The Original 18 Autobots and 10 Decepticons


Bizzmoff

Recommended Posts

If you had to assemble a modern representation of the original 28 Transformers first offered in the 1984 US catalog - who would you put in the group? I'm not stuck in '84 but these were the first guys in the stores, in the comics, and on the show that started it all. I like an homage every now and then in between the new guys and the repaints. Have fun and good luck finding a Rumble/Frenzy and a Buzzsaw/Laserbeak replacement :thumb

^ I'd say here would be a good place to start looking. You can pick the colour, then the alt mode to get close matches.

 

I'm gonna have a think in the shower & try to make a list. (I've done similar with my A/E/C/C 'bots by just putting all the G1 homages together on 1 shelf.)

^ That site is truly awesome.

 

My idea wasn't a very good one - the Autobot cars might as well all be ALTs. All we need is a Ratchet/Ironhide and a Trailbreaker mold and we've got the 11 original cars.

That's kind of what I'm doing. But I'm kitbashing them from existing molds. A few already done, much more to do. I haven't decided on Optimus or Megatron yet, cause every new series seems to be better molds than the last. Are Classics the best or will something ever better be coming soon?

 

So here's who I'm using to kitbash my updated 84 bots and cons:

 

Minicars

Brawn - C Overhaul

Bumblebee - C Brakedown

Cliffjumper - C Brakedown

Huffer - C Armorhide

Windcharger - C Clocker

Gallery: Minibot kitbashes

 

Gears - C Hardtop

 

 

Cars

Ironhide - E Towline

Trailbreaker - C Red alert

Wheeljack - E Downshift

Gallery: Car kitbashes

 

Bluestreak - C Crosswise

Hound - C Cyber Defense Hot Shot

Jazz - C Downshift

Mirage - CL Mirage

Prowl - C Crosswise

Ratchet - E Towline

Sideswipe - E Energon Hot Shot

Sunstreaker - U Downshift

 

Cassettes

Frenzy - E Signal Flare

Laserbeak - E Divebomb

Buzzsaw - E Divebomb

Ravage - E Battle Ravage

Gallery: "Cassette" kitbashes

 

Rumble - E Offshoot

 

Planes

Skywarp - CL Skywarp

Starscream - CL Starscream

Thundercracker - CL Starscream

 

Communicator

Soundwave - C Soundwave

Sideswipe - E Energon Hot Shot

Sunstreaker - U Downshift

Well, for my Sideswipe, it's a WIP and I've already made the mods so Hot Shot's hood can rotate around and become his chest. (Just have to resculpt the head, create a rotating wiast and make some feet. Which will take a while since I have 3 other bashes in progress too and have very limited time.)

 

And as for Sunstreaker, this quick digibash should show why I will be kitbashing U Downshift.

    • Finally, we have some official, non-side-released, Rise of the Beasts toys to check out. Beast Combiner Optimus Primal with Skullcruncher is a fun toy, borrowing heavily from the Spark Armor concept from Cyberverse while bringing something new to the table. You really have to like the wink and a nod homage to the very first Beast Wars release from back in the day. While targeted towards younger fans, there's more than a little here for older fans as well.
