#DidYouKnow that Wolfang was originally meant to be the first new Maximal to join the team on the “Beast Wars” TV show? However, his role went to Tigatron; tweaking Cheetor’s pre-existing CGI model saved the animators a lot of time and money!

Vollet, a blue-and-magenta human in robot armor who turns into an engine with a chromed-gold uh... more-engine part that serves as his backpack.
Zetca, a blue-and-black human in robot armor who turns into an engine with a chromed-gold engine-bit/backpack.
Re-took pictures of the individually-sold Masterforce Warriors VOLLET and ZETCA, both named after prior Takara toyline stuff. Now up on @tfwiki.net.
(I never acquired the third one, Aquastar.)
#DidYouKnow that Ejector’s Tech Spec puts his “Courage” stat at a whopping 10 out of 10? He sure is a brave little toaster!

"Y'know, I think you've picked up on the fact that most of the Autobots aren't soldiers—they're doctors, engineers, bots who want to do the right thing. But that doesn't mean that we aren't well-armed for when we NEED to be."

This month's featured article spotlights the STUNTICONS: whether alone or together, they're easily the most famous group of dysfunctional Decepticon drivers!

#DidYouKnow that OFTC 2004 was intended to feature an interactive Transformer-themed murder mystery? Unfortunately, due to a variety of reasons, convention-goers instead had to suffer through "DEATH BY CHOCOLATE", which had basically nothing to do with Transformers…

"In fact, maybe freedom is the right of all sentient beings!"
"What's 'sentient'?"

#DidYouKnow the initial release of the Battle Patrol Team in Japan used bright yellow vinyl-plastic parts instead of the intended gray? Why? Dunno!
This led to an interesting tread-color mismatch on Powerbomb... and no change to Sunrunner!

"By the way, if you should ever find yourself on Dahros, trust me, you do not want to visit the northern hemisphere. The locals are surly, the service is lousy, and the energon is always watered down."

You're right - sorry about that!
#DidYouKnow that “Timelines” Seawing’s bio card features a bizarre motto? Fun Publications employee Larry Lanthem inserted the “cheat the carrot” line into Seawing’s bio in a blatant attempt to push his made-up idiom into mainstream consciousness… better luck next time…?

"HALT, interloper! Surrender yourself to the one and only Emperor Starscream!"
