Full Version: Jousta Roll Call

Ok, Himawari and someone else earlier posting about the Jousta Browning made my brain hurt trying to remember just WHAT was released in the Jousta line.

Just WHAT was the complete Jousta toy line??? 

I admit, I know more about TraS and DC than Jousta due to lack of interest, and for some reason, TraS turns up more. 

http://www.geocities.com/futuristgroup/vfrance.html

appears to have some good info, but as with most, there are gaps. 

So, if you'd like POST what you GOT.

I have translated many of the Jousta Diaclone comics, maybe I can dig them up.

Dunno if it's of any use to you, but 'back in the day'  i had a Joustra Sunstreaker/LP500 Super Tuning. (Yellow rather than red)

Reflector was in the Joustra Line.

The Dinobots were also likely released since they appear in the Diaclone comics.

The back of the F15 box shows Multiforce, as well as Acrobat Type with Diaclone stickers, but as also seen on this page, F15 has plain wing stickers.

pics of the 4 minibots, 3 dashers and 2 tapes. Note that the Dashers' names are the same as was released in Italy under the Trasformer line.

has some nice, if not their own, pictures including the cassette/vehicle schmoes with a bona-fide Microman driver. Also has one of the Browning versions.

Not really related, but appears to be a cross between Energon Strong-arm and Energon Ultra Magnus...  slytf.gif

Here is a catalog scan. Missing in action appears to be 4WD Hilux aka Trailbreaker.

The dinobots were not released in Joustra and although Trailbreaker appears on packaging and paperwork (with yellow fists no less) I've never seen him in Joustra packaging.

Although having said that, I recently saw pics of an MB Trailbreaker, so I wouldn't rule it out.

All the best

You can now add Nissan Fairlady Z Police to that list, yes folks, there is apparently a Joustra Prowl!!!

It comes in a second wave grid/window box like the Ultra Magnus and Helicopter cassette. And it's stuopidly rare as they were short-produced.

The artwork is also not from the two brothers who did all the first wave artwork for the cars, jet, TF cassettes, minibots etc

All the best
