Pre-Transformers

Just found me a microman, if that is what they are called, for $1 at a used toy shop. unfortunately he has mismatched arms I noticed that he would be a perfect size to drive a Choro Q car.

There were a number of smaller transforming toys made by I am pretty sure a was Japanese company named "Mark" that were released mostly by GiG. Stuff like the Focus Robo as a mini-Microx and the Robo car as a Mini-Black Cherry Vanette. Anyone know of these and what the deal is with them? I have always wondered.

I know that this is the mold that G1 Jetfire is based on so i'm assuming that there won't be any problems clipping the Jetfire armour onto it ?

Through out the years, there have been many Pre-TF surprises come my way. Among them, some of my favorites were always the cassette warriors. Recently I sold a couple prized doubles from my collection, which prompted me to revisit the subject. Any usual Transfan will remember the key 3, Laserbeak, Ravage and Rumble, and of course Frenzy and Buzzsaw. But not many know about the Pre-TF colorvariants, some exclude them all together till recently. These original 3 molds were made in exclusive MicroChange colors. Ravage and Laserbeak in blue, and Rumble in red and blue colors. EHobby remade the Laserbeak and Ravage with a slight alteration to the tape decal…

I have this old toy. I have wondered for the longest time what it is. On the back it says © 1978 Carolina Enterprises Inc, Made in Taiwan. Also has a logo for Empire "toys kids love." His left hand has some very pathetic spring-loaded shooting action. In the heels of his feet he can shoot these sharp pointy little yellow missiles - they were hella powerful! Edit: BW Snapper is provided just for scale purposes. The yellow alien probably stands 8" tall or so. His legs, body, and upper arms are die cast, while I think the rest is plastic.

I won this on Ebay. But I cant seem to find any mention of it. It might be a KO, was there a binocular set along with perceptor, blaster, soundwave, megs etc? the 1:1 scale spy bots?

What do you all think a good Diaclones site should be? With a small group of Diaclone fans here. I was thinking it might be cool to open Diaclones.com up as kind of group project. I am not really doing much with it. I can offer hosting and apps, and what I know. Is anyone here is into joining up to create a better site for Diaclones fans? Post below or PM me with your questions and ideas.
