I'm bidding on a complete armada starscream figure on eBay right now and my question is when did starscream get 2 mini cons ? The starscream that I'm bidding on has 2 mini cons zapmaster and swindle

Zapmaster is the mini that came with Thundercracker.

 

the only difference between the 2 is the color.

 

Enjoy the bonus should you win :thumb

You know you can identify what comes with most Tfs normally by checking out the website www.tfu.info It shows what accessories comes with whichever figure and has an easy search engine

 

But yes, Liege is right. Zapmaster is the minicon that came with the repaint of Starscream as Thundercracker

There are also versions TFU does not cover. I do not have them on my site either, but I have them in ye olde binder. Some toys received packaging variations that included bonus toys, and some of the Armada toys came with extra Minicons.

 

Cybertron did the same thing, where older series toys were sold with Minicons as well.

That is true.

 

I love TFU when I'm looking for a certain figure, especialy ones with lots of "extra" parts.

 

They are figure oriented though and don't usualy cover promotional/special offers unless the main figure is redecoed in the package.

 

Even still they are lacking in alot of production variants.

 

Still, I love the site. sometimes I just go there to click for the sake of clicking and finding something new :thumb

 

case in point, I just won the G1 tyco train set. I know it's missing some of the cardboard parts, but they have no information on it.

 

I'm actualy looking forward to shooting what I'm getting and offering the pics to the site.

 

While TFU isn't 100% it is still a right to the point invaluable collectors tool. As a collector, I'll be happy and honored to add to that

 

TFormers my TF home will also be privy to these pics :thumb
