“She won’t get by us this time!”
(She will, in fact, get by them)
Been round the charity shops and picked up some Transformers tat and a super cool bendy neon vampire who appears to be wearing a bonnet (❤️)
Battle Beasts Gargantuan Gorilla! Not especially gargantuan but definitely a gorilla! Usually has red armour though can also be found with rarer orange armour
Transformers Titans Return Repugnus & Dastard meet Battle Beasts Prickly Porcupine/Hedgehog! Bastard meets dastard as Repugnus binary bonds with the suitably mean-looking porcupine/hedgehog (depends on continuity). Nice to see Hasbro can still use Battle Beasts if they want - now use them more!
I never know what to do with the maroon Man-E-Weapons that came with some special Man-E-Faces (& supposedly “Wonderbread” He-Man). I don’t really like them with Man-E plus he can’t hold many (or Man-E) & I don’t have Savage He-Man. Fortunately I had a brainwave… Horde Troopers! #mastersoftheuniverse
1980s Kinder Surprise “Transformers” Mercedes van. Doubt they licensed the cheeky badge. Shares the same torso & wheels as the dump truck though it transforms completely differently. Rather ambitiously it had opening back doors though I broke them off when I was little. Best head sculpt of the bunch
Today in charity shop hunting - Bag of random Imaginext with G1 Transformers, Action Force & vintage Star Wars spares mixed in. Random, but welcome
Due South X Transformers with Cybertron Downshift as the Buick Riviera, Cybertron Snarl as Diefenbaker + Human Alliance-style figures of Fraser and Ray. Only I would buy this set but I would buy it *SO* hard
1980s Kinder Surprise “Transformers” dump truck. Probably the weakest of the 4 designs in bot mode but the vehicle is nice & working dump bed is a lovely touch. The head is very Huffer-ish. There are several colour variants (mixes of red, green & yellow) though annoyingly I got 5 green ones as a kid
One of 4 Kinder Surprise “Transformers” from the late 80s (I named it Hornet as a kid). This funky lil jet was a lucky drop & came in kit form. once built made a surprisingly complex bot with balljoint arms & both conehead & non-conehead robot modes. It was available in multiple colour combinations

Masters of the Universe Man-E-Faces! As a kid I changed his backstory from actor to soldier (inspired by the sergeant stripe details on his arms) who was fused with a robot/monster & needed the suit for control. The image of his feral monster form pounding on the Widget’s door really stuck with me

Tuesday Transformers Tquestion: you can release a crossover collaborative figure with any franchise or property but it has to be an existing Transformers character who is NOT Optimus Prime/Convoy. Who and what do you pick?
