I'm really excited. Because you guys know how much of a fan I am of Transformers. Yeah, so it's really... No, really? Well, you're not...
Well, apparently not as big as a fan as I'm doing though. Because I was very surprised that Dwayne was a fan as much as I am of Transformers. Well, actually, he did get offended at one time. Yes. You were the bigger fan. How did I get offended? You did get offended. You did. You stopped them in his track and you're like, no, no, no. Real quick. No, no. I'm a bigger fan. Yeah. And you can call me Toby too. Well, how do you call me Toby? Yeah, I think you call me Toby. There you go. There you go.
See? That's what I'm saying. Why is it racial? Why is it always racial? Well, you know what? You guys are the yin and the yang. You know what I mean? Well, if you caught that. Well, Dwayne's everybody's yang too. Everybody's yang. Pretty much. Pretty much. I like I'm looking at this. So we're recording and we are like a reverse Oreo here. The black creams in the middle. What is, what is, oh man, I just realized his hat. So for our listeners out there. For you listening in Radio Land.
The toy guru is wearing a light, a lit up hat cap that has words on it. And it says Cartoon Rewind podcast. Even has a title of the of the cartoon. She has transformers. It's like a free advertising. No, no, no. None of our waiters more. It even says toy edition. Even says toy edition. And if you notice on the background, what does he have in the background? It's a TV set. Well, I know. Talk about marketing. This is a great job. He's in the background. Background.
He's listening to another episode of the cartoon. This is a real. This is why I have podcast producer on my resume. Sirs. Yes, sir. You do, buddy. You could also add marketing now. Yes, you can add marketing now. So all right. So by the way, before we get started, before we dive in and I, and I start with, we start talking about transformers. I want to give a shout out to our biggest listener and fan. All right. So, eras Cruz is listening. He listens every year. Don't miss the weekend.
So I want to say thank you and every time I see him, he's like, I just listened to your podcast. So I want to give a thank you, eras, for listening and being a fan. So really appreciate it. Yeah, eras. Thank you so much. We appreciate you, buddy. Yes. All right. So, friends to listen. Well, he's his friends need his parents approval first. But, but yes, you can tell your friends, tell you teachers also.
We're going to give him in trouble school because he's like on start saying everybody to go listen to. No, but don't listen to the podcast. I have bad words. Skip that one. Okay. So basically, so basically just kick it by mouth. No, no, we get some pretty clean ones. All right. So in this week's episode, like Frank mentioned, we are doing a toy edition and we're going all the way back to our favorite year, which is 1984.
And and probably one of the toy lines that triggered us to be grown men still buying toys or collectors items at the age of 30. At the age of 30. And above. Well, I did my age. I did my age and I guess you guys might be a little older than 30. Just a little bit. What? You're older than 30. Why is he lying? Why is he lying? All right. Fine. I'm late 30s. Still lying. Let's try mid 40s. I am so old. Yes, bro. By the way, this this is podcasts, right? They didn't. There's no video.
So they can see unless they go to YouTube page, but most people are just going to listen to it on Spotify or anything. So I could possibly lied and said that was my third. But one of the let you do that though. I don't know what that should not happen. Thank you. Thank you for the. You're welcome. Yes. All right. So. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. All right.
So like I was saying where we spent our lot of our money buying transformer toys and still to this day buying transfer and transformers toys, which yes, Frank, you could probably at the end tell us some any you just did a new purchase transformers today. I did. I did. So yeah. All right. But transfer started. When did the transfer start? Transfors did in 1984. 1984. 1984. 1983, sir. Thank you. 83 in Japan. Ah, see, but I was talking to us. Yeah. So yes. So so yeah, let's let's stick to the US.
No, there's not confused people are we going are we going to go real deep? No, we're not goes. We just go let them know that. Diaclone. That trick is weren't they called cyclones? Diaclone. Diaclone. Diaclone. Thank you. Diaclone, right? Diaclone. Diaclone. Diaclone. Yes. Technically, too, is Diaclone and then you have the micro change robot toys. Ah, okay. So the micro micro change robot toys, those are ones that look like regular, like Megatron from now if I'm not mistaken.
No, those are the watches and lighter and stuff for that. Those are the mini ones. Well, no, it's okay. So then that would be Bumblebee would also be on that. Yeah. But Megatron, I believe Megatron was there. I think Megatron had a new robot gun from the 19th century. Yes, Megatron. Megatron. Megatron or gun. All right. Yes, it is Megatron. MC 13 robot gun. Which is the Walter P 38 from Uncle. Yes. So, but they also had the wall.
They also had, um, those are a different one that looked like a revolver. Magnum 44. That one would've been a nice toy. You guys ever seen that? Nope. Um, look at it up right now. Definitely show you say but wait, there's more. Oh wait. There's more technology So you gotta love this technology man. So this is the one I was talking about this is the The man I've never seen that one There's a Magnum. Yeah, that's definitely a Magnum. Yeah, no wonder it never made it over here
Yeah, look at that man. It's that bad though. Hey It's a gun Well, so is the Walter who's a mega truck was a gun too But at least they could make it look at least some kind of robotic, but that's a gun. That's a gun gun Actually nowadays if If kids would have that access to that toy like that man, man Yeah, so you can see here the micro that this is the micro change So does this guy look familiar? Of course, that's what you call it our frenzy friends Well in the in the original
Rumble was the red one. Yes, but then they changed it in the cartoon. No, they didn't change it What they did was they confused it So that made a mistake. Yes. Oh, is that what it was? Yes nice Is that freaking bumblebee? It's a new version It's cliff jumper too if you want Yeah, that's true too. So yeah, the portion. No, no, no, you're right. That is that is cliff jumper
That's not the bumblebee bumblebee would be this one here. It's a Volkswagen right here. It's the number three. It's not the mini cars So you had to hear and then you had the Jeep which is brown Then you had the Transant which is wind charger and then the American truck which is hot
Hopper, so they don't have pictures for all these. I remember I had these I love that watch. I Will love to own one of those right now And I think that I'm not sure That's sure the cassette man we all know the cassette man that's gonna be Yeah So And then 84 they came up with other things but nothing I don't think anything really became Transformers I Don't think they use anything for cuz for transformers after that so But yes, so you have those those are two and then the dye clones
Mm-hmm. Well, that's what you get. That's when you get the good transformers So so you have here some here that you can see right there and then we'll sort we'll sell some commercials, but Hey, just let you know the the transformers watch uh-huh is on eBay right now for 49 bucks I don't know you can get a knockoff Does it work is a question Yeah, I'm assuming that it does convoy Yeah, so this time is prime. So this is the the Diclone series. So pretty much all the Autobots Yes So so there
All right, so yeah, just want to say 1984 was a good year. Yes, I was transformers So I started off there and They need a money maker It was and they weren't these weren't very popular in Japan. No one from my understanding So that's why they were able to take it So All right, oh
Oh, that part I did not know I did not know that they were not popular in Japan. They're not very popular. No They weren't very popular at all in Japan Kind of that's why they Yeah, but again, there wasn't a toys that took off at first right it was cartoon And we'll see if you look at some Japanese commercials the Diclones were not, you know, it wasn't marketed that way. I guess excitement was a little different
For kids. Yes. So Japanese kids were a little different. All right, but let's go with let's dive in to The toys that are in generation one or wave one of Yeah, wave one of transformers. So we'll start off with the good guys We'll talk here and then we'll we'll dive a little deeper Let me make sure I'm sharing my screen so you guys can all see a D. Do you remember if there was a special mellow way for wave one? I think there were two
Was there? Okay. I think there were two. Were you challenging him? Is that what it is? No, I was just asking. I think you were challenging him So all right, so here we go. Let's start with the Autobots So the Autobots obviously very good guys and contrary to episode one. They cannot fly Yes, they fly. They fly where they fly episode one.

We'll we'll list out the The Autobots and then we kind of talk about what we had I'm for the for the first time at the party won't have as many as anybody else Because I've heard and I don't think I had a lot of G ones, but we'll see what we got so you have blue blue streak which is a sports car which was 280 Z Mm-hmm ZX sorry Hound which is the army Jeep

Yeah I Face just a sticker and had a sticker. He had a face. He had a face. No, that's not real face No Just because you don't want to stick it on it Just because you don't want to stick it on it.

Right, that's like it was always laser beak. Yes, apparently see every parent every parent has a fairy child No, because it didn't he did He didn't come in until season Three in America Yeah I remember that episode when Roddibus prime when one of his prime took over but in Japan he was there he was he was born He was more prominent than laser beak in Japan I can see that I remember having this I remember having I don't remember having sound wave though. So I remember him because he was gold
And everybody else had a little everybody else looked a little more like a cassette. He didn't look that much like a cassette But you have sound wave Then you have the the two-carded Which is ravage and rumble And then the other one two-carded frenzy and laser beak Frank how much you paid for how much do you remember what these were regular price Back in the days.

Well the team working in the background We'll have the information by the end of the night Frank look it up All right, we're moving on to the jets the seekers as they're known
Yes. All right based off an F-15 jet. They're basically the same and freaking exact jet are these triplets Different color. Are these triplets doing since you call the owns twins are these triplets? Yes. Awesome Seekers So you have sky warp, sound scream and thunder cracker Each one
Each one did something different. I didn't have each one had like different powers Sky sky the one that I remember sky warp would be able to teleport Yes, and if I remember correctly thunder cracker Thunder cracker Thunder cracker he takes massive shit I think he went invisible. I think or I could be really wrong about that one. I don't remember Okay, I would ask the team the research team to look but they're already looking for the other stuff so they can't use correct
He is correct. Thank you. We've got it We got confirmation But it was the only one He was screaming had nothing though right? No, he was the only one He screamed like a little bitch That's it He was just annoyingly screaming. He was always screaming So that's where he comes from All right, and he's also second in command Again don't know why But all right then the leader being megatron Megatron Real nice there nice it's getting good looking gun
Just as good as a magnum. I just don't know why did it make the magnum Come out

So now let's talk about the the Autobots the cars the not the mini ones or anything So which is the best one which is and which is the worst ones and why is ironhine and ratchet the worst ones No face Or where the Frank no face All right, so so from here from here I can tell you right now I had I had Wheeljack Sci Swipe S Oh man Sunstreaker that's it Really that's all I got All right D. How about you buddy?
I had the no face of ratchet That's it Wow, okay Again hard to get hard to get in the island Yes, correct Makes sense All right, so Rolly The top row how many do you think I had? I'm gonna go with three I think you got how ironhine and jazz Okay D in the second row how many do you think I had buddy?
All four All four okay perfect All right, so the top row I did have hound and I had jazz I did Okay, I really did enjoy having hound and jazz in the second row I had Mirage and I had Sci Swipe Sci Swipe Sci Swipe What is everything sound like you're taking a shit?
Thundercracker and Sci Swipe Sci Swipe He only cleans Sci ways And then in the third row Yes The third row of course my very first transformer which is Sunstreaker And as you Rolly, the old Jack was one of my favorite ones to have It had the most accessories like hound you know what I mean And I thought it was super cool And do you see Sunstreaker's missile?
Missiles three of them, yeah Yeah Let's take a look hold on boom boom boom boom boom We can where are they right here There you go I actually used one of those As Optimus Prime's right hand Because for some reason I lost his right hand So I grabbed his missile Put it inside his hand and do you remember Silly putty?
Yeah I would take a piece of silly putty put it inside so that it will hold on And it wouldn't fall off That's what I did man But that was my first transformer right there man Wow that's, I mean again it's a nice and easy to transform Any hat ahead So which is great You also each figure I also showed you their power but you can see it though you need it You needed that red part Even though I can see it perfectly fine Whatever I like Optimus Prime is all the way up here Oh yeah
But there he is he's a Contash Lembergini So nice I liked him I actually I liked I'm not a fan of the jets in the back I get it though I'm more Oh the exhaust Yeah the exhaust in the back To me I thought there were jets There are jets here and then this one here And then this brother side wiper That missile launcher clipped on the side right there yeah Look at it $7 Damn So in the box Look how easy it is to transform not like the ones now
Oh my god some of them I have to look up videos on YouTube Just to know how to transform them because the instructions Well you remember that war the war for Cybertron Prime Oh my god yes Oh my god That was a bad one trust me I remember Yes I do have to look at a video It's just a forever So we just show it we go review it I remember that gun Reviewing all the details The we're showing on the screen right now Of the toy Let's go to the one that everybody hates Let's go iron out
Look at it right there And he separated it was he was transformed but he has separated two pieces So he was What was that red cap thing That the red cap was supposed to be a base He had like a gun No no you see that little top row That one right there Here There's a little red cap I see what you're talking about That little thing right there Yeah what is that little red cap Oh let's see And I did not know that iron hide Broke up into two different pieces Yes he was two pieces just like ratchet
Oh my god look how lame the robot looks I'm telling you I've never owned Um ratchet or um iron hide Yeah and I wasn't that big of a fan Like if you had to look at if I was looking at ratchet Or iron hide and then compare it to even some go-bots go-bots were better Oh my god yes Compared to iron hide and ratchet Yes thousand percent Who the hell wants these crap Again this is the first time I'm actually taking a look at these two transformers in detail So this is the post it's a post gun
So apparently it's it holds the gun when you put it in you put You put the gun you put with the gun in and it holds the gun in place on the base Gotcha So I think we look here Right here see it right there where my where my mouse is Right here right here I see it It's where the silver thing right in the front it stays there and that's and then you clip the thing in the top Gotcha So yeah it was crap crap crap crap Yeah And ratchet's not any better ratchet's ratchet is fucked
No ratchet's running away At least hey at least he was a medic you know what I mean Oh me nothing Let's look at me gun they gave him but he's exact same transformation Exactly same thing Like it's a miracle they even on the instructions used ratchet they could have just left iron hide They could have And you know whatever Same exact accessories nothing changed Nothing changed They did have different variations of it Iron hide project black Well that's their mind It's protect black
Protect black this is a reaction from 2007 but an 83 and 82 you can get the diaclone versions which There it is And this guy Oh it's almost a little dude This one came with a little dude Does it still transform the same yet?
Yes Yeah This has a little poach thing But this one doesn't have the transforming pictures but basically exact same thing Yeah All right And of course no Autobots symbol On the diaclones Yeah Yeah cause he's a robot in disguise Yeah Let's take a look at wheeljack Yes our favorite Yes I like the more in car mode I thought he was a badass Audi I liked it because it was a realistic car that I knew about It was like cool So there he is in all his parts
Boom in vehicle mode and then that's how we transform him Like four easy steps That's it On the five if every one has little wings up Oh you gotta put the wings Yeah You gotta put the wings And that's why you put on the stickers I'm supposed to put on the wheeljack Who used to put on the stickers? I put on stickers Oh I did too I didn't What? You gotta put the stickers on man Yeah I know Especially on my Joes
On my Joes? Oh my god It took too long I was like no So we have now let's move on to the communicator See I don't understand how can it be a working thing How can it be a working thing if you put the His little missile or his batteries Exactly those are the batteries Yeah maybe the reissue one came out like that And there he is in his box Now this one here comes with a different looking bus saw That's basically It doesn't look gold That's basically a laser beak
And they put the freaking somebody must play with this Gonna put the sticker This is I think this box they didn't have bus saw They just put in another cassette thing So here he is Oh no there he is The cassette's the same Boom boom boom You take the batteries You take the batteries out of his butt And then this is how you transform bus saw This chest opens up That's where you put your cassettes Your cassettes excuse me Yeah and there he is And all the guns are like that man
Back in the days they're always on the side You know what I mean Very rarely do you see them where they hold the gun straight Yeah that's alright I work with it I work with what I got And see they don't have any of them in robot mode Well in 2013 they came up with one of Lincoln Park Soundwave Edition Which is weird But there he is Are those are those cassettes?
Yeah and they came with cassette And they came with cassette decks Oh look at that with the case Yeah They got a Ravage, Rattbat Bus saw And that's pretty much it And then that came And then some other ones there So alright and that's that And then Seeker is very simple Let's go with the good ones I mean we show you one You pretty much see them all There you go Don't you have one of these?
I actually have the remake of the G1 Starscream Yeah so That's the one If I remember correctly I had Thundercracker But I've never had Starscream I never had Starscream Never so from the Seeker So let me go back here From the Seekers Would you like to know which one I had? Yes I would and the other one Yes I had none Never in my life have I had a Seeker Okay D how about you buddy? I had Skywarp Okay Man I had one only Which one? You said?
Skywarp the same one as D I always thought it was cool though Because he looked like a good jet Like a nice looking jet That's cool but yeah I know Then everybody for me Yeah I've always wanted Starscream That's why you own That's why you own like three versions of them I actually only own I had no way Yeah I do have about three I think I think I own the one from the animation Then you had the Cybertron version For sure You almost had four And then you had the G1 And you could have had four
The DXL Yeah But no you're a little Let me save money because I'm a responsible adult I'm a responsible adult I have bills to pay No one cares about your bills Waste money like the rest of us No I live alone That's why you have more money And my property taxes just went up And my freaking insurance So that's exactly So you're gonna run out of money anyway At least have materials and joy life The fact you live alone means you have more money Like I said unless you're doing with eight kids
You have a lot of time You're the one with eight kids Not me No I only got four You got eight Is it got four? That wastes money like eight Yes But remember My family's list of podcasts are like yours So everybody's wonderful Everybody's wonderful Yes they are Let's talk about the leaders I'm gonna go right now I'm gonna tell you right now I had both of them Finally a role that I can say I have I did too You had two? Which two?

Because there's technically two vehicles I don't find this complicated Three vehicles that's right I'd be cooler if I had I'd be cool I'm waiting for Hasbro to Make a Transform Auto When you separate the trailer The semi, the trailer disappears I don't think that's going to happen I don't think that's going to happen Separate it boom trailer gone Put them back in robot mode And sorry vehicle mode Trailer is back That's it That's what I need I'm going to go get my box That's what I need
So yeah, loved it This is one of my pride and joy Possessions that I have Just like Skeletor I have Like god, what do you think? 10? Quite a few I have 10, I have masterpieces I I might have to pull the trigger On the 86 From the Transformers, the movie Studio Only because What sold me was a little explosion Underneath Underneath, it sold me on that I tell you Boy, I can't When you were sharing on Ninjas Of another color, I was like, where are you?
Go back, go back, there's bro That part got me too man And then this one, and then that new one That comes out Wheeler, where is it? What's up with that? Roller, thank you I just said the name a little bit, go to He can Take care of the trailer, you can attach a trailer to him Yeah, like the He drives in the Robust in the one you talk about Yeah, so he tries in that one, yeah So he tries in this one, the funny part is that Here, Roller comes and gives you gas Yeah, you notice that, right?
They don't Drive on gas, but whatever, I'm not going to be picky So Look at the accessories on that Look at that, look how cool that looks Even though this one doesn't have a little The repair bay is cool
The repair bay? Yeah, the repair bay was good Let's save this life a few times for me Yes So, and then how Roller Jumpes out, you push the button, poof He runs out, right here So, good I forgot about that So, and then look The other thing right here His speed is the lowest His speed and firepower Which is a lie, if you saw Transformers A movie, that guy has good firepower Yeah, that should be higher Yeah, and by the way The Roller can Operate up to 1200 miles away Oh, look at that
Bet you didn't know that I did not Alright, and then And Roller is also a spy He's a spy, of course He's a one of a spy For a guy that doesn't transform Where was he? Was he in the Cybertron version? Is he in there somewhere?
No So, alright And that is Prime And then we have Megatron, which I had Which I love playing with him Freaking real gun With a silencer Look at this But he was horrible in robot mode Oh my god Of course he was, he's a gun He's not horrible He's fine, look at the detail of that gun Yeah Boom I could be, look This is a dual toy I could be Transformers or I could be James Bond One fact Yeah You could not The only way you can travel with that toy Is by putting a rubber piece In the front 1984 1984
You could take that thing anywhere And smoke a cigarette On a damn plane Yeah, but they changed In the hospital You're giving birth and the doctor has a cigarette in his mouth Okay, alright Just because that happened when you were born Just because that happened when you were born Your doctor had a cigarette So there he comes there And then something you never saw in the cartoons His silencer turns into a cannon Yeah Or a mega cannon It's a laser cannon Telescoping laser cannon
And then there he goes With his little penis right here How I know you're going to see that Because I saw robot chickens just like you did And Pretty much everything's good He's got higher firepower so technically He should be better at all prime The only thing is he's really really slow Like slow slow He's like at a three and a half And speed This This is how you knew That they had this toy made Before they did the cartoons Those are the cartoons Is Waste was turned to the left
Not turning outwards So this was done before Sorry, sorry, sorry I just pictured the robot chicken one again While he's shooting everybody So For those of you who are listening to us Megatron is a gun His trigger of the gun Is between his legs as a toy When he's in a robot So yeah There's that And the barrel is in front of him Between his legs Which looks like a penis It's a sideways penis But yes, it's not perfectly placed So yeah So if you want to pull his trigger When he's in robot mode
You have to put your finger between His legs Right, remind you of Asia He's not allowed to talk about Asia anymore Okay I have no idea what you're talking about Okay So again, Megatron I had a lot of fun with him as a toy Do a purpose Not a lot of variants I don't think they were variants I mean just different shades of gray So And then the black one Well that's the macro change Of the toys That's how it originally was So that's the original one And then they came up with the The man from Uncle
You know the TV show So they came up with the gray version Of the three And that's how Megatron started So Yeah Did you have Megatron and Prime? No, Robo Jesus is that only Just Prime Robo Jesus Alright, so now we're going to get into The mini vehicles And I'll be quick on this one Would you like to know which ones I have from here?
I'm going to say You had None That's exactly what I had I was a phantom And unfortunately no one Didn't buy them for me So I think D had Three of them Negative Really, okay We had two Bumblebee is one of them for sure And I'm going to say Cliffjumper Nope Huffer Dammit Bumblejumper Yeah, Bumblejumper Really? Yep Hated that shit every day Why the hell I get this deform shit It's not even a deform Why did I get this?
It's so funny They don't even show you for the instructions They don't even show you that one Yeah, they do That's why I was mad Because what's inside wasn't The robot I was like, what are you giving me this for? Never play with it Cliffjumper That's so wrong Oh my god Alright I'm going to go back here and tell you Where was it? Was it gears that I was saying? Was it ugly as hell? Look at that How is that?
Let's see, show me Look at them That's it Super easy Put them apart, flip his legs I need a girl like that Yep Like I said If the Go-Bot cartoon Was lucky Go-Bots would probably rule the world right now Here's instructions on how to change them If you want Right here in this YouTube video Right here Ready? Dan, did this for a minute and 40?
40? Come on It doesn't take that long It doesn't take that long He's doing it Super slow Right leg Right leg Okay, so you get the right leg He's doing the legs nice and slowly Yeah, well, let's consider it And then Pull his wheels apart That's it Look at his face He didn't have a face This face is right there In the cartoon He had That's a better face than Ironhide He had two eyes And two eyes and lips He did, he just had a visor We should have compared The two No arms No arms His arms were
His arms were the exhaust Yeah He just grabbed you like little claw hands But you know the good thing about this guy Is that when it rains, he doesn't get wet He's got his own little roof He does He's got his own little roof He doesn't bother So Alright Now, can you Wait real quick See his tires, see how big his tires are Off-road Camaro And by the way, this is no Camaro I don't know what they call it in Camaro But whatever I don't know what it is Okay, so what do you want to say, Frank?
Can you guess how many of these I had?
Oh I'm going to go with six Six Oh, look, a finial pocket, all of them Believe it or not, I did not have All of them, I did have Bron I did have the yellow Bumblebee I had Cliffjumper In red Gears, Hufford And The last one I almost forget his name The last one is Wind Charger Wind Charger, yes So you just missed the Bron No, I had Bron Okay, you just missed in the Red Bubblebee, Bumblejumper And the Yellow Cliffjumper Correct And the Yellow Cliffjumper And for me The worst ones Were Bron
And the number two was Hufford Because Bron, to me, if I remember correctly And you can click on it I remember his legs being Crackskinny Super Skikinny, his legs If I remember correctly In robot mode So was his arms There he is His arms too, there you go I forgot about the arms Stunna as bad as Where's the trail Trail breaker Oh, that's another one That was horrible And his skinny little legs With the big upper body Yeah He's got like People who wear tube socks Such a big
Shoulders and everything And he has little, tiny, low legs Yeah So Alright, so you pretty much had a mall though I did So, okay And then cassettes Oh, I had a mall I had Which is funny, because I had laser beak And I had ravage And I had buzzsaw But I didn't have sun wave See, you see how they messed up See how they messed them up The rumble is red And frenzy is blue Yeah Oh And then we have the omnibots So the omnibots I don't remember the omnibots They were small Good detail
They were the same size The same size of bumblebee Okay Were they mini Were they minis?
Yeah Yeah, I definitely don't remember those Decide to engage And strategy Oh, this is Malwe exclusive toys With roller pins That's probably why For four rubber points You can get Cam Shaft You know how much expensive $5 was back in 84 Like $20 That's terrible This one gives me James Bond vibes Because of the way doors Yeah This one doesn't even get Like a good cover And then instructions They didn't take pictures of it We just try it You can put missiles on it
You can put missiles in the front too See right there Oh, sorry You can put more guns You can put one in the roof So you have three guns So that's pretty good Oh, I like this one You should get it I should You should find it And that's a Toyota and then you had overdrive That's like a Ferrari Looks like a Ferrari Also Just waiting for Magnum PI to pop out Yeah, but this one It has wings, so this one to come up Before tracks Before tracks, yeah It's really nice though
The wings that go down there and it has a gun in the front I like these a lot Why don't I get these You didn't have $5 The mail away I told you $5 is a lot Don't forget the prices at the stamp Yeah I owned a watch But I doubt that it was a transfer watch I'm pretty sure it was a One of the Yeah Well, it could have been a real Takara But it was probably using Those Shoots Before I'm drawing a blank The micro change Micro change robots Because My Robot looked a lot more like this Look like this
Than the other cool transformers ones I don't think I owned Any of those I don't think I owned a transfer watch like that I don't remember Only one No, I had one I had one And I think maybe I had one And I'm thinking it was a bootleg also But I'm thinking I had This one right here The calculator I remember having that calculator watch But I don't think it was I think it was a transfer one Oh my god That was a frustrating thing And to try to use it Class where you're teaching noticing To

That is a look back at G1 Transformers Wave 1 from 1984. So guys, it's been a while.
I forgot what a rating system is. Oh, no, I got you on that one. I got you on that one. All right. So for the toy edition of our podcast, we have a simple three-tier rating system. We have Collect, which means that we owned it when we were younger and we will own it again today. We have another category called Flip, which means we will buy it just to sell it. And then we got Pass, which is our third tier, which is something that we would never own. And I can definitely go first.
And I think you guys know exactly what I'm going to say is for me, for the rating system, this is a Collect 1000%. I owned the one that I was a kid. I still collect them until this day. Like you mentioned earlier in the podcast, really, I just bought another transformer like 30 minutes before we even started the podcast. And that one definitely wasn't a $20 transformer. It was not. It was $200. And for me, from the pictures, it's worth it. It is worth the 100% because I love the artist's name.
Justin's something Figarora. He's one of the dudes that drew for Transformers. And I loved his art style. And it reminds me a lot of that. And I just think Ronimus looks sweet as hell in this one. So for me, it was worth it. Ladies and gentlemen, I called Cap because we're going to check back in May of 2025 to see if he still has this item. So he's talking to all that now. But let's see. It's only $200, man. Again, you can't compare this. How much is that? How much is that Starscream, DLX?
Well, the reason why I canceled that one was because I was planning on buying the Megatron that Transformers. And you did, right? What happens to Megatron? Oh, no. I want to have to cancel. I just can't spend that much money on a fucking toy. These are three things that you're ordered. And so far, you've canceled two of them. Pattern people. Pattern. Thank you. I canceled it because of the Megatron. Because I ordered the Megatron. Exactly. So you didn't even get the Megatron. Yeah, you'll see.
You'll see May of next year. You'll see, especially when we do Ninjas of another color. I'm going to be like, look. And I'm going to bring up this moment. I said, look, D, you see? Hold on. Hold on. I got this. I got this. Hey, Alexa, set reminder for May of 2025. Got you. You guys don't have your speakers loud enough. No. I was trying to say you're Alexa's. All right. I got nothing. I'm pulling a trigger. I'm trying to, I'm having a hard time pulling a trigger on the Skeletor.
Skeletor, I pulled that trigger. I already bought that one. I already told, I already told Big Bad Toy Story to ship it to me. No, the studio edition, 86th studio edition prime. I'm pulling a trigger. All right. I still say you should buy that. He got time. He got time. If you do it to Big Bad Toy Story, it's only 89 bucks. Oh, good lord. Good lord. You got time. You got time. You got time. 89. Yes. I'm pulling it sold out on Hasbro Pulse, right? Yeah. It is. Man, that's a lot of money.
What are you talking about? What? Also think about it. Okay. But I'm also going to have to buy something. Because I can't just buy one. I got to buy it for myself and then I got to buy it for the store. So. All right, big money. I want to sold out, bro. All right. All right, big money. You buying two? Well, I got to buy more in twos. I'm buying bulk. I'm buying like six or seven. Go big. You got to go big or go home. Go big or go home. Exactly. Oh, by the way, that reminds me.
Yes. Frank had Megatron Masterpiece one. Oh, remember? He ordered it and then returned it. Actually, I bought it from Tate's and one of the legs was dangling all the time. So when I tried to pose him, he would pose like this. You want to move? And I just didn't like it. I was like, yeah. Because he was handicapped. Yeah. He got rid of. I did. You know, special. I did. I did. So that's another, that's another pattern. Tate's pattern. He got it. Different pattern. Different pattern.
So, yeah, for Duane, yeah. So Duane, yeah, you buy some, sell some. I can see that. Oh, sorry. Buy some and keep them and then sell the others. I can do that. I can do that for the same. So I'm with you with the same rating. Well, hold on. I was just thinking if I got the English words for things. It's just something, something came to mind and threw me off. So yes, I would buy or I would get some and some childhood ones. Like I said, pretty much the ones I owned already, I would keep.
For the most part though, I would collect, I would sell some of these, but it's still, it's still a collect for me. That's out over to you. That's it, right? I mean, I don't know what else you want me to say. No, that's it. We are done. And guess what? That wraps the show for today. And from all of us at Cartoon Rewind, a huge thank you for tuning in.
