I had over 100 transformers, and I found out about 5 years ago my mother sold em at a yard sale for a buck each. They were in excellent shape with all the accessories !!!!!

Toyrus, $15, its a WRX STI, complete with WRC graphics.

yeah i have this one, it's a biotch to transform, and when you get it back to the car form, you have to mold it like puddy for it to stay right

I thought this thread was about power issues.

that's what i thought too.

I remember the old transformers where you get all of one particular set you can make them come together and become a giant robot.

My parents never bought me the transformers (too expensive), I walways got Go-Bots (poor man's transformer).

Yeah you know, back in 1986 or whatever, my parents bought me one, about the same size as the one I just got, and it was $20 back then. My family was poor back then, so I didn't really appreciate until now how expensive these were at the time.

I mean even now, this one usually costs $20 and thats still a bit much.

We had the original Optimus Prime (with trailer and everything) but it got broken and lost and now I think it went to a tip somewhere

That'd be funny if you were mistaken and bought just a normal model car.

Are the alienators made out of metal or plastic? The paint job looks like its metal.

Alternators are plastic, while the Japanese version(BinalTech) are metal.

Heck, even go-bots were made out of metal back in the day.

Are kids these days actually playing with these things like we did, or are these mostly being sold to grown-up kids?

 

[weirdichi]

From the Hasbro site: "Removable intercooler becomes a weapon." Next they'll have Type R stickers double as ninja stars and coffee can pipes double as bazookas.

 

[spanky]

i've had the problem before. i just looked for some before and after pics online.. eventually i was able to hammer it out.

Plug it in
