Hello, I'm going through my collection and trying to make a list of what I have and I have a Transformer that I can not figure out what's it's name is. It's the yellow repaint of Armada Sideways from the first Universe run. I checked Ryan's galleries and can't find it and Google was no help. Anybody know what the name of thie figure is?

It's likely Energon Rapidrun, is this it?

That's him. I thought that was in the original Universe line, not Energon. Thanks.

If you know which character originally used the mold, you can usually find what other characters got remolded/decoed from that figure if you look it up on TFWIKI or TFU. Just in case this happens again, now you know. And knowing is half the battle... Wait... wrong franchise!

Hi!
I'm new here, not really a Transformer collector altought I have some from my childhood. I need help with one of them which I can't identify and I thought that using this forum and this already started thread it would be a good idea. The figure has to be from the 80's and it doesn't have any trademark. I'd be very thankful if someone could help me. Regards!

Welcome to the boards. That appears to be some sort of knock-off (or similar, maybe) of the G1 Constructicon Scrapper:

It might be a prototype, or a stripped-down G2 Scrapper. Beyond that, I haven't the faintest idea what it is, I hope this helps, and I hope to see you 'round the boards Image

Thanks for the info, I had already seen it but I though it was just for loose parts; now I see that people also ask about the whole figures. I'll use that thread from now on for this kind of questions.
