Transformers G1 Represent!

I had more photos in this set, but they turned out looking quite bad once I put them in my flickr. I couldn't tell if it was the monitor at work I was looking at them on or if I had a bad angle on my laptop when I was editing that messed up the look of them. Either way I left a few of the bad ones in to look at them on another computer later, they are the first few. I had to much red in them and it really messed up my editing process. I should have picked a better backdrop....or any backdrop really. But here is my latest set, more may come later once I figure out a better place to take them.



I have always loved transformers, and G1 or Generation 1 has always been my favorite line of there toys and comics. Basically its the style of which they are made and done int. As the years went by they made new series that had the same people but the would redo the entire look of them. G1 is the 80's classic look and the best looking one in my opinion.



Toys R us have been releasing remakes of the older 80's toys in a classic series for awhile now. Most of the good ones are already long since done and gone but you can occasionally find one on a shelf if you look hard enough. Wal-mart and I believe target also get 1 or 2 releases a year. There not vey often and there very rare.



This one is Perceptor, transforms into a microscope and then a crappy looking tank. he has no real movement as his legs have no joints but simply swing out to the side. His feet don't move either but simply tuck under him. It would be a crapy toy in this day and age but because of what it is and when it was first put out its a "Classic" Honestly I love the damn thing. Its got horrid colors and the decals are so lame looking. Its not something you see anymore, its the first one I have found from the remake series.



This is Grimlock, leader of the dino bots. When I was a kid he was my hands down favorite and still comes in pretty close to it now. I saw this a few days ago while shopping for my nephews birthday and just froze up. They had 1 and I had no clue they even put it out, a masterpiece Grimlock. Its pretty big to, I had to have it....but it was pretty costly. They double the price for the remakes, because they can. It may also be because there is alot of metal and higher quality parts but I doubt it. I carried this thing around cradling it in my arms trying to convince myself not to buy it.

Obviously I ended up with it.



TANK MODE!

Yeah look out for that one.....lol he was a nobody in the show and the books from what I remember. I had a big battle between him and Grimmy up there. It didn't go well for him.



The microscope mode was actually pretty neat looking I thought, but they didn't make it functional. Seems it wouldn't have been hard to make it magnify atleast a litte. You can already look down the scope and see the other side, but it doesn't enlarge it any. Missed opertunity there guys



Posing it up, grimlock has a laser sword and gun. Neat 80's features on this toy....they kind of sorta light up....abit. And his eyes change from red to blue if you want. He also closes his dino mouth and can turn his head if you push his tail back and forth. You just don't get features like that anymore.



Honestly though I still think this is one of the best looking transformers even from the new line ups I have seen and the Bay movies. And by far my new favorite in my collection, gotta keep a eye out for more classics though.



Like this one, Soundwave G1 re-release from the San diego Comic Con. It retails for anywhere from 90 to 130 dollars and I would do many unthinkable things to get one of these. Its crazy that they put him out again with all the tapes



I hate you San Diego
