Reminds me that I still need to replace my WFC Cliffjumper, I ripped the head off of mine and stuck it on Classics CJ with the intentions of getting another and never did...

Do you still have the body and if so, you willing to part with it?

Technically they aren't third party, they're first party for Fansproject. Clearly the solution is to make an entirely new section of the forum just for situations like this.

Only if I was able to find a cheap replacement figure with the head. Looking on eBay that doesn't seem too likely.

I wish it had been! I love his cybertron mode.

Its cool, but this is a very very finicky bot. it gets tough to sqeeze everything in him. Lets just say it this way, I have just finished writing a list of top 5 cliffjumper toys... and he isnt on it

But to be fair, there are quite a few cliffjumper toys, especially since he became his own character with unique molds in the Prime line.

So many have trouble transforming WFC Bee. Yet, It's always a walk in the park for me. Quite fun too.

Keep looking periodically. I picked up a new one a month or 2 ago for just under $17 shipped.

No need, it already exists. If its just a transforming toy not affiliated to Hasbro or takara, then talk about it in the non transformers toy forum, where we talk of other non affiliated transforming toys like those from bandai. And if you want to talk about your haul of toys that arent from the transformers brand, then please join me in this thread: the-toy-haul-thread-non-transformers-only--p1858599.php#p1858599

Anyways lets get this thread back on track. Got this fun stuff lately. Stormshot was from Walmart and the rest from the thrift shop!



I just love how he can use his two hands to hold his combined gun with ease and no stress anywhere. Also, nice panel lining from Hasbro on the wings. I dont think we've ever seen that before.

[bodrock]

Stormshot looks badass, all-around.

Oh, I see you got the FIRST Mc Donal "Happy Meal" transformers from the 1980's! I love them and they are quite fun. They are from a time when Mc Donald didn't really had any toys that you could buy separately. They only had "ceral box" toys that they gave away to the children. Seemed odd at first to pay 2$ for a toy at Mc donal (like 5$ today) and I only ever got one as a child. Now I have them all!

Oh, and they are Tommy toys too so they are technically Transformers?

Commandrons were sold at McDonald's? Just in Canada or everywhere because I definitely bought mine when I was a kid at McCrory's which was still a fairly big retailer at the time peeking at 1,300 stores. I like them, but I still need the car, was actually checking them out on eBay the other day.

I remember clearly. I was still a child back then and they were defenitely sold at McDonald.At least in Canada. And of course, my parents were "too poor" to buy any. I remember being jealous of all the other children that I knew who had them. I may had a Commandron as a child but not from McDonald. Maybe from some sort of trade and it was used.

They were available in several places. McDonalds in both US and Canada, where the US had a different edition that came with a comic that canada couldnt have due to language laws (same story for 30 YEARS!). But they were also sold in stores as legit toys from TOMY under the name Super Alternators. Here are the 3 packages (McDonalds Canada, McDonalds USA and Super Altenators sold in stores)



And I guess through the merger these are now retroactively part of the Transformers cannon, kinda like GoBots.

[Evil Eye]

Even though I'm on a self-imposed collecting moratorium (I sadly passed up several toys in my local Entertainer) I couldn't resist this little fella. He's really tiny and just cute as a button.

I don't get the complaints about that figure either. Bot and alt mode match the game remarkably well. The bot is plenty articulated that smooshes down into a nice, tidy and perfect take on a cybertronian VW Bug (hindsight is 20/20 yo). WfC Bee is too complicated, RID is too simple... whateves, I scored these fools today at the World of Walley!

[Cobotron]

Nice Cary. Have fun!

WFC Bee is not that complicated.

Anyway, you'll have a blast with Trigger Happy for sure! But tell us if yours have two right sides of the "sled gun".

I was agreeing that WfC Bee was not complicated and that some people complain that it is and some people complain about RID being too simple. Can't make all the people happy all of the time.

It does make me happy that I can report that my Triggerhappy comes with both a left and right gun. I couldn't remeber if TH or HR was reported as having that issue so I checked both before hand.

Yay sideways pics, sorry I'm not going through the trouble to fix

[bodrock]

Triggerhappy is an absolute fave!

I finally saw a Voyager Optimus Prime in the wild (Walmart!)....but I was lookin for Shuffler, Repugnus, Kup and Perceptor lol

I was tempted....

[-Kanrabat-]

Might as well continue the trend...

I do so love it when staff drive a thread off-topic*
Actually got these guys 2 days ago, but only got around to opening them and taking photos today.

Been passing him up since before he was released. Bit the bullet with the reveal (even though I knew they were coming) of OctAne and Blitzwing.
Still not a fan of the "train" mode but otherwise he's an okay figure.

And because ... I dunno. He's probably the most decent modern take on Bumblebee in an appropriate scale.

*I don't like it, it annoys me.

Whilst I have to say that I'd much rather have Astrotrain in a more G1esque form, complete with old-timey locomotive mode (Oh, ToyWorld, why did you have to make your Astrotrain a fiddly, floppy mess?) I actually really like the train mode on that mold- it looks like a massive dieselpunk armoured train/rail battleship, and I think it works perfectly as Sentinel Prime.
