Marčanka Hound?

Is it a myth, a legend, made up, or just a custom?

There are many red feet or red re-painted Transformers G1 variants out there. A lot are also documented very well, but a red-footed Hound seems to be a hidden gem. But is a Hound with red feet really legit? Is it a variant that we can add to the list of must-haves?

The Greek Connection

European-made Minibots, or Mini-Vehicles as they also go by. Unique in their very own way. Color-, packaging-, and manufacturing-wise. A special niche amongst variant collectors and Minibot collectors in particular.

This article is about two different series of European Minibot releases that seem to be very related to each other. I am talking about the Made in France Ceji Minibots and the Greek El Greco releases. Besides the obvious color differences and the absence of a rubsign on the El Greco ones, at first glance, they look very similar. But are they identical? In other words, did they come from the same factory injection mold?

Triple Changeur: Ceji Astrotrain

It does not happen that often these days that an unknown vintage Transformer is discovered. So it’s very exciting to share this find about the long-lost and final French Transformers G1 release, Ceji Astrotrain.

French Transformers Fan Club Part 6: Club Special Offers

Unfortunately the last and final part about the French Transformers Fan Club series. But let’s go out with a bang!

In this final part we take a closer look at the last pamphlet that I own, the Club's special offers. 
So what is it exactly that we are looking at here? Its exclusive offers for members of the Club. They can buy specially selected Transformers with a discount, but you first need permission from your parents before you can buy them. 😉

French Transformers Fan Club Part 4: Club Goodies

After a little hiatus of a few months, moving houses, which is always a headache, and the holiday period. It’s time for a new episode!

This part was initially going to be about the last pamphlet I have, the Club special offers, but something very unique came in between.

These were the legendary words that Megatron spoke in The Transformers: The Movie just before he got upgraded into Galvatron.

After a hiatus of more than 8 years, yes 8 years! I am back! What will happen to this blog is sort of similar to what Megatron went through, a change, an upgrade!

Well, what can you expect? For a short time, I have been guest writing for a Transformers Facebook page called From the Vault - TF Showcase. I will share some of those articles also over here, as well as write unique new content. Mainly focused on vintage Transformers Generation 1 subjects this time around.  Also, the Blog itself will get an esthetic upgrade. More on that soon.
