Title: Toy Search
Post by: Leon Kensington on August 01, 2007, 07:39:28 PM
Hey Guys,

When I was about 7 I what appeared to be a Tranformer.  It was about 2 inches long by 1 inch wide and was shaped like a tank.  The colors were green and purple with a little bit of silver and brown (though those two could have been from wear and tear).  Does anyone know what this is or where I can find it?

Redecorated version of Decepticon "Megatron" from the US Generation 2 line

This should be it - but I have no idea where to buy one - try e-bay?

Since we're talking about toys, here's one that I can't for the life of me remember the name of:

Each one had six parts -- head, two arms, two legs, body -- and the parts could all be detached and swapped between each other.

Each one had one part that you could wind up and it would spin or clench or punch or something.

The heads could not open, but each one had a little window and inside, a little foil dude that was supposed to be the pilot.

There was a base.  It was a coiled snake that opened outward, and if you pressed a button, the snake head shot out, rolling along the floor until it hit a bump in the tile, overbalanced, and fell.

Any ideas?

That is totally them.  Protectron is the one I remember best.  His shield thingy spun.

Thank you so much.  I've been obsessing about them for years.
