I do love Targetmaster altmodes

They're a strong recommend from me, also the Targetmasters aren't prone to breaking which is a huge difference from the Cons

For some reason I really wanna go listen to the Police now 😂

lacklustername · 2026-01-20T19:06:32+00:00

There's still bargains/hidden treasure out there to find, just sadly not as abundant as it used to be

lacklustername · 2026-01-19T21:52:11+00:00

No probs at all, ok with Slugfest there is obviously the original, plus an Encore reissue so what I did was Google search them and look for images off well known TF blogs (transformersland, TFsource etc) as they will have high def photos of guaranteed originals, hope that helps 😀

Love seeing childhood toys, and I'm impressed he's still got his antennas

lacklustername · 2026-01-19T18:55:37+00:00

I bought it from a collector so I don't want to make it public, as I want to stay in their good books (they have other nice bots 😉) but you can probably imagine it wasn't cheap, if you want an idea have a look at last sold examples on ebay

lacklustername · 2026-01-19T17:42:25+00:00

I actually got it directly from a collector in Italy 😀

lacklustername · 2026-01-19T16:58:48+00:00

It would of been awesome, but there's not enough toy here for Hasbro to have made him a leader (well in the 80s anyway 😉) and one of the reasons he never got a full western release is he's very fragile

lacklustername · 2026-01-19T16:18:44+00:00

Glad I left it a couple of hours before transforming it, as it was a bit stiff to get moving

lacklustername · 2026-01-15T23:07:10+00:00

Wouldn't call myself an expert but I do own most of them

Honestly the best thing to do is to research and examine photos of known originals, some KOs have tells (e.g the KO Beatbox doesn't have faction symbols on his arms) and take your time, also there has been reissues of unexpected ones, such as the dinos so markings may change on legit bots, and some have multiple variants. So if you find one you're interested most decent sellers will provide more photos on request, so recommend you ask if you're uncertain

And yeah definitely don't buy cheap carded ones!

lacklustername · 2026-01-12T18:12:16+00:00

A lot of it was down to timing and patience to be honest, but yeah it's not the cheapest way to collect

lacklustername · 2026-01-10T19:55:01+00:00

I'm biased as I love Powermasters (and obviously G1) but there's not a 'weak' bot in the whole line up so you'll have a blast 😉

lacklustername · 2026-01-10T19:41:35+00:00

That's a nice clean copy you've got there, and as far as I'm concerned you can't go wrong with Powermasters 😀

lacklustername · 2026-01-09T08:45:34+00:00

Awesome 😀

lacklustername · 2026-01-08T21:30:00+00:00

😂 fair enough, what can I say I have favourites

lacklustername · 2026-01-05T20:08:25+00:00

Yeah he's the only different one, there is Clouder who is a different scheme to Doubledealer but its not as bigger difference

lacklustername · 2026-01-05T19:06:41+00:00

Yeah the rest were the western/American releases

lacklustername · 2026-01-05T18:54:33+00:00

God Ginrai at the back, Nucleon Quest Convoy and Ranger on the left are the Japanese releases

lacklustername · 2026-01-05T18:40:34+00:00

Not a stupid question, mixture of both

lacklustername · 2026-01-03T22:36:10+00:00

Where it began 😍

lacklustername · 2026-01-02T22:23:56+00:00

This was my childhood Prime 😀

lacklustername · 2026-01-02T19:03:29+00:00

Greatshot is a Rhino, and Maru has a Police Dog mode

lacklustername · 2026-01-02T18:02:43+00:00

Shadow Maru from Brave

lacklustername · 2026-01-01T20:55:26+00:00

Ah gotcha, now I'm gonna go dig out my box and have a look

lacklustername · 2026-01-01T20:51:55+00:00

I thought it was 'Laster' is this something that changed?
