As a G1 collector i was interested enough in taking a look at these on their website but i like my G1 collection to be actual vintage product.

In continuing with their reproduction G1 Techspecs, Atomic laser has up for preorder volume 2 of the 1985 set.

This set is volume 2 in a two part set for year 1985. Digitally recreated from the ground up as new super clean high resolution artwork. The art has been fine tuned. Color matching ensures consistency throughout every card in the set. The "coding" on this set is done in the 1985 style.

This is intended a a neat clean pristine collection of cards to accompany the original '85 toys. Certain artwork, as seen in the pics below, has been edited to resemble the actual toy. Digitally remastered high resolution printing & laminated for longevity. Red decoder is included.

They have also posted on their facebook page a preview of sorts of the 1986 set. These are some art corrections.

If you just want to print out tech specs there's plenty available online.

Of course printing them all out on good quality paper and cutting them out yourself may make you wish you'd just bought them to begin with.

It's one thing to remake their figures without using their names, but this is a flat out rip off of their idea...especially if the names and pictures are the same as the original toys art.

If Hasbro didn't act to stop the Seeker knock offs or the G1 accurate knock offs, I think these guys are fine.

Anyway, it's not like Hasbro reissues it's tech specs. These guys are not undercutting Hasbro in any way.
