Unfortunately, that doesn't help me at all because it only shows their robotic faces; and I have mine in vehicle modes. If it would help to narrow the list and make it easy to help me out, a person could give me a list of scout class dune buggies and scout class motorcycles between Armada and now.

Did you actually try clicking on any of them to see the full galleries?

Like I said, exploring and discovery, it's much more fun than having everything handed to you. I know you can do it, I believe in you! :wink:

Sun May 07, 2017 6:52 am

I clicked on one of them that might've been the motorcycle; but unfortunately, it wasn't.

Crankstart is the dune buggy I was looking for. Now I've only got one to go.

Brimstone is the motorcycle I was wanting to know about. I didn't find out from that website. I did a Google search and got the names. Now if only someone could sell me Tankor's shield.

In movie continuity, ransack is an old transformer. Like jetfire. Starscream an co are a lot younger than him.

Sort of like the Autobot Kup who's an old veteran but didn't appear in the toyline and cartoon until a lot later? I had one of the G1 jet repaints because my brother gave him to me for Christmas one year, and that was Dirge who like some of the other jet repaints had a slightly different mold because you couldn't rotate his wings when he was in robot mode like you could with the first three Deception jets that came out.

Yep. Just like kup.

You can rotate durge wing's. If you're talking g1. That waa the only seeker me and my brother had. We woud flip his wings behind his shoulders and use him as starscream. He looked pretty awesome. Or you could just pull his wings off and flip and switch so the top of the wing fced forward. You just had to angle them back slightly to clear the arms.

I don't have any of my G1 Transformers anymore. My mom encouraged me to give them up because I'd play with them for awhile and then let them lay around, and she had me transform my Gobots and Transformers into non-robotic modes and then sold them at a church rummage sale for cheap. I wish I would've held onto them because even though they were loose, they'd have value to collectors by now.

I don't know if there's a Transformer named Brimstone in the Titan Returns line, but I'd like to see one called Hellfire. That way they'd be putting out a Parson's style of preaching known as Hellfire and Brimstone.

Remember that link I gave you? You can actually search by name.

It's amazing ...

Sun May 07, 2017 6:13 pm

Well I looked at that link; and there is no Hellfire, so I guess Hasbro wasn't or isn't interested in giving people a Hellfire and Brimstone message. I saw an unopened Brimstone being offered for sale along with another Transformer for $80, but it looked like a different Brimstone than the one I have unfortunately. It'd be nice if someone offered me $40 for my loose Brimstone because I'd take it. He's in perfect shape for a Transformer that's loose, and changing him into a robot isn't hard, but changing back into a motorcycle can be problematic because the front wheel comes apart when you turn him into a robot, and it's worse than fitting two tight fitting pieces of a jigsaw puzzle when you turn him into a motorcycle. I did some looking through my stuff and came across another pleasant surprise, Rollbar, which will be the next one I use a YouTube video to help me figure out and possibly the last one depending how clear future Transformer instructions that I buy are to me.

Sun May 07, 2017 6:47 pm

Well I changed Rollbar into a robot and back into a delivery truck, but I don't like the force required to separate the roof, and I wish they wouldn't make them that hard to transform. Do the people who do those YouTube videos make any money doing that, and is that like a fun job? I'm in need of a job and was wondering if there was a way to get paid to do the easy ones like Decepticon Rumble, Bumblebee, and Astrotrain that comes with Dark Moon. I don't know how to use a mobile phone to make videos and may not even have one that's techy enough; but if it's possible to go to someone's place in the city I live in make online instructional videos as a job, that would be cool.

My attitude on repaints is this. If you've bought one Transformer that has repaints, you've bought all the repaints.

Is the scout class Bumblebee that's in Walmart the same one that I got at Dollar General that has the instructions on the back of the package along with the specs for his strength, speed, etc.?

You tell us. Do they look the same? Come on man, we both know you're not THAT stupid that you can't differentiate between two toys by looking at them. :wink:

Wed May 10, 2017 4:31 pm

I've never seen the two of them together, so that's why I'm asking.
God bless, Jason Scott Irelan

News Credits: 226 · Wed May 10, 2017 4:40 pm

You've seen them with your eyes mate. Like I said, we both know you're not THAT stupid that you can't remember the differences, if any.

Wed May 10, 2017 5:06 pm

The one in Walmart may have had some black stripes on it, but that doesn't really mean anything if it does. Remember both G1 Bumblebee and Cliffjumper were different colors, but they were pretty much the same except that one was a different kind of car.

No one can answer that without seeing them. Do they look the same? If so, the answer is yes. If not, the answer is no.

Wed May 10, 2017 7:53 pm

Well is there someone who can tell me if it's possible to make money doing instructional YouTube videos about Transformers? I am thinking about getting one of the larger versions of Bumblebee. I saw one that came with another smaller figure.

I've heard rumours of Youtube reviewers that make 6 figures a year from their reviews. But it's just a rumour, I have no idea how true that is.

You definitely won't become a millionaire from it. But hey, go for it. What do you have to lose?

Wed May 10, 2017 9:40 pm

What's a link to submit YouTube videos I make to?

Astrotrain seems to be a strange one that the Decepticons would like to have. I can understand that they wanted ones that could travel by land and air; but with Astrotrain as well as any other one that turns into a train, he's limited as to what kind of terrain he can travel on because trains are only built to run on tracks. Now the Titan Returns Voyager class Astrotrain seems strange because of the guns. Who ever heard trains having any kind of an arsenal? Finally, I'd like to know how others managed to earn the more expensive Transformers when they were too young to have a job.

Youtube.com

You'll need to create an account which will then give you your own channel to which you upload videos to. There will be Youtube forums out there for the real technical questions and that's the best place to ask.

Trains having guns? I have.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Railway_gun

Alsi, astrotrain is often seen in train mode running off rails just as much as he is on them. In fact, most train transformers are.
