[alphatyrant]

C'mon Eli you must have a question....bring it on!!!

 

[Eli26]

What did the Transformer line originate from and what year did the first toy of the Transformer mold originate from?

Also, what were the American and Japanese pre-Transformer lines called?

Lastly, why didn't Jetfire and Shockwave have reissues made, especially given their popularity?

 

[Bonehead15]

Ravage, Frenzy, Rumble, Laserbeak, Ratbat and Buzzsaw!!

Haha, you suck Eli! And don't edit your post this time!!

You forgot Slugfest and Overkill.

 

[The ill Jedi]

[Bonehead15]

Because Takara owns the mold for them?

[TOE]

Besides Optimus Prime, name some Robots from G1 that do not and / or never showed any sign of lip movement

 

[dekadentdave]

Soundwave.

 

[TOE]

that's one

any more ?

 

[alphatyrant]

Shockwave, Grimlock, Warpath, Seaspray & Bombshell....they either had grills, plates or nothing in the case of Shocker.

 

[alphatyrant]

Microman was another part of Eli's answer and Shockwave was made by a sompany called ToyCo and the company that produced Jetfire was bought out by Bandai meaning Takara could no longer produce Jetfire due to the Macross popularity resurgence.

 

[King Darkness]

Anyway, cool thread TOE

Remember what year?

btw The American version was called Diakrone. Diaclone was the Takara Japanese version, which was derived from the Microman line. The Diaclone figures used sculpts from are now more popular G1 Transformer characters that came with little wee Micromen.

Also, did you know Radio Shack also had use of the Shockwave sculpt, except I forgot the name they used and they molded it in grey plastic vs. purple. Love that you got most of my answers. That was a doozy of a question eh? More to do with the toys past and were it originated from vs. asking stuff about the Transformer history in cartoon and comic lore.
