G1 box set:
- Blaster
- perceptor
- Insecticon
- Trypticon
- g1 cone head set
Also there were more platinum sets with G1 reissues/ repaints. One set with Blitzwing and Astrotrain, but with strange color schemes. BW was mostly red,while AT orange and white.
the second set includes Blaster and Perceptor Which seems mostly unchanged from their G1 style. Percy had a new accessory, that can fit on his back and looked like sine sort of missile launcher

Now I am less sad that I just bought a G1 astrotrain a month ago. At least I have some decent colors.

when i first heard about the atrotrain/blitzwing combo i was kinda bummed. i recently bought a TFC#17 blitzwing reissue, and already have an ehobby astrotrain. but if this new astrotrain is all wiggidy whack, i guess i didnt waste my money
oh ive got nothing against wiggidy whack decos (love the YOTG soundwave and laser prime) but its strange that theyd choose to go that route. all im hoping is that if astrotrain if different, so is blitzwing. that would make its purchase worthwhile to me.william-james88 wrote:Yeah, same here. Doesnt mean I wont buy him necessarily, but I am definately not bummed that I got my astrotrain (he came with the G1 instructions too! the only ones I own). I have no clue where those colours come from, but you can totally make out that something is wierd with the colour scheme on the blurry Klaus photo. I deifinitely see the organge/red she was talking about.

whoops! musta glossed over the details when this news broke. theres probably going to be a lot of people upset about this, but not me! their weirdness gives me a reason to buy themwilliam-james88 wrote:Thats been answered too.

If Sabrblade is listening, could you clue us in on what the homage is supposed to be?Also there were more platinum sets with G1 reissues/ repaints.

EDIT: Holy crap guys! I didn't realize at first, but that Han Solo, right there on that box, is the whole reason I started collecting toys. 1996, I woke up one morning in college, hung over of course, pored a bowl, and filled out the order form. A couple months later, on a Star Wars hunt I picked up Dinobot and Waspinator. the rest is history. Sorry, That picture just took me way back.

Omnibots were- which 2 do you have? Downshift (white one) and Overdrive (red) are the best 2. Camshaft (silver) is kinda crappy.
I don't ever remember Fridge being on card. Fridge and Chuckles were always on my 'batshit crazy Gijoes' shelf, along with the Cobra-La team

Hahaha- i forgot about Dreadnoks, they were the masters of stealth- riding into battle on a mad max car or a MASSIVE trike with day-glo hair and clothing.
