I had the Hasbro set as a kid. My dad got me in to G1 so I had a few G1 reissues. I had the movie and the complete series on DVD. I still have them today. Kids at my school thought I was lying when I said the G1s where TF's because they only saw the newer stuff, they looked very different.

Great review. Those Insecticons look awesome.

[@MarkDemeo]

the insecticons were some of the more interesting characters in transformers,they were great vilains.

[@bumblejumper82]

I never had these as a kid either and the first time I saw them in the flesh I thought they were beautiful, but yes; very small. I only need Bombshell now, so I doubt I'll pick up the reissues - the chrome is VERY appealing though! ;-)

bumblejumper82 Hey Ed! How's it going buddy?

[@maddwoba]

Very cool set

[@JoeNerd11]

Those Japanese names are always so interesting. That last one has got to be the strangest I've heard yet! :-) Thanks for sharing, Luke.

JoeNerd11 They fascinate me. Did you know there was a Micromaster released in Japan with a VHS? He was called Rabbicrater! Crazy

I've been wondering when you were gonna get to these guys awesome review luke

[@actionjackman]

mgvillanmp478 Really nice set this one

[@mgvillanmp478]

actionjackman sadly I never got these though I did have a few of the transformers my nephew was really big on them

[@altere.geistgt7387]

Question. Do these have diacast metal?

[@MrJohnjohn35]

ah some nice classic bot's or should that be bug's? i have my slightly battered g1's but that's because i loved playing with them!

[@TypicalTonk]

Oh and BOMBSHELL is a Boll Weevil by the way. And you SHOULD care.

[@fduranthesee]

NOT REALLY YOU G1nner.

[@TypicalTonk]

G1'er and proud,

[@TypicalTonk]

FFS...KICKBACK is the leader. BOMBSHELL: the best in my opinion, is mis-transformed. And how could you not know how big these guys were prior to purchase? They've been cemented in TF lore since the mid 80s. Why would you assume they are the same scale as a Seeker????
