Pink was pretty common in the colour schemes of early nineties bots. There's always been such a shortage of fembots, I guess it takes a little imagination to expand their ranks.

It kind of sucks that Road Caesar was completely ignored with the British/European Motorvators release, but at least we were getting a lot of transformers that never had an official release in the U.S.

nah i havent still got them, when i moved out of my parents house a few years back i asked them to store all my G1 TF's (Powermaster prime and the motorvators and a fair few other imports and rare bots.) Found out a few months back my mother threw them away, you have no idea how gutted i was.

Yeah, i remember on the back of their boxes having the pick of the 3 of them with overlord coming up in the background. o this day, ive NEVER seen another motorvator anywhere, even on ebay. I still remember my favourite part of them was that when you transform them to alt mode, you slide their face's from out of their chest's and they became little drivers lol.

Interesting... all three? I really wanted them at the time, but no dice. Never saw one in person.

Can you confirm that Hasbro left out the parts to complete Road Caesar? I don't recall any mention of him in any of the European release stuff.

Well I know that much, lol. I was just wondering where he'd come up to on Max. Around Sixshot's size?(G1)

... Y'see the thing is, I mostly wanted to talk up just how awesome Overlord is, but since you push me to it, truth is he can barely sniff Fort Max's crotch.

Wow...he's still a pretty big bot! Bigger than Jetfire, and Metroplex! And I never realized just how bulky Scorponok was either! wow... =3

Ive never seen half of those tf's so its nice to see a size comparison......and now i know why Maximus is soooooo expensive lol.........big aint the word :shock:

Aha, an opening! This thread reminded me of an oddity I found a long time ago and still remembered on tfu.info, the Rescue Force! http://www.tfu.info/subgroup/subgroup1.htm#resc You'll have to scroll down to find it.

Anyway, it's four of the six members of LioKaiser, only remolded and recolored as Autobots. What's up with these guys? They just seem really random, and lost their cool Breastforce gimmick(it rocked in the show at least, don't have the figures) as well as the other two members of the team. And were those the actual names?

The Rescue Force is a nice set, and a good way to grab some interesting figures if you don't have them.

Bad things-- No chest plate TF partners, no combiner parts...

My little brother happen to own an incomplete overlord, which I remembered being played a lot since our childhood. After begging him shamefully :oops:

, I finally Have it! So then after Finding all the missing parts, icluding it's japanese box. I quickly change my mind selling Him, knowing he's one of the holy grail in G1 Universe and one of the best sought after figure. I almost forgot he has a lot of accessories. Too bad I can't seem to find its paper work and character card.

Well, One thing is you could Display it along with your other Transformer Toys like Mr. El Duque did (with apologies). :grin:

Another, you can always Brag about how this powerful Decepticon Badboy nearly kick the Autobots Butts in "The Last Stand of The Wreckers" IDW Transformers Comics Mini Series.

Kidding Aside, You might have overlook Overlords features like having three modes, sprung off weapons gimmicks to name a few.

He earns that place by being one brave little toaster!

Thanks for the kind words about my collection!

Ejector is one of the few movieverse figures that hasn't been put into storage, because............well he turns into a toaster, and for some reason I find that awesome. He just kinda ended up there because there was an open space, but he is a brave little toaster! Don't worry he can take the heat.
