You remember how you used to be like in this week's exciting episode?
Yes.

But wait, there's more.
Yes.
We're going to do, we're going to do, gee, we're going to do Transformers Review today.
Oh wait, there's more.
Yes.
Today's episode I'm so excited for, man.
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.
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.
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

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?
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.
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.
So yeah.
All right.
But transfer started.
When did the transfer start?
Transfors did in 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.
Thank you.
Diaclone, right?
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. I
Saw iron hide take off
Yeah, contrary to what you see in episode one. They do not fly correct
So all right, so who we got here we got blue streak
We'll do what we do to do we do a review. We'll talk. 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
The terrible iron hide which is what's God looks like in van or Toyota van. I think it's looks like a van
No, he's a Toyota man with no face with no robot face. 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. So I mean he didn't have a face. He had a face. No freaking looks like the freaking Rob
The computer system from from pole position. He looks like a go-bye. That's what it was
It was a freaking go-bot. All right, then we have jazz the only black guy in the cartoon
Wow
Is there another one? It's true
You let me know there's another one. I know there is another one
Well, not not not um in this way. It's not this way. No, yes
All right, so and he's a Porsche then you have mirage which is an F1 racing car
I mean you can be more specific, but that's all I remember
Then proud which is the police car. He's another 280 ZX twins
Twins, but once one decided to work for the law
Oh
Another twin here was ratchet
Which is the same band just painted like it's usually like these people really desperate though
like
Like they couldn't wait until second wave to come up with the
To reuse the same one like there's a way that two of almost two of everything. Mm-hmm
So you have ratchet then you have side swipe which is
This is your favorite as well your favorite or was it sunstreaker?
No, sunstreaker was my very first transformer I ever had
And what's gonna call it side swipe in the cartoon? They were like brothers. Yes, you know what I mean?
They were twins. They were the same car

Uh, all right. I'm just here
I'm just here to keep us in track
And let me see are you are you looking at the camera? Okay good. Well, you're looking at your phone, but that's fine. That's good enough
At least you're forward
At least looking forward
I'm looking at the screen. All right now we talk about transformers cassettes and communicators communications
Yes, one of my favorite favorite decepticons. I don't know why they don't have them as just decepticons and group them all together
But we have the big daddy which is sound wave
And he came with buzz saw which you never seen the cartoon
Right, did you receive it a curtain?
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. Yeah
Oh my god, no, I don't remember what you paid for yours. No, um, the one that I have is the one that we got at Comic Con
Okay
The pack
Yeah, I remember now. I remember that pack. Yes. Yeah, they came with all four
Cassettes
But I don't remember back in the days how much I
Yeah, we'll check and see that I can tell you this though. I did not pay for sound wave though
It was a gift
Yes, it was a gift. It was a gift
Okay, good
Your family love you
Before we go that far sound waves was an actual working cassette deck
Yes
Oh, then I never never had something
An eject open and everything. Yes
What kind of a cassette and it played it
The microcassettes
Okay, would it play would it move? Yeah, Mike not yes. No microcassettes
It was a work. It was a working
Actual tape player the microcassettes
Not the big one
Not the big ones small ones
I'm gonna need that I'm gonna need that to be fat checked. Yeah, let me talk to the crew may research team
Research team I need you guys to look into that boom boom boom. All right find out if that actually was a working cassette player
Okay
So the point I had I don't remember that at all. 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
And that's it. Those are all the series that came out
In 1984
Yes
All right, so we go back to a different page here and this time again we're at Transformers land website
For this week's episode we want to thank transformersland.com for letting us their site
Sponsor us
Yeah, same thing with the toy collectors guide.com we're using theirs and we're using their price guide so thank you guys great websites
All right, so here's a little more in depth
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
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?
No no me as well
I had them both
I only had two of them too
I only had Optimus Prime
Robo Jesus
Shit I had, Megatron was fun
So here's Robo Jesus
As you called him
I don't remember what happened to my missiles
I think they had
I think it's the head down
You had the semi, you had roller
Roller
And then you had the trailer
That's how it looks
If you want I can go get my box
So I have it in the box
And here's the instructions
A little more complicated but not so bad
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
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
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
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
He's doing it
Super slow
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
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
And then pressing the wrong button because I have chubby fingers
Like shit
Gotta start over again. I'm gonna use the pencil
So, yeah
So there you have it
I
Didn't have a lot man
I hope I have something for Drur
I probably killed all of you
Shit
I'm gonna do a
I'm
I'm going to
See
I'm going to
It sir
Right here. I was going to it
See what 1985 brought us
No, he says that
Okay, it's not looking good
I only had here
I only had red alert
Oh yeah, I had Cosmos
I had C spray
Why are we looking at wave 2
Let's see if we had any
I know you had a constructed gun
I had a mom
I did not
I had
None of these
I don't know who this is
Is this a mellow way
I had a
I had a dynamite
I had slag
I had
Instaur
I had
I had a mom
I think I had
I could have been kicked back
I had one of them that's here
I had none of these either
I had one of those
I had
Twin twists
Those are the pullbacks
Yes
Yeah, those are auto
No, no, no, I had top speed
Technically you pull them back
It goes by for like a couple feet
And then it flips up
And it transforms
No, that's not auto-transforming
That's just flip-transforming
That's not auto-transforming
1985
It was auto-transforming
I had a train
I had blaster
I had jetfire
I always wanted jetfire, man
And I had omega supreme
I had omega supreme
So
And, okay, so I did a little better
Perceptor
I always wanted a shockwave
There I got him
He had lights and sounds
And everything, I thought it was a band
And there's still
Selling the op-de-bots
Which we know we didn't have
Cookie crisp
And there's some promotional stuff
And a time warrior
Alright
So this is the part that I like
Let's go back and watch
Before we do, man, I want to see you
Show me something
Original
From AD4
Little cards
Yup
How much you selling them for?
Absolutely nothing
Got it
Have you priced them?
And hold on, hold on, there's more
There's more
Oh, let's do it this way
Okay, thank you
I didn't know you had cards
Have you priced them, sir?
I have not
You should
I have not
Oh, man, let me get
This is my last one
For Transformers
Hold on
This is a lot
This is my last one for Transformers
Say that
But I don't know
Say that
But all these right here
These are my Marvel cards
I have Star Trek cards in here
Rolly
Because out of all of us
You are the one that loves
Star Trek the most
He lives Star Trek
And then of course my hologram
Of Venom
We're going to take your word for it
I can see his head
I saw his face
And I have GI Joe cards in here too
Cable
That's not GI Joe, that's Marvel
No, but I'm saying I also have GI Joe in here
I got Star Trek
I got a lot of Marvels
Yeah, next time you come over
Rolly, remind me
And I'll show you
Yeah
Alright, Dwight, what you always say?
Just
Just take the batteries out of his tank
And hide them
No, he hasn't tried it
When he was away
I was house sitting
So I was going to start moving his stuff around just inches
So I was going to start moving his inches around
And see if he notices
And I was going to take the batteries out of his tank
And see
Because he says he doesn't play with it
But if he would have called me like a day later
Like, hey, but he said
As soon as we get off the bike
I'm going to go check right now
What are you talking about?
So what I have is
It's the
This isn't the 84
This is
90s though, but this is
Yes
What's like the second generation?
Third?
I would think
It's probably third generation
I would think that's something
For the toy guru to investigate
To investigate
And obviously we have
I mean, I have a lot
When it comes to prime
Prime
You have more
Both yes
You have more
Skeletor
You might have the same amount of Skeletor
But you definitely do have more primes in it
Yes
I have more prime
Rodimus and Opsifus prime
I have more than you
Opsifus prime you definitely have more than you
If I add ultramagnus
If I add those three
I have four ultramagnuses
Damn
I don't even have one
I have four
I have two
I have two and I have
I have hot rod
I have two hot rods
And
Four Rodimus primes
It's not a contest
So was a contest
You just said if I had more
If I add those
I have more
It sounded like a challenge
No it wasn't
I said if we added all the primes
I have more than you
But you have definitely more optimism
I do
Yes definitely
I have more hemans than you do
And I have more dino bots than all of you guys
Yeah you do
I have more star wars
That is very true
That is true
But I have more women
Than both of you
Because I have
I don't know about that
I don't know
See the difference between you and me
Is I have what I can say more
But I can actually speak towards them
Our ears are redacted
So you can't
I have
And also you win
Because you got 20 years ahead of me
So
30
And you know what buddy
You still have more than me
You still got more than me
See I'm trying to make you look good
For a girl
Smart
Don maybe
Always be like
Grow a dog
You're Frank
You know that
That is a gentleman
And he is
Any city he owns his own house
I didn't mention about the horses you drive
I didn't want
Don't forget to reach out to if anybody's interested in dating Frank, please reach out
to Cartoon Rewind Podcast at gba.com.
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.
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.
If you do it to Big Bad Toy Story, it's only 89 bucks.
Oh, good lord.
Good lord.
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.
So that's another, that's another pattern.
Tate's pattern.
He got it.
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.
