Hi everybody,

A child of the 80's and 90's, I grew up with Transformers when they were in their prime. Sadly far too many of my old toys have been lost or past on over the years but, sorting out stuff in the loft the over day, I happened upon a very dusty box with few transformers in a never realised I had!

Looking things up on the net, I have so far identified what I think is a guy called Overlord, Laser Optimus Prime, GI Silverbolt (with accessories incl. Superion helmet - annoyed I never got the other robots to combine) and Sideswipe toy.

The colour scheme and overall look of Sideswipe is awesome and by far the best version I've seen but I don't know what toy line it was from. In addition, I have a blue plane and a red motorcycle with - a still working - light-up buzz saw which I cannot identify. I have attached pictures and would appreciate some help.

Regards,

Matt

They are all Generation 2 bots. You already know Sideswipe. The plane is a G2 Decepticon called Afterburner http://www.tfu.info/1993/Decepticon/Afterburner/afterburner.htm and the motorcycle is G2 Road Rocket http://www.tfu.info/1995/Autobot/RoadRocket/roadrocket.htm. If you come across any others you cant identify, tfu.info has a great system to ID your Transformers. You can find it here: http://www.tfu.info/ID/index.htm.

Thanks for identifying them. Just checked out tfu.info link...what a brilliant resource.

Thanks again,

Matthew

No problem and welcome to Seibertron.

Road Rocket is a rare instance of the G2 paint scheme looking better than any subsequent ones.

Yeah! Seriously. It had more Neon than a Laser Tag Arena!

Anyways, since no one has said it yet...

There. It's been said!
