It was a GIG edition and I don't remember if the box was branded "Trasformers" or "TraNsformers". Nothing is left of the toy.
I remember clearly my delusion when I noticed the robot didn't have the head and was totally different from the cartoon character.

yeah. i dont think i was present in the stores when my parents were buying toys for me back in the G1 days. i remember a whole lot of hunting when TMNT was big though. then came the star wars POTF line, then full circle back to TF's with BW. in the SW/BW days i was hunting for and by myself by then.Va'al wrote:I actually cannot remember if I ever bought Transformers (or other toys, for that matter) myself until I got back into collecting in 2009. I did not have a focus for a long time, even during Beast Wars, and most toys were gifts or charity shop finds.shajaki wrote:regular toy haunts when i was a kid: zellers, hans christians, fields (sucked), sears, eatons, the bay, canadian tire (around xmas). ahhh... good times.

If I am not wrong in the first USA classic comics appearance (I bought the IDW volume one in E-book version) Ratchet looks exactly as the toy. After some pages he changes and get the cartoon look.

Right you are. Yeah the first issue he did look like his toy and second issue possibly. I think the third is where he was drawn up to look like he did in the show. With a slight difference in color on the head but pretty much the same.

We would spend hours trying to figure out the transformations by looking at the pictures!

I still do that! Though now it's by looking at photos on the net, not a catalogue, but you get the point.
