Where on earth are you getting these things? Most are Power Rangers items, but the red and black pieces, minus the torso, are from Superhuman Samurai Syber Squad. Not everything tagged "Transformers" is a Transformer, but at the very least a transforming robot toy.

Specifically it's from the cheap Phormo Samurizing set.

They're basically worthless. Here's a near complete one that ended on ebay with no bids at $10. There just isn't much interest in them. And when one of theses sets do sell for big money I'm convinced it's bought by someone that thinks they're buying the larger figures.

I recently purchased two different Transformers collections for the Seibertron.com store. Both lots, which included figures from the early 2000s, included this large purple gun. With the first lot, I didn't think it was a Transformers gun, but after getting it in a 2nd lot, I'm doubting my memory. Anyone know what it goes to? Thanks in advance!

Hey there all!

Long time lurker of the website but this is my first post, happy to be here!

The other night I was going through my collection deciding what to keep, toss, donate or sell and I came across what I believe to be a weapon of some sort and I am hoping someone here could help me in figuring out which figure it belongs to?

Thanks in advance!

As soon as I saw the shape of the handle plus the C-clips I knew where to look. That's Construct-Bots Age of Extinction Dino Rider Bumblebee's weapon:

Aside from Transformers, what other lines do you end up getting parts from? That info may help narrow down where to look.

He has even been posting these exact same messages on another forum I'm on. The exact same. Me and others on that forum have tried to help him, even pointing him in the direction of fantastic websites for identifying Transformers and Power Rangers toys, but he just keeps going to the forums with this stuff no matter what we do to try and help him. It's getting really annoying.

I found this little fellow at my grandparent's house today. It seems like a Takara Microman watch robo, but I'm pretty sure it was never released in these colors. This one also has alternate faces on the front and back sides of his head, which I don't believe any Takara watch robos had. Is this some kind of bootleg?

News Credits: 462 · Sat May 13, 2017 10:53 pm

Yeah, looks like a bootleg. The official Takara version came in blue, black, gold, and silver variants, but not red. And it had a Takara logo on it where that one says "Time Quartz". And the G2 Autobot version likewise was not released in red, and instead had Transformers and Generation 2 logos on its screen.

And the face on yours is different as well.

However, something interesting of note is how yours appears to be from the same bootleg line that was, according to TFWiki, actually advertised in issue #10 of the Marvel G1 comics. A grey version of your bootleg was featured in this Nabisco ad in that issue:

The blue and black gun in the middle is Protoform Optimus Prime's gun from the 2007 Movie 1 line.

The claw piece I believe is from Cybertron Overhaul.

Sorry it took so long for me to think of this, but it just now hit me. That purple gun is the end tip of Cybertron Supreme Class Starscream's null cannon.

Thanks for the help guys! I appreciate it. I've got tubs and tubs of nothing but Transformers parts for the Seibertron.com store ... I know most of it but now and then something stumps me.

I knew it looked familiar, but it never hit me. Probably because I never owned that particular toy or variation thereof :BANG_HEAD:

Those yellow panels keep bugging me tho. There goes my sleep for tonight...

I found this item on a Dutch E-Bay-style site, can somebody identify it for me?

The owner doesn't know from what the figure is. I'm just interested in it if it's a little treasure from a great serie. Maybe there is some value in it too.

That looks to me like a figure of Hakann, the red Piraka. Piraka were the Bionicle enemies of the... 2006-ish season of the toyline?
Oddly though, that doesnt appear to be either the mainline articulated figure or the minifigure included in a couple playsets that never really caught on. In fact, it doesn't look like it's lego compatible at all so as to which version of Hakann it is I'm stumped.

Thanks for the name! I searched a bit around the web and discovered that it was just a simple McDonalds Happy Meal toy from indeed the year 2006. Thanks again.

Is this from a TF?

News Credits: 3 · Mon Jul 10, 2017 9:54 pm

Yup! Prime Cyberverse Commander Dreadwing.

Never ended up getting one myself, though I do have the inevitable repaint as his brother Skyquake who's a pretty smashing little guy. Man, cyberverse was the bomb a few years back.
