1987 Autobot Targetmasters - TFSource Article

Postby Maz » Tue Sep 22, 2015 6:12 pm

1987 was an exceptional year for the Generation 1 Transformers, arguably the best depending on your persuasion. There is an awful lot of justified affection for the Diaclone and Micro Change Series era moulds that Hasbro used throughout 1984 and 1985 (even 1986), but the post animated movie futuristic designs that Hasbro and Takara created purely for The Transformers stand proudly on their own in 1987. From Headmasters to Targetmasters, Sixchangers to the enormous bases and Monsterbots to Clones, Transformers was enjoying a great period. A period that may be even more appreciated today than it was at the time. A few weeks ago we looked at the three 1987 Decepticon non-movie Targetmasters, and this week our gaze falls upon Pointblank, Sureshot and Crosshairs, the 1987 non-movie Targetmaster Autobots.

Weapon: Battle Blades
While I prefer the Decepticons on looks alone, you're definitely right that these have more creative transformations and hold up better over time. Crosshairs is my favorite of them, remember getting a loose/complete/close to minty one at Botcon 2009 for $30 or so and having a ton of fun with it.

I've noticed that it's much tougher, or at least it was much tougher, to find a Pointblank body in good shape. Something about that red plastic gets powder-y over time, best I can describe it. Seen several (and have a junker one) that look like they need a serious bath. Anyone else seen anything like that or is it all in my head?

Motto: "'Til All are One!"
Weapon: Electron Gun
Great article, Maz. :) Those targetmasters were pretty well-engineered. Not just 'for their day', but overall!
Not caring about scale since 1984. Just like Hasbro.
