I know who the cybershark mold using character is as well as Guiledart. But everyone else doesnt look familiar at all.

From top to bottom, left to right:

1) God Neptune (Piranacon redeco)
2) Tako Tank ("Tako" means Octopus)
3) Guiledart
4) Kid (Cybertron Mode Tasmania Kid)
5) Halfshell (Snaptrap redeco)
6) Hellscream (upgrade of Starscream)

Worth noting is that Halfshell is the first time the toy's robot mode was animated, that goes for the rest of the Seacons as well. In the Seacon's debut in Masterforce, they only combined, and never transformed to robot mode.

Thanks for all this Jelze, I have some more characters which I have no clue of. Which toys do these characters come from (aside from Tasmanian kid, I know him):

All but the last one are from Beast Wars Second. The last one is from Beast Wars Neo.

Can anyone let me know who these guys are and what line they are from?

On the right appears to be Turbomaster Hurricane, I'don't know about the jet on the left I'm afraid.

EDIT: Turns out the jet is Predator Falcon, I was looking under grey rather than blue

OK, some more questions, what is this?




And which version of rotf devastator is this? is it complete from the looks of it? And is it a good toy?

That's the Battling Deer Stalker from Battle Beasts.

That's the Legends version... and Scavenger looks like he's missing an arm. He's shown connected with Overload. It's a decent set, if only for the fact it's the only one with robot modes built in.

Can't say I've a clue what the green dragon head thing is, but that's the legends class devastator set by the looks of it (I think it's the hasbro version but I can't say I'm certain on the difference). Looks complete to me, although whoever took the photo clearly couldnt figure out how to separate overload and scavenger which is fair enough, you have to get the angle just right . I'd definitely say it's a fun little toy, it's the only release of the rotf constructicons with vehicle, robot, and combined forms and I'm somewhat of a sucker for cyberverse/legends class stuff. A couple of the individual bots are obviously rather limited by nature of being 6-ish cm tall triple changers but overall they're enjoyable and the set works well and looks pretty decent imo

I figured it might be Battle Beasts, if only from the symbols on top, but don't know anywhere near enough about the line to make as quick an identification as you

I stand corrected! I totally hadn't spotted that, I had assumed they were connected together and in line with the camera or something so it seemed like there was only one part there.

Maybe see if you can get confirmation as to whether the other arm is there or not, as without it you won't be able to properly form Devastator

Thanks guys! That helped me immensely!

Now please dont mock me but I saw the cover of the 5 faces of dakness vhs and I just couldnt help but feel helpless as to know who that other robot on the cover right on top of Optimus was:

Well, in the 90's models for video covers were scarce, so they grabbed all the ones they could find. Optimus Prime still has his Powermaster Body (which never appeared in US cartoons).

Same could be asked of Powermaster Optimus Prime.

The neutered his guns. And is that Cloudburst in the back?

Thank you, Sir

No problem! I had fun.

I have two pieces I need help with, and a front and back picture for each.

The first one I'm relatively confident in saying probably does belong to a genuine Transformer.




The second one, I have the sneaking suspicion it might be some off-brand dollar store thing I bought because I was young and stupid (as opposed to now, when I'm just stupid), but let me know if I'm wrong and it goes to something with a name, please.
