lols if I had though andy my mates kid would have them off me for sure
my cousin used to have Transformers I used to play with them when I was little geez they've been around ages
Posted by Rookwise
They've been going in the UK since 1984 Kerry.
Transformers is coming up to 25 years old now. Some of the early figures were actually available in older Japanese toy lines from 1976 onwards.
Got loads of Generation 1 and the 90's Beast Wars figures all boxed up in the loft. Some of them are worth quite a lot nowdays (My boxed G1 Soundwave with all the cassettes is valued at just over £800 alone)
Also have a complete collection of Transformers Armada figures boxed up now (The complete Armada line is £7000 in vlaue alone)
Posted by Miss UK
Bloody hell you should sell them if there worth that much!
Transformers "Robots in Disguise" lol
very catchy phrase back then
Posted by Rookwise
Nah they're staying with me till I retire
Just think of how much their value will be by then
Posted by *Jojo*
When I was just a kid . . there is still no TANSFORMERS . . . the only TRANSFORMER that we have in the house is the one which converts electrical output that is attached to an appliance, say: TV etc.
During my time . . . it's: Voltes V, Mazinger Z, Daimos, Grendizer and Barbie Dolls that were - IN !
Posted by Miss UK
Andy they will pay for your retirement home then
JoJo, did you collect Barbies?
I had Care Bears and My Little Pony I hated dolls lolz

@Jojo
Surely you remember:
Robo Machine (Gobots in the west), Microman, Micronaughts, Battle Of The Planets, Ultraman (70's version), Pole Position, MASK, Jayce And The Wheeled Warriors, Robotech, Macross, Speed Racer, Starcom, Ulysses 31, Visionaries, Voltron
and many more
Posted by *Jojo*
@staz - Yes, I do remember some of those . . . the very memorable one is the TV-show - SHAIDER (japanese) . . . because they say that the guy who plays the lead role resembles my - FACE
Posted by Rookwise
Oh, and in the East. Transformers on TV was originally called:
FIGHT !!! Super Robot Life Forms
Then it changed to (From Scramble City onwards):
Transformers 2010
Along with the rest of the G1 continuations:
Headmasters
Masterforce
Victory
Zone
Battlestars
That was the end of the Generation 1 line. The Generation 2 show was just re-runs of the early G1 cartoons.
Then Came:
Beast Wars (Beasties in Canada)
Beast Wars 2 (Including a BW Movie)
Beast Wars Neo
Beast Wars Metals
Beast Wars Returns (Beast Machines in the west)
These had references to Generation 1 as the Beast Wars Maximals and Predicons were decended from the Autobots and Decepticons.
Some Generation 1 characters also appeared in the Beast Wars story in full CGI (Optimus Prime, Megatron, Ravage, Starscream)
After these came the Machine Wars line which was never made into a tv series and was short lived.
Transtech never made it into production although prototypes of some figures were made.
Then came:
Car Robots (R.I.D - Robots In Disguise in the West). Completly seperate from the G1, G2 and Beast Wars continuity.
Then more recently came the Unicron Trilogy. Namely:
Micron Legend (Armada in the west)
Superlink (Energon in the west)
Galaxy Force (Cybertron in the west)
In Japan. The original 1986 movie wasn't released until a few years later and wasn't considered as part of their continuity as Scramble City filled the gap between Season 2/Fight !!! SRLF and Season 3/TF 2010
And now in 2008 comes Transformers Hero's. Made back in the USA along with Cartoon Network

@staz - You very well know your ROBOTS mate
The only ONE which really makes me awe up to this very this day is that of: ROBOcop !
Posted by Rookwise
Ah Robocop and it sequels.
There are 5 Robocop movies, 1, 2, 3, Robocop: Dark Justice and Robocop: Delta.
Amazon also have a 2003 release of Robocop: Crash and Burn.

SPOILERS BELOW READ AT OWN RISK IF YOU HAVENT YET SEEN THE MOVIE
Got home from seeing the movie an hour ago and I quite enjoyed it.
Blackout's intro at the beginning was great.
Bumblebee "Lubricating" on the Sector 7 agent was funny.
Frenzy was a great little character. His head changing into a spider bot thingy after his body gets cut up and could still transform into any object (First see him as a portable stereo and then as a mobile phone)
The way Frenzy accidently kills himself and the "oh sh**" comment made me chuckle.
Was a shame Brawl/Devestator and Bonecrusher didn't get much time as they looked good on screen. Saying that. So did Barracade (Where did he go after the Bonecrusher/Prime fight ??? )
Bumblebee having his leg(s) blown off/crushed bought a tear to my eye
Ironhide wanting to kill Mojo made me chuckle.
In the Prime and Megatron fight after Prime saves Sam and they fall from the building. Megatron flicks a human and says "urgh, vermin". Then seeing the human fly across the road and bounce off the back of a car.
Just a few things I can ramember. Going to be seeing it again on Sunday along with the Simpsons movie

Saw the movie earlier this week and although it started off quite nicely the explosions in the middle just put me to sleep.

Andy you need to buy that Citroen now
imagine a car like that
Posted by 02
Look what I bought last night!!
Posted by tranced
bumblebee!!!!!!!!!!!
Rookwise's gonna lik it
Posted by Rookwise
@tranced
Its called Ultimate Bumblebee
Stands about 14/16 inches in height an costs £69.99 in the UK. Nice but not for me. No way I'd spend that much on a figure anymore. Although at one time I wouldn't have given it a second thought
I have the smaller deluxe version of 76 and 08 Bumblebee which go in with the other standard size figures. Have the full set so far.
Got Cliffjumper on order (red/black repaint of 08 deluxe Bumblebee) and also Thundercracker (retool of Starscream)
Posted by 02
Yup.... its Sold Out from where I am.. got it for USD136.
HHmmm.... its really cool and fresh for this new 'Ultimate' version. I hope they will make an OP and Megatron version!!
Posted by Miss UK
My mates kid got one which made noises for £20 from ASDA,
it's pretty big too he loves it

They are just the movie ones Jojo. All the others are in the loft. Have about 3000 Transformers figures (1982 - 2007) in total.
Still some of the older ones I'd like to get but they're getting too expensive for a mint example
Posted by *Jojo*

Posted by 02

Posted by Rookwise
