A small minority challenge themselves even further with simpler and …

Canadian G1 Transformers
We need more Slags in this fandom
Canadian G1 Transformers should be known for more than just the ‘Red Slag’.

What makes this so special?
Transformers collectors love rarities, and rarity plus hype can make legends of particular toys. But what about those very rare and obscure Transformers that people don’t talk, or even know about? When a particular type of collector embarks on a mission to complete a specific area, category or sub-category of a Transformers line they will eventually come across a piece or …

Intermission ~ 4 years away
Shining Ultra Magnus - needed a voice
In 2007 I left the Transformers and pre-Transformers collecting game and community again for the second or third time (I lose count).
