This is a figure made of spare medibot parts, sadly it isnt worth anything.

The head (missing its horns), torso, shoulders, waist, right thigh, both lower legs, and right foot are all from a translucent version of Rokusho.

Oh man, I thought I recognised some of those armour pieces! I had/maybe still have somewhere the normal version of Rokusho (along with a beige cat-like one, Sumildon apparently), but it's been so long since I knew anything about medabots that I'd forgotten the name entirely :lol:

What do you consider a good price for it? I may be able to help... where are you located?

Your kind, but I have to find my toys locally. With my current exchange and the high cost of shipping, its not worth getting anything shipped out to me. But thanks

You sure? They are asking €25,- for it. You think thats worth it as is on the photo? Is he missing bits?

I dont see his head, thats apretty big deal. It might be hidden. Dont know if its worth that, but I am personally not willing to spend more than 15 pound on one total.

The figure is backwards and woefully mistransformed, so it's hard to really get a good look at it from that picture.

News Credits: 101 · Mon Aug 29, 2016 7:24 pm

I randomly bought an Energon Scorponok once. Didnt like it at all. So I sold it for roughly the same price I paid to a seibertronian. I lost only the shipping cost I originally paid. Meh, I consider it the figure's "renting cost".

Hard to say if anything is missing from the back. Looks like he has at least one of the chest guns which are prone to pop off. But is apparently missing a missile in his right claw.

He should come with 2 black missiles one for each claw. 2 of those translucent Yellow guns that peg onto his chest, and his yellow visor. Those 3 things are prone to be missing on him.

I think €25 is pretty good. He's a pretty big and beefy figure, has 3 pretty cool modes, and he also has sounds, very very annoying sounds when you move his tail.

What's not to like?

I own and love his Cybertron retool: Dark Scorponok

looks like 1 chest gun is indeed missing, and there's 1 black missile in the wrong place

Dunno if his head folds in somewhere?

The missile seems to be correctly inserted in the launcher in his left claw.

The right claw seems to be missing its missile.

His head folds into his chest / truck cab.

And yes, one of the chest guns is missing.

Hi, I'm not a collector, just trying to help my son sell a few of his old toys. I'm coming here for help identifying a few transformers! I can figure out their names but I'm very confused with the different variations. Can anyone tell me which figure i have by the photos below? I believe they were purchased between 2004-2009 if that helps! Thanks in advance!

Although, one more thing I just noticed in the first image. Bumblebee's orange fire missile is in Megatron's arm cannon.

You're good! Thank you again

1. Excellion from Transformers Cybertron, 2006
2. Hot Shot from Transformers Cybertron, 2005
3. Alliance Bumblebee from Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, 2010*

4. Optimus Prime, Leader Class, from Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, 2009
5. Megatron, Leader Class, from Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, 2009
6. Demolishor, from the Shanghai Showndown set, from Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, 2009

* Movie Bumblebee toys, given the popularity of the character, have so many variations it's not even funny. The car shell and the specific deco on the doors gave away it's exact identity, even then it took a double take. For that toy, I'd advise pics in multiple angles, especially in robot mode where the differences can be more noticeable.

All seem to be incomplete, Megatron even has Bumblebee's missile it seems.

Which toy is this?

A 3rd party one, at the very least.

News Credits: 3 · Thu Sep 08, 2016 9:29 pm

That'd be Toyworld's take on Goldbug, named TW-T05 Shinebug I believe
Its actually part of a throttlebot combiner they made, I think it forms the back of the torso- afraid I've no idea if the line is any good as I've not seen any reviews or anything about them really
Be aware, I'm pretty sure that (as with an increasing amount of 3P stuff nowadays) there are some knockoffs floating about- again, ive no idea if it's a case off good-quality can't-believe-it's-not-butterlegit knockoff or obvious-flimsy-horribly knockoff, so I'd do a little research into that if you were thinking of buying one

Seriously? You don't know any of these?

Just in case you're a Transformers beginner I'll tell the ones that I know of.
(BTW, got these as a bargain lot? Lucky you!)

Helicopter: DOTM Human Alliance Whirl, maybe missing the rocket launchers, but still with his little guy.

Red bot: AoE Evasion Optimus Prime, complete with gun. (Great find!)

Little orange cars-things: Dunno.

Green jet: Universe Acid Storm, 100% complete. (Amazing mold BTW)

Brown spaceship dude: Cybertron Sentinel Prime. Dunno which version. Missing gun and minicon.

Final red bot: RiD (first one) Leader Optimus Prime, may be missing some parts.
