Don't mention it. One final thing: "Treds" is close to Treads, the name of a Gobot, and an e-Hobby G1 Gobot:

Gobot Treads
e-Hobby G1 Gobot Treads

and it just keeps on coming: Blast-Back is no TF name, but Backblast is. It's used for, your guessed it, a Mini-Con, a repaint of Space Team Sky Blast.

Too many. In fact, I have a spreadsheet with every single release, and it still needs updating.

Well, considering the Armada/Energon teams are done as their molds are beyond viable use, I may upload them somewhere.

I would like to know something about the Autobot symbol

Does it have a mouth plate like Prime or is it so post to be looking grim with its mouth pouting

Actually, The autobot symbol is the face of Prowl and the Decpticon symbol is the face of soundwave. And yes, It's not a "Mouth plate" but its atually the chin of Prowl!

Are you sure? I've always understood the Autobot symbol as the face of Prima from the comics.

I'll need to dig out my Prowl so I can compare the face.

Yes Robofreak. I am competely sure about it. If you dont belive me, Check it on google. Below is the comparison photo. If the image does not appear, Click on the red link above my signature.

This is pretty cool, huh? I’m still amazed at how many Transformers collectors are unaware of this fact and it’s always an eye opener. Now you know as well, so go on and educate the masses! Of course, now you might be wondering who’s face the Decepticon logo was based on? Well, let me give you a hint. His name starts with “S” and ends with “oundwave”.

You might be thinking “Why would Prowl’s face be the basis of the Autobot logo?” Wouldn’t Optimus Prime’s face have been a more logical choice? Well, that’s quite the mystery still. One of the theories doing the rounds is that both Prowl and Soundwave were originally considered as potential leaders of the Autobot and Decepticon factions. You see, the Autobot and Decepticon logos were designed at a very early stage of development, probably even before most of the Transformers were even properly named. My personal view is that the afforementioned theory might be true, but I would not be surprised at all if the original designer of the logos just picked two robots of both factions and created stylized logos of their faces without any real regard as to who would ultimately become the leader of either faction.

Probably due to the fact each one was the perfect example of Con and a Bot
