We actually two confirmed names, not surprisingly reused from G1: Hound and Rumble. Hound should be a no-brainer, and Rumble is that red and white Vinny Racer. The latter was first used as RiD Side Swipe.

So the real question becomes ... what should I call the other 4 for their galleries on Seibertron.com? Should I just use the AFA titles?

Well, I can give you the designation given to them by a Toys for Tots auction, which is basically the first time they got name, with the RiD 2001 character for easy reference:
- "911 Police Car" (Prowl 2)
- "GTP Racer" (Daytonus)
- "Black Viper" (Side Burn)
And then, there's:
- Rumble (Side Swipe)
As for the other two I just call them "Mercedes" and Hound.

In our continuing quest to bring you rare Transformers auctions on ebay, comes a little mini-car gem. This blue version of Cliffjumper was produced under license by IGA in Mexico. This mini-bot variant and others like it are sought by collectors the world over. The figure comes carded for a buy it now price of $1,000. Click on the image to check out the auction page.

$1000 for that tiny little thing? 
(If I had the cash, I'd get it, not gonna lie. 
It's my favorite shade of blue.)
Also, as far as the G2 Stunticons go, I'd love to see the Collectors' Club do a repaint of the BotCon 2011 Stunticon set in G2 colors. I understand it wasn't the most popular set, but I like it and I'd get the G2 version nonetheless.

Glancing at the title, I thought it had a price tag indicating it was sold at the IGA grocery chain.
Hmm?
No, that's not the stupidest possible comment, this is:
"Autobots, transvest and Glyph-Out!"
Her/his mission is to ascertain Thrustinator's exact place in the timestreams while beating the slag out of him, which is why I'd love to own this as well. Plus, seeing the '85 mural on the cardback of a toy I never knew existed always makes me feel like all's right with the universe...

I feel like rare Minibot collectors probably look down on us rare Minicon collectors and laugh. The rarest of the rare Minicon teams (3 toys) goes for a grand, and here's this one single Minibot going for that on its own.

As some of you might remember, a year ago (practically to the day), an unreleased G2 Menasor set sold for $26,815 on Ebay. Well, as it turns out, the buyer is now putting it up for bid to let someone else get this rare piece of Transformers History. There are currently 5 days left on the auction and the bidding is already nearing the 5 digit mark.
There are a few things to note though. While this is a rare and unreleased piece, there are at least 10 more of these that exist (which we know of). This is the one which is in the best quality but it is not complete. It is missing the combiner head/mask to completely form Menasor. Major bummer, I know. On the bright side, with G2 Menasor being so much in the public eye, it could inspire a redeco for Combiner Wars Menasor and then everyone can get their G2 Menasor on the cheap(er).

With these ones not being packaged, maybe whoever wins them could post pics of the combined Menasor form.

They are in plastic Ziploc-style baggies, but beyond that, they're also in sealed plastic bags, sort of like Botcon toys. Opening those would absolutely KILL the value. No one paying nearly $30,000 dollars is going to be doing that, unless they sleep on a mattress that is stuffed with money and pee in toilets made of solid gold.
Also, there is a picture of G2 Menasor on TFWiki

Sounds like a BotCon exclusive.
What's the reason why many G2 toys were cancelled for release?

Simple. The line was dying out due to poor sales.OptimalOptimus2 wrote:william-james88 wrote:On the bright side, with G2 Menasor being so much in the public eye, it could inspire a redeco for Combiner Wars Menasor and then everyone can get their G2 Menasor on the cheap(er).
