NEW TOY GALLERIES: PLAYSKOOL "FIRST TRANSFORMERS" DUMP-KUN, JET-KUN, AND RACER-KUN

Motto: "Surf in the Summer, Collect in the Winter."
Weapon: Neptune Sword
Seibertron's inexhaustible camera shifts it's focus to the little known "My First Transformers". A short lived toy line that originated in 1986. This series was focused on children ages 2 and up long before the Go-Bot or 1-2-3 Transformers lines.

An interesting note is that these toys had their own faction symbol, which resembles a very cute, rounded Autobot symbol but is neither Autobot nor Decepticon. Neither the characters nor the symbol have ever appeared in any fiction.

These three adorable Cybertronians were actually manufactured under the Playskool flag and were named Dump-Kun, Jet-Kun, and Racer-Kun in Japan. Click any image below to view the full gallery!

Their insignia looks much cooler when it's flipped upside-down. ;)
If you've read Exodus, wanna read the War For Cybertron comic? PM me.

Racer-Kun has some epic piping going on there.

These are very cool, IMO. I've seen Jet-Kun boxed online once... Sort of a shame I passed it up. Ah, maybe one day.

HEY! I had Jet-kun! I never knew his name, or that he was an actual Transformer before today! Thanks Seibs for reviving some old memories.

These were literally my first Transformers, purchased for me by my parents when I was a tiny toddler. These three simple toys were what sparked my lifelong obsession with this whole darn franchise. Kind of staggering now that I look at them in the cold light of Seibertron gallery.
