The Energon Pub

Hello. I am sorry to say that I know very little about transformers aside from that they are robots that turn into cars and such. I did however come across some toys that I thought may be transformers. I am hoping someone here could let me know if they are transformers or not and if so, give me a rough estimate of their value. Hoping I could get at least $10 if I sold them on E-Bay.
Thanks!

That is unfairly a low estimate. Depending on good condition and how many parts/accessories arent missing, this could easily be worth at least 70/100 dollars or more.
Even a single loose and Complete G1 Optimus Optimus Prime is the most valuable of the lot and he can be worth at least 40-50 dollars by himself.
Fortress Maximus, Devastator Trypticon and Metroplex are also sought after but not much as Optimus. Im not a expert but i have seen prices for some of these on ebay.

However the white model in the second picture is not a Transformer, its a Space Marines battle machine from Warhammer 40.000

I would double that add a zero to that estimate, there are a lot of hard to find items in those group shots that will never be reproduced again. If these are complete and in good shape they should sell pretty well. Complete city bots sell well (even better when they're vintage like these seem to be), Omega Supreme sells well, complete combiners sell well, Jetfire will never be reproduced so he's a big seller, same story with the Dinobots they always sell well in nice condition (especially an unbroken Swoop with no chrome wear). I'd say more like best case scenario of $1400 to $2K. Even if everything is incomplete I would guess you could maybe get $800 at the lowest.

Assuming there are no knockoffs and they're complete and in good condition I'd say the best sellers in there are the Dinobots (they usually go for around $100 each), Sunstreaker can go for over $100 complete without paint/chrome wear, Wheeljack can go for $100 or more, Jetfire with all of his armor and no yellowing is an easy $100, Omega Supreme with working electronics should be over $100, and even without stickers applied I think you could get $200+ for Fortress Maximus as long as he's complete. I think you get the idea, that's potentially $900 right there.

Best thing to do is use a resource like Unicron.com, TFU.info, TFWiki, or Shmax to figure out exactly what you have and which parts go with each figure. From there go on eBay and look the figure and select "sold items" on the left to get an idea of what your figures are worth. If you have any parts left over sell those too, the smallest pieces are the hardest to find. What looks like garbage could be worth $20.

Hello there!

I'm not sure how much you know or if the names will mean anything to you, but here is some help for you regarding your figures.

1st picture is Blades from Combiner Wars. You have the real thing, not the knockoff as far as I can tell. It's on ebay for $40ish right now, though he is originally worth $15. He doesn't look to have any accessories though, so he wouldn't be as much as the complete ones.

2nd picture was answered already.

3rd picture, top shelf: the tallest one is Fortress Maximus, the white one in front of him Metroplex, the Dinosaur is Trypticon and the last guy is Omega Supreme.

Bottom shelf back row, from left to right: Ultra Magnus, Abominus, Jetfire, Superion.

Bottom shelf middle row, from left to right: Blaster, Bruticus, Menasor, Devastator, Shockwave

Bottom shelf, front row, from left to right: Dirge, Ramjet, Thundercracker, Blitzwing, Hot Rod, Soundwave, Scourge, Astrotrain

4th picture, top shelf, from left to right: Defensor, Inferno, Hoist, Smokescreen, Prowl, Sunstreaker, Wheeljack

top shelf, middle row, from left to right: Swoop (one with wings), snarl (one with Stegosaurus tail), Grimlock, Sludge, Perceptor (tall red one), Jazz (white one), Tracks (blue one behind red one), Ironhide (red one in front of Tracks), can't really see the next 2, and Optimus Prime is on the far right, the red one with the blue head.

top shelf, front row, from left to right: Ratchet, Beachcomber, Ramhorn (little brown rhino), Red Alert (white and red car dude), Cosmos, Trailbreaker (tall black one), Huffer, Seaspray, Brawn, Warpath, Swerve (red and white guy) with that red sled like thing between Warpath and Swerve going with Ironhide, Bumblebee and Powerglide.

4th picture bottom shelf, the bag on the left seems to have extra parts from the combiners, so don't throw out anything there!

The 3 purple and yellow robots along with the bugs are Insecticons, not sure if they are the same original 3 or not (Shrapnel, Kickback, and Bombshell), the blue and white ones are Topspin and Twintwist (Twintwist has the blue torso), And behind them is Optimus Prime's trailer.

If you could provide a better picture of that top shelf from the 4th picture, and if you unpacked the bags and loose stuff on that bottom shelf and took pictures we could help you ID the rest and see if they are complete.

I hope this helps! Feel free to ask any more questions!

Also, since by the sounds of it you are looking to sell, I would be interested in Defensor, Trailbreaker, Thundercracker, Shockwave, Bruticus, Ultra Magnus, and that Blades from the first picture once you start figuring out some prices and how you want to do things!

Do you have any of the other Combiner War figures that make up Defensor or is Blades the only one you need? There is a store about 20 minutes away from me that sells everything from vintage transformers, G.I Joe, Star Wars, Ninja Turtles, etc and I have seen Combiner Wars Defensor on display (out of box) waiting to be sold.I can't tell you if it has all the individual accessories for each figure or not, but if your interested I can shoot down there this weekend and check for you.

I already have Defensor in his entirety (he's my favorite combiner), I was more asking as I like to find and get CW limbs that are missing accessories and such and are just the bot.

I dont have access to DMs to discuss it yet, but I'll be happy to mail him to you.

...could you possibly get a picture of said Defensor? I still only have 2/5's of the figures I want for mine...

$99.99. 106ish with tax. Doesn't have the individual weapons for each figure, but has it's combiner weapon.

Is the seller willing to negotiate selling the component figures of that Defensor, or would you have to buy the whole thing? I'm only really interested in the ambulance (First Aid), police car (Streetwise), and SWAT APC (Rook) limb bots and their included combiner parts (since you said they don't have their other accessories), I already have the fire truck/main torso bot (Hot Spot). Blades I'm indifferent about.

It would have to be the whole figure.

The one beside Ironhide looks like Mirage, but his chest is usually white. I don't know why this one's chest looks gray. The one to the right of him is Camshaft.
