G1 Beachcomber

Buggy mode
Robot mode...

Compare with G2 chrome Beachcomber, I would still prefer this one. No diecast on this minibot. G1 vintage made in japan as usual. However, beware there are KO version of this lately.

* KO with card is available BEWARE
* Beachcomber never officially reissue

G1 Targetmaster NeedleNose with Zig Zag & Sun Beam

Plane mode with 2 targetmasters
Targetmaster Zig Zag & Sun Beam
Robot mode with 2 Targetmasters!

Targetmaster NeedleNose with Zig Zag and Sun Beam. They appeared at the later series of G1. Be frank, I have not seen them in action in the series. I missed quite a bit towards the G1 Headmasters series. As you can see, I'm missing a small piece. There are 3 Decepticon Targetmaster with 2 Targetmasters in G1.

Note:
* Small upper wing is tend to be missing, even mine as well
* Targetmasters are hard to get.
* No reissue/KO know up to date

G1 Headmaster Junior Horribull with Kreb

Headmaster Kreb
Robot mode with 2 guns and headmaster on
Bull mode with tail...

From the Masterforce series, Horribull is one of the 3 Decepticon Headmaster Juniors. The only main reason they called junior because they are smaller than the ordinary headmasters from G1 series. Horribull is getting rare lately, not seeing much of them on Ebay or other auction sites. The hardest part will be the tail which can be used as the weapon. It took me a while to get this piece complete with the box of course. The gun also quite hard to get as parts are tend to get lost in years.

Note:
* The body easily get yellowing. I had a few with intense yellowing turn the body to brownish.
* The tail and the gun is hard to get.
* Original white Masterforce series box and this one is the same but its extremely rare. It's called as Bullhorn if I'm not mistaken.
* No reissue or KO for this toy known at this moment.

G1 Stunticons Menasor

Stunticons roll out!
Menasor, Superion's arch rival!

Stunticons! Leader Motormaster (black truck), Breakdown (white car), Drag Strip (yellow car),
Wildrider(grey car), Dead End (Maroon car), they combined to Menasor. Natural enemy of Superion in G1 and Headmasters Series. One of the most sought after combiners, however there are fake version of this. Vintage versions are partial diecast and of course with the insignia and the dates of productions. Vintages are made in Japan. I'm never a big fan of smaller guns so I don't usually take pictures of them.

Notes:
* Motormaster chest with roller tend to easily break. I encounter quite a few with broken chest
* There is KO version of Menasor known, no die cast parts like the original

G2 Seaspray

Chrome blue, robot mode
Made in China, G2 starts to manufacture in China
Sleek hovercraft mode with original blue chrome...

Not much people are big fans of G2. I'm kinda picking it up lately but this chrome repaints are my favourites. The chrome shiny blue is a killer. Well I feel its nicer than the original seaspray. Only 4 G2 Autobots are chrome to my knowledge, Bumblebee, Seaspray, Beachcomber and Cliffjumper.

G2 Beachcomber

Beachcomber turned green in G2. Robot mode!
Buggy mode!
I love the green chrome but I still prefer the original G1 blue color. G2 series are mostly produced in China. This is no exception but the quality is still there yet. Not till lately though. Insignia is replaced by just a normal Autobot logo paint on. Only 4 G2 Autobots are chrome to my knowledge, Bumblebee, Seaspray, Beachcomber and Cliffjumper.

G2 CliffJumper

Wicked robot mode with chilly red chrome!
G2, Made in China!
Forget Ferrari red, check out the hot chilly red Cliffjumper!

The red chrome is stunning. Should I say more here? I prefer this G2 than the original G1 red. This is hot! Beware of chip paints. Only 4 G2 Autobots are chrome to my knowledge, Bumblebee, Seaspray, Beachcomber and Cliffjumper.
