Toy Fair 1986 catalog now online! Many unseen colourschemes!

So that's where the blue on Wheelie came from... suddenly some of the artwork featuring him makes a lot more sense.

I always used to think that my G1 Cosmos had a faulty head, but now i see that his head IS supposed be down.

So...Cyclonus was originally Scourge and vice versa? Or did they just get the captions wrong?

very cool

Man, even back then Hasbro had official pictures of mistransformed toys.

lol, powerglides jet mode has the head looking up, hub caps arms are in in robot mode. Also I think hub cap and tailgate have swapped colours

Considering how many images they've taken particularly from the galleries here at Seibertron and that we front paged this auction on Seibertron.com to help out the AllSpark and TFWiki, I'd say posting a couple of the images falls within their "fair use" clause.

I can't believe that those guys would post that on a website seen by so many people. Very disappointing.

Perhaps one of their representatives should come on by and explain their actions, especially considering how many of our members came forward to assist with the cause.

For what it's worth, I actually sent a polite PM request to MKall to take the hotlinked pics down once I saw a gripe about the hotlinking on one of the Wiki Talk pages. (I don't know if he's read it yet, though.) That was before I realized we'd also swapped the pics, though.

So... I tried to get this done politely first, but apparently I'm one of the few who felt like that was a better approach than swapping the pics right off the bat.

Well Big Show, if you think there's some issue with the news, you're welcome to point it out.

I'll go ahead and point out all the seibertron images used without request on the Wiki.

For the record, Counterpunch, I have absolutely no issue with Seibertron or its news department. There are several excellent news stories, and is bookmarked and visited often throughout the day.

The sole purpose of my second post ever was to make sure that there were no misconceptions about 'causes' in question. Raising $2300 for a Children's Charity (especially in these times) is an incredible effort, and is something that every single person that supported it (be it financially or through spreading the word) should be immensely proud of.

I just wanted to be sure that such an effort remained separate from intra-site pettiness.
