"Name that Transformer for me..."

The old series, a big plane that was on the Autobots side. I had the toy - it was white, red, big and made of metal! Anyone got one they can sell me for a fiver?

You fool! They fetch a lot on e-bay so do a search there.

Hey, come back I found it!

It was called Jetfire, but also called Skyfire in the series. I can't believe I got rid of this - look at the condition of that baby! And how much it's going for! It was definitely one of my favourite "toys" as a child and I'd love one again now, just for the nostalgia trip. Apparently they're quite rare too.

I'm back!

Yes! It looks good.

And it's very expensive.

I had loads of Transformers when I was young. Then my mum decided I'd grown out of them and gave them all away.

*sobs*

i had an optimus prime version 1 and 2. i gave it to someone awhile ago though. i also liked collecting MASK videos and toys. they were good too.

Useless trivia *The design for the skyfire/jetfire toy was actually an old Macross/Robotech one repainted - not designed to match the TV show character as the manufacturers did not think it'd sell well enough to warrant the expense of making a new design*

I am MEGATRON.
"My power is your doom!"

Honest to god.

Although the best one was clearly the one that transformed into a toaster.
Happy days.

Megatron toy was a replica handgun with clip on stock and sniper scope - anyone imagine that being on sale today as a toy ? :) It was even realistically painted, and made largely of metal too....

Just go up Toys R Us and check out the aisles full of toy guns.

They're plastic though, less real
