Can't remember this TFs name

Postby Kanyon » Tue Aug 28, 2007 1:13 am

I can't remember his name or what generation but I do remember what he looked like when I had him.

Shape was like a Stealth bomber, all black with I think teal on him, a smaller jet came with him and would slide in his back. Also small red buttons on the wings to drop missles/bombs, had chainguns for hands in bot mode I do believe.

If anyone knows this figure, or what generation. I'd be happy. I miss mine =\

Sounds like it could be:
Machine Wars Starscream:
http://www.tfu.info/1997/Decepticon/Starscream/starscream.htm

Your description does not fit him perfectly, but it is as close as I can get. The original version of this figure (Skyquake) had a gimmick where other Predator Jets linked up to him, Starscream could still do this, but the gimmick was removed.

Judging by the time frame and description, G2 Air Raid, though he did not have all those accesories.

However, he was a Stealth Bomber with Teal.

Were/ Are there Any Cool Badass Autobots?

Reading Kanyon's original post, and viewing the pics of Dreadwing, it occured to me for only the 500th time that the Autobots really suck as far as having really dangerous modes. All the cool stuff like fighter jets, stealth bombers, Predacons, etc... all these dangerous alts were Decepticons.

So here's wondering if there were any good Autobots (and their toys of course) who were military style, badass planes, or else destructive machines at the very least? The only one that is really cool I can only think of is Jetfire right now (I'm really sleepy as I type this). I'd really appreciate pics of the toys if you can find the links.

PS: I don't consider wimps like Warpath or those Aerialbot goons in this category.

Hound from G1 was a Military jeep..But thats all the military or dangerous/powerful alt mode the autobots had besides Skyfire/Jetfire. It sucks I know. =\

I wouldn't consider Warpath a "wimp". Sure he was a minibot, but he had one powerful cannon in his chest. Another Autobot with a military alternate mode was Roadbuster, there was also Whirl, and the Headmaster Hardhead, the triplechanger Broadside (one of his modes was an Aircraft carrier), Powerglide was an A-10 Thunderbolt, one of the most heaviliy armed and armored combat aircraft in the US arsenal.

So, while the Autobots aren't known for their military vehicle alternate mode, there were a number of them with some pretty badass military modes.

Are you sure it's Dreadwing and not BB? BB uses the same mold as Dreadwing and is mainly black.

He wasnt pleased.

I've also been trying to remember the name of a particular TF and I thought I'd use this thread as opposed to cluttering up the board with an entirely separate one of my own.

I can only remember a couple details about him the rest is very foggy. This was while I collected them when I was young so this was before any Beast Wars was ever around. The main thing was that he had a voice tube in his back. You talked through it and it made your voice sound robot-ish. He didn't actually transform as far as I can remember, you just pressed a button and the tube popped up. I can also remember that he was mainly blue and red. Any ideas?

All are from Cybertron's gallery:

Headmaster Hardhead has a cool alt:

I love Energon Skyblast:

Image

I don't have them, but the entire Cybertron Defense Force( Red Alert, Hot Shot, Scattershot):

Image

G1 Guzzle:

Image

There are a lot more, but I can't think of them right now, and leaving out Micromasters and Mini-cons. There are some really cool looking Micro's, and some of the designs rock.

That was the original TransFormers Voice Changer. I remember that thing, and that is all it was.

Thanks! You wouldn't happen to know if there's a gallery of him here on Seibertron would you? I can't seem to find one if there is. Nor can I seem to find him on Google anywhere.

He was actually the figure that I first thought of (due to the combining part) but due to not being black, I let it be :D

Um, don't the four limb Aerialbots have dangerous military modes? F14, F16, Harrier and... Phantom fighter jets, IIRC. Couple of the Technobots had what looked like fairly combat-oriented alt modes as well.

Yes but... I can't explain it. When you look at the Aerialbots and then you compare the Seekers, there's just no comparison as to who'd win. I'm not just talking about what's on paper here, as in what their alt modes are. I'm also talking how they look in terms of the toys. Sorry I should have mentioned that more clearly.

Holy heck! Now those ARE badass! But with reference to the above Cybertron Defense Force, that missile launcher... it's very familiar! Wasn't there a Decepticon triple changer that had that too? Can't remember the name. He's in my storeroom somewhere. Changed into a bird of prey as well. Now what was his name???
