That feature was common in Generation 2, it's that old.

I think the first Transformer I ever got with light-piped eyes was either G2 Sureshot or G2 Hooligan. Ah, the days where ball joints and light piping were a thing of the future. How RID and Cybertron could go so wrong, I have no idea.

Umm... Cybertron DIDN'T go wrong, except in a couple figures. Armada, on the other hand...

I didn't know Universe Galvatron could suck so bad. His non gun arm acts like it doesn't want to even be associated with the rest of the figure. The rest of Galvatron seems like he had a stroke.

I don't know I barely paid attention to any of those lines coz of how terrible the figures looked... I remember the only RID figure I liked and got was Brawn, his SUV merc mold.
Yea Universe Galvatron kinda sucks, but he can atleast get some cool poses imo, and is the best Galvatron we have for G1 accuracy. Hehe, maybe all that torment from Unicron, he just couldn't handle it anymore and stroked out.

Cybertron is the hands down greatest Non-Classics TF toy line ever.

You tread lightly buddy. I'm keeping an eye on you from now on...

oohhh no. i'm in trouble, i better go hide behind my collection of broken cybertron toys of which i only bought to display broken due to their fruity looks and terrible play value.
I'm kidding... chill out. Yea I remember some cool cybertron figs like Cybertron Galvatron, as well as the ones that share their molds with a lot of classics i love.
I mistyped... altho the movie toys all share an aesthetic that I don't like too much... they're all too jagged and messy... i like the ol'skool blockiness as much as possible.

For the first couple of weeks after getting Breacher I didn't realise that there was a flap at the front of the vehicle mode you fold out to tab his body to the waist properly.

Do you mean the roof/windshield panel that forms his back?

Armada Nightbeat Sideswipe has feet. Just.

Oddly, I really like the toy, though. He has....charm.

I'm not sure if I never realized this or just forgot about it, but I had my Alternators Smokescreen out last night, and in car mode, not only do his front doors open, but so do the back doors. A four door TF with all four doors actually working, that's uncommon.

I got that exact TF, its one of the only Alternators I own, and yea, I love how you can open everything, even the trunk a bit. Really Awesome TF to showcase coz all the decals on it tottaly hide any sign of it being a TF.

Well, at least it isn't just trolling in this case.

I also just realized ROTF Seaspray has bars to clip on the new clip-on weapon dealies hasbro's putting out. Found out after trying to figure out how seaspray and breacher are really supposed to go together aside from fiction and the fact that he fits in the back.

I didn't realize, until I saw a review online, that Nightstick could become Classics Cyclonus' hand. He is now displayed as such.

Also, that the back kibble in Classics Galvatron were put there for a (really lame) G1-esgue alt mode.

Yesterday, I was goofing around with my Classics Prowl, and learned that he can hold weapon mode Darkray.
