur about Grimlock's mold, but I know Swoop and Slag weren't originally Hasbro/Takara molds.
