Oh that is BW Megatron's head

And faux-digigrade legs, and tank turret replacement for the dinosaur head, and mechanical greeblies that look like the t-rex teeth on his collar, and tank-treads on the back that echo the sticky-uppy bits. I really like it as a BW-Megatron vehicle mode.

You gotta have something for the good guy toys to swoosh around and knock over, but most kids would rather be swooshing the guy who is sometimes present and owns a jetpack than the exquisitely portrayed and extremely fun guy who gets a full half of every episode dedicated to how he kicks babies

Counterpoint: as a child I wanted the Decepticons because they were cool as poo poo and turned into jets and insects and guns, or had badass voices.

That was the first Transformers toy I've owned since I was six or so, I couldn't resist, it looked like the toy I'd always dreamed about when I was a kid

and it was!!

This was me but for Netflix Soundwave. A perfect version of my favourite character as a kid, and he's so much fun to muck about with.

The yellowing kinda sucks though.

WFC Springer looked awesome but I really hated all that Siege-style paint weathering. Basically I just want that guy but with a decent deco!

UM, yeah, I dunno - I didn't like any of the recent ones (I really wanted the Combiner Wars one though, because IDW Magnus is probably my favourite version of the character). I guess I'll just wait and see. It's not like they're not going to keep churning out G1 characters forever, after all...

Dang, he looks perfect too, sorry to hear it!

Mine hasn't yellowed as much as some examples online, but it's noticeable for sure. Not enough to ruin it tho!

They should make a Scorponok with an "ancient ruins" vibe. Make his base mode look like a ruined temple, robot a statue, and beast mode a giant stone scorpion.

Anyone else got a really lovely Transformer they loved despite being obviously inferior to the other ones in your collection?

Not even a Transformer, but the GoBot Pincher. The head broke off it, so in robot mode I just used the hawk head. He was a weird lil guy.

Dr. Wu made a pretty good Squawktalk/Beastbox pretty recently, if you don't mind third party.

Honestly I'm not too worried about Slamdance, Netflix Soundwave very much hits the "always wanted the toy but never had it as a kid" spot, and I was only vaguely aware of the combining tapes.
