I wonder if you people can help me I'm trying to remember the name of a toy but I dont remember the name of the line.I think it was early 90's It came with a figure which looked a bit like a power ranger and a dragon, I think the dragon could transform into something else but Cant remember what, I think it was a jet. The dragon could also combine with the figure like armour. The figure was red and grey the dragon was red,black and gold. I think I had another one which was the same figure but with a drill tank that combined with the figure, there may of been other vehicles in this set but my memory is a bit fuzzy on it. Any help would be appreciated.

New laptop goodness! =D =D =D
It runs real smooth; faster than the one I used to use even.
And Vista works fine. I guess I'll never understand people's complaints about it...
Now to figure out how to get the usb mouse to work....

My question to Hasbro:
HasbroToyShop.com is listing some new Transformers Deluxe Class figures (Megatron, Optimus Prime and Overkill). Will these figures become available through your UK site, or will UK collectors have to get American friends to help them out? Thanks in advance.

to be honest that reply is pretty ambigious, they basically saying they dont care enough to know, what they get or gonna get so its just a big meh
i bet they don't even know what item were asking about
btw wht do they mean by without prejudice?
looks like i'm going to my american source, from where i got SDCC nemi prime from, better safe than sorry

As you say, it's a pretty useless answer, and it's not the first time I've had that happen. I'd rather a definite "no" than a "well, we're not really sure." Great. So do I need to make alternative arrangements to pick up Overkill and Dragstrip, or will they be shelfwarming on half price at the Entertainer in a couple of months time?
HTS replies are usually just standard answers I think, notice how they don't mention the names of the figures you asked about (the same happened to me last year when I was unable to find Bonecrusher anywhere in York). I reckon the best thing to do would be to find out contact details for the head of Transformers here (I think TF@themoon know them) and ask them (I believe it's a she) directly

That's pretty damn sweet RC. Kinda reminds me of Cybertron Lugnutz.

Crankcase is the blue repaint of Cyb Red Alert. Which reminds me, I want Cannonball as well. Annoyingly, pretty much the cheapest way to get him is by buying a two pack with Downshift. I have Downshift already and don't need another.

Well, if you happen across one of those two packs for a bargain price you just can't pass up, I'll relieve you of Downshift.
I completely forgot about his release during cybertron. (If chronic ain't up to the task that is!).
Not quite wheeljack chronic mate. You're thinking of energon downshift.

Electron: Yeah, I've spotted that before. Problem is, by the time you add shipping, it's only a quid or two cheaper than buying the two pack. Might as well buy the two and see if anyone wants Downshift.
