The Energon Pub

Here's some of my old Transformers along with a few newer ones that i found in a box in my garage. The only really new one I have is the Sideswipe. I've decided to get back into this collecting thing so I set out to Walmart and bought an ROTF Sideswipe, just to get the ball rolling. I can't even remember some of the names of the others but I know the 1988 Optimus Prime was my favorite as a kid. Sadly, most of what survived since I was a kid consists of mostly Beastwars (not a bad era in my opinion). The one that really befuzzles me is the red sportscar with green body and the number 19 on his side. Anywho, take a look and if you know the name, shout it out. Again, I'm just getting back into this world, so go easy one me! I'm trying to cure my ignorance as fast as i can.

-1988 Powermaster Optimus Prime (lost all of his minicons and weapons...hopefully I can find them in all those boxes in my garage)
-Polar Claw
-Iguanas
-Arachnid
-Razorbeast
-Mini-con from 2001 line of "Robots in Disguise" I think
-Red Sportscar from 1992 (maybe "Flash"?)

Sorry about the crappy photo quality. My cell phone is the only camera I have at the moment. I had a big green pick-up truck (maybe Cup?) when I was a kid and also a big (6-8" tall) yellow bug that must've been Bumblebee. I had the "chrome" Grimlock and I think swoop and Sludge? I can't remember with any clarity all of the others, but to be sure I will be hunting the ones I use to have down again!

Ah! the minicon is Blackout! I'll have to find the Demolishor that went with him....

Ah, that red sportscar is G2 Rapido, though yours is missing his hood/chest and chrome engine gun. That little guy there is supposedly the highest ranked autobot ever, even outranking Optimus Prime.

Forgot to mention: the Arachnid is Tarantulas, and the '2001 minicon' is a Universe Optimus Prime repaint of the Scourge spy changer from RID.

And once again, a good site for identifying your figures:

Down at the bottom you can identify by color (which then leads to alt mode type), Mucromasters, Pretender shells, and more.

I can't look at that site at work.......way too distracting.

Awesome! I really appreciate the help! Yeah, locating the hood and gun for Rapido might be kind of difficult, but I'm definitely going to be keeping my eyes peeled.

A complete Rapido will look like this; http://istaipen.wordpress.com/2009/07/1 ... ormer-toy/

Nice find man! i found some of my old and mostly G1 stuff not too long ago and i need to post some pics as well. Again nice find and good luck with the search for pieces, parts and weapons.

You're lucky to have any surviving figures! A lot of people here lost them or they were given away by the parents. I still have all mine but it does seem to be rare.

I know what you mean Mykltron, i'm still still trying to find some combiners i'm missing like Cutthroat from the Terrorcons and Swindle from the Combaticons. I just need both of them and my combiners will be complete, but something tells me their in a metal or plastic bodies are in graveyards and went to Transformer Heaven....

Nice finds! I'm still hoping to find my G1 Whirl. Found my black Diaclone Perceptor a while back, tho, very happy about that. A friend of mine has a few G1 TFs that he said he's going to give me- complete Jetfire, a couple Dinobots, and some others, but they're packed away at his mom's, could be a while.

Yeah Rapido by tech specs outranks G2 Optimus Prime. However Hero Optimus Prime outranks Rapido, and Laser Optimus Prime outranks them all!!!

Despite pestering from the parents to chuck out or sell those old boxes of TFs in the attic I managed to keep all of them except Beachcomber. I'm still hoping he'll turn up when the parents pass away and I have to clean out the house so I don't want to buy another yet. Baring a hideous accident I expect them to be around for another 20-odd years!

Found my G1 Scrapper, G2 Terradive, Beastwars Black Arachnia, and beastwars Scorpinok!
