Hi, I found these in a charity shop in London the other day, have tried to identify them but not really got very far, except think some are not actual transformers(front row), if someone could help and let me know who they are and if any of them have much value would really appreciate it. Thank You

That's a nice haul there. For ID'íng figures, I usually use TFU.info, which has a tool that lets you ID figures first by color, then by vehicle mode.

G1 Jetfire
G1 Silverbolt
G1 Octane
G1 Skywarp
G1 Hot Rod
G1 Dirge

2nd Row
G1 Fireflight
G1 Air Raid
G1 Hound
G1 Ratchet
G1 Sideswipe
G1 Topspin
G1 Twin Twist

3rd Row
G1 Optimus Prime with Trailer
G1 Trailbreaker
G1 Wheeljack
G1 Springer
G1 Inferno
G1 Groove
G1 Ravage

4th Row
G1 Slingshot
G1 Blades
Gobots Crasher
G1 Warpath
G1 Tailgate
G1 Windcharger
G1 Brawn
G1 Pipes
G1 Beachcomber
G1 Cliffjumper
G1 Bumblebee
G1 Huffer

Bottom Row
Gobots Rest-Q
Gobots Jeeper Creeper
Gobots Gunnyr (green Europe variant)
Gobots Pathfinder x2

Phew, I'm done now

top row L to R: jetfire, silverbolt, octane, skywarp, dirge
2nd from top L to R: fireflight, air raid, hound, ratchet, sideswipe, topspin, twintwist
3rd from top "" "": optimus prime, trailbreaker, wheeljack, springer, inferno, groove, ravage
2nd from bottom L to R: slingshot, blades, (gobot) crasher, warpath, tailgate, windcharger, brawn, pipes, beachcomber, cliffjumper, bumblebee, huffer
bottom row l to r: (gobots)restcue, jeeper creeper, unknown, unkown, cy-kill, unknown, unknown

everything here is from the eighties, for transformers, that means g1. therefore they have value, however, most seem to be missing their accessories and therefore not as valuable as is possible, with a couple possible exceptions:

optimus prime looks to have a good amount of his accessories, possibly just missing his gun, missiles, and hose attachments, all of the small cars in the 2nd from bottom row starting from the orange truck and going to the left until the red tank are complete as they did not come with accessories- some of these are worth possibly up to the $30+ range provided they are not broken and that any chrome is not faded/scratched

the front row is all gobots with which i am not as familiar, however, i do know that the motorcycle is the renegade leader cy-kill and he looks to be complete- the wheels are often missing, this may be worth something but probably not as much as any one of the transformers that you have there, even not complete.

Thank you guys for the quick replies, that has saved me a lot of time. You were correct that nearly all the accessories are missing. Only paid £15 for the lot so by sounds of it might be a bit of money in it.

Since everybody seems to have identified everything, I'll just point out that the Optimus Prime seems to be the European version with the very unmistakable red feet.

Whether that makes it any more valuable or not, I cannot say.

I didn't know it had that. Mine has blue.

I believe the red feet variant was produced under license by a French company. Had one as a kid.

Nice haul there, i keep checking local charity shops in sheffield, but alas it appears they dont have transformers, or maybe i'm going in the wrong day.

I was really lucky they were unpacking them as I walked in, two guys in the shop were gutted I brought them, think they were enjoying playing with them.
