You have no idea how jinxed I am in finding me Needlenose. Every time one does turn up, I'm up against Mr Mad Mclottery Winner, prepared to spend a grand on a loose knackered Needlenose out of pure spite. Bastardsbastardsbastards. So yes, I spent a bit too much on a C6ish Needlenose, and have one rubbish Gobot as a bonus. It turned up today; Needlenose rocks, even if his hat keeps falling over his eyes [this somehow fits the character... he just needs a piss-his-pants mod, like those disturbing urinating baby dolls]. I have no idea what the red thing is, though it's part of some non-TF, non-Gobot combiner as best as I can tell. The big Gobot's alright, though basically the same as all those Deluxe Gobot toys, but with a different chest. Actually, I might have him somewhere already. Nice surprise, though - the gold or Khaki one [depends on the light... :\] is a really cool little figure. I'm 99% sure it is, and am just nipping over TFU.info to have a gander.

What? Why would I want that giant waste of space? And I can spell. A bit. Ha.

Here he is: STINGER! http://tfu.info/Gobots/Renegades/Stinger/stinger.htm

Even the name's not too bad

I used to have a Needlenose... and part of that grey car.

I never knew what the car was.

I to used to have a Needlenose (perhaps Cliffy's the only one who didn't), it was one of the ones my mum threw out. Now I find out even a knackered one fetches a fortune. Thanks mum.

I thought you said Unicron! Nuts.

I got a Needlenose with tech-spec and Targetmasters for about £5 a while ago from ebay

I'm not saying it's worth alot, just that I, for various reasons, never seemed to be able to get one.

Well, congratulations. Yeah, he's a nifty little guy. His guns really are meh (I don't like the double-barreled guy, and I wish the single-barreled one was black instead of purple), but he's very cool.

Personally, I preferred Quake or Spinister to Needlenose.

I thought Needlenose's Targetmasters were quite cool - I liked them.

Bah, all the '88 Targetmaster weapons are utter wastes of plastic. Hasbro should have melted the stuff down and redirected it to give PM Prime sensible arms, and just given Needlenose the gun he had in UK #229 instead.

Spinister's pretty cool, but Quake... there's just something odd about him. Maybe those crazy legs.

I only have one singel gobot, and it sucks

Actually, Quake's my favorite. His legs are pretty much like Needlenose's, at least in transformation. And Spinister has these tiny arm things that look like they need extensions.

Besides, he's a tank that survived a blast from Unicron! (or was fast enough to get out of the way, as the next panel indicates. Either way, plus points!)

First thing I thought of when I saw the topic title was that Brazilian TF...

Least, I think it was Brazilian... Eh.

Awesome.

I so needs some Gobots...

Did you really just say that?

Nooo... I typed it.

Really? I thought of either Battle Unicorn or Magna Stampede. To tell you the truth, I still can't tell you which color scheme I prefer. They're both quite awesome.

I thought he meant to say Unicron...
