I saw some 80s character underoos on ebay a few weeks ago. Couldn't believe there were actually bids on them.

I still have my R2 D2 roos.

Ha ha! that's so cool. I've still got my Metroplex in full box art pose back at my parents house.

One thing that caught my eye, behind your right hand is a maroony thing, is it by chance a Transformer shaped Spirograph thing? I'd forgotten it existed until looking at that photograph. It's the same one that was advertised as a prize in one of the early issues of the TF comic. I think before issue 20 certainly. You have all of those comics don't you? The Transformer-spirograph had moveable arms and a bit on the legs that would pull down so the whole thing would form a crude jet shape in outline.

I'd totally forgotten about that too. This total recall lark's brilliant innit?

Did you put all the stickers on Metroplex yourself? As I recall he had a biiiig sticker list.

I remember getting Metroplex. He was one of my favorite TF toys, still is.

Metroplex was cool, loved the amount of weapons he had and just the fact he was so big (at the time I got him). He was there to stomp on all decepticons. Up until the day a "friend" managed to break him in half and then decided to do a runner leaving me to find out later on. It was a black day that.

Are you sure you liked Transformers then? You don't look very thrilled. Or is that just default for you?

That jacket you were wearing was the shit!

I like the fact the expression on your face is basically "... where's the ****ing poseability then?"

That explains a lot....

Nah, look at wee wickle Cliffy! I got my Metroplex, and Trypticon, by trading some comics back in the day... Missing accessories, if it's any consolation to people....

He actually hasn't grown since then.

Well, no wonder he's so grumpy, then!

I bet "Super Helicopter" was a better toy.
