Even these heads look better than the movie drone "lens heads"

These are among the weakest designs of the G1 Bots, I am on the fence on picking these up. Couldn't they have done TrailBreaker? They obviously still have the mold since Hasbro did a reissue Hoist.

Not surprisingly, these were quite possibly the least popular bots of the whole G1 line when I was a kid. These were the only ones you could find when TF first appeared. In that respect it's an odd choice.
Although I doubt I'll pick these up (I've still got most of the G1's I loved the best), these models have actually grown on me quite a bit over the years. They are so oddly shaped, there's something very beautiful about them.

yeah definitely not going after these two - i reckon that they'd make great candidates for a classics make over together with blitzwing.

If it's not the original G1 toy, I'm not interested. Reissues, Encores, etc bug me.

Its funny. I actually like Ironhide and Ratchet the most from the originals. Theyre just rare and strange looking. Never matched the cartoon, or should I say, the cartoon never matched the toys. That would be more correct, I think.
I will get thise, but not at BBTS as they sell everything for too much. Im sticking to DigitalToys. The nonscalping web toy store. :)
