C'mon, let's see 'em already... I wanna know if it's worth running to every mall in town trying to find these guys... somebody's gotta have some photos... post 'em up here already!

you mean the K-B exclusives, I can't wait for those, my K-B takes them out only once which means I have to visit it every day. I recently got the K-B exclusives Energon Cyclonus and Demolisher and they turned out great. Although, my Demolisher's mini-con had a broken peg so I bought another one, swapped the damaged one, and returned it to K-B. Yeah, I know, I return my transformers toys when they are damaged, heck I don't care if it's a deluxe and I end up ripping the cover art, I just tape it back.

 

Anyway, I can't wait for this Constructicon set.

Yeah, I just found them at my local KayBee. My only problem is that they only had 5 of the 6. They had one more, but it was a duplicate. I think the guy before me bought a set and picked up the wrong one. Now I have to drive around town to find the last one.

 

To answer your question, I know there were some pics around here a while ago....I'll go dig some up for you.

Well, here's the package pics, I haven't found the figure shots yet.

 

I'm missing Hightower, by the way.

Jeez. Thank goodness where I moved to has a KB toys still!

 

Now.. are these Devistator, or no? I'm -SO- behind on my G1/G2 knowledge.

These are actually repaints of a set of 6 micromasters released at the end of G1 in Japan. There were many sets, all with uncreative names like Six-Builder, Six-Wing, Six-Turbo, etc.

 

These are repaints of the constructicon team. Each member is the size of a micromaster / minicon. The whole guy combined is about 5 1/2 inches tall.

 

To answer your question, he is called Devestator but is not the same mold as G1/G2. These toys are released under the Transformers Universe line, and are exclusive to KayBee Toys.

*nods* The last transformer I actively remember owning.. well, the last 2 from my childhood, was a part of Devistator (I had the gift box), and Blitzwing...

 

Only lately have memories resurfaced of a Osprey-like chopper that was my faforite, and a gestalt that had a jet for its core... big and autobot-ish...

 

*sighs* What I wouldn't give to have those back.

Blitzwing is still one of my favorites, and I own a lot :D

 

I think the toys you are talking about are Whirl and Superion:

If the second one isn't who you were thinking of, give me a few more details and I can tell you who it was.

Nope.. Neither of those. =P

 

BTW -- TBH I was always jealous of a good friend of mine at the time who had Jetfire (the Macross one) and Astrotrain. It's why Astrotrain is the ONLY commemorative series toy I plan on buying...

 

The heli had two rotors, blue, on either side. A white body too..

 

the gestalt.. the part I'm remembering was red and white, with twin cannons... at least one of its limbs was a race car... it was sturdy, to say the least.. I mean, I put it through years of abuse.

 

Athenor (who, btw, also remembers owning little casettes that turned into magnetic board games at the time... to give a timeframe of reference if it helps.)

The combiner was probably Computron then.
