It’s Dromo. http://www.the-liberator.net/site-files/robot-toys/robot-racer-esso.htm Amazing site isn't it, glad you found something useful. Had Wagon Master from that range, can still remember how annoying it was the little rubber tyres came off so easily. Quote

It is someone else. With that i mind anyone expecting any Transformers stuff for Xmas? Bonus Content: Kapow Toys posted this website which has loads of info on Gobots and 3rd party products from the 1980s http://www.the-liberator.net/site-files/robot-toys/index.htm My Wife has had her arm bent into getting me these bad boys. I've been after them for ages. EDIT - That site is tremendous. Whilst I remember the cartoon and had a few toys Gobots are still a bit alien to me. Edited December 10, 2021 by DEF Quote
Paid Members Surf Digby Posted December 11, 2021 Paid Members Posted December 11, 2021 Fucking Hell, that ball point School Robot has given me flashbacks. I'm not sure if I had one myself, or someone at school did (although I can't imagine someone bringing it in to show off), but I've definitely had one in my hands. I don't recognise the head, but when I saw the feet it unleashed memories of me tapping the button at the back to make it look like it was firing bullets out in a machine-gun style. Quote

Hallmark release one annually. Sadly they aren't easily available here. Quote
patiirc Posted December 25, 2021 Posted December 25, 2021 Only bloody managed to get the Ark for Xmas. #embarrassing I'm stopping collecting when Black Zarak turns up ?? Quote
Paid Members DEF Posted December 25, 2021 Author Paid Members Posted December 25, 2021 Playing with these lads. Totally worth the wait. Merry Christmas. Now I've got to get my mits on Starscream, Dirge and Ramjet. At least with Starscream it should be pretty easy to get the TFM86 version. I know it has its detractors but I love the Ark Pat. It's a toy I never thought would exist let alone be Titan sized. Not to mention it includes the double cool Mainframe/Teletran. Quote

I'm agog that managed to get it think it's superb for what it is, need more space apparently ?? Quote

Paid Members BigJag Posted February 6, 2022 Paid Members Posted February 6, 2022 (edited) A new VR Transformers game is about to be released on PSVR and Steam. It looks somewhat similar to the on rails shooter that can be found in larger arcades. It's a sit down affair where the player acts as Bble bee or Primes humans assistant. Using a large cannon to take down the enemies. Grimlock is in the game as are Prime and Megatron. They definitely have gone for the G1 aesthetic with this VR version. The arcade game leaned towards the bay verse. Edited February 6, 2022 by BigJag Quote
Paid Members DEF Posted March 13, 2022 Author Paid Members Posted March 13, 2022 My Wife snagged this Deltof display case yesterday for 20 quid just round the corner from us. Makes the living room and bots looks so much nicer. Proper chuffed. Quote
Paid Members Jazzy G Posted April 4, 2022 Paid Members Posted April 4, 2022 I've been at my Mum's for the past week. Just spotted yesterday she's got a tiny Optimus Prime stood amongst her towers of Hanoi. I took it down to get a better look. Quote

I have that exact figure on my shelf, it’s from the short lived die cast Titans line, I also have a robot mode Grimlock in the same style Quote

I mean, it's fucking awful but it's also terrible enough to be my exact brand of kitsch. Quote
Paid Members DEF Posted April 10, 2022 Author Paid Members Posted April 10, 2022 (edited) Just unboxed this bad boy. Super chuffed with it. Not only is Lost Light now firmly in my favourite comic runs of all time but I got it for an absolute bargain on eBay. £16 delivered for a 9.6 graded book is insane not to mention it's the first issue of this monumental run.
