Normally once I post a character for #TransformersTuesday I won’t post them again, even if they appeared in a later catalog…but I’ll make an exception for Megatron. When I was going through the 1984 catalog, SS86 wasn’t out yet. But that figure has since replaced the Siege Megs in my collection

The XS-03 is a nice way to finish off the trio: it doesn't break any major new ground, but looks good both on its own and with the others. #toyreview #joytoy ##battleforthestars www.spencer1984.com/review/joy-t...

As we near the last of the 1985 catalog, we come to Shrapnel for this #TransformersTuesday. This is the PotP release, unmodified even though I really ought to paint his visor.

On to Insecticon Bombshell this #TransformersTuesday! Like with Kickback last week, he’s the smaller figure from a few years ago (Combiner Wars this time) but still looks great.

This should come as no surprise for anyone who was here last time, and I'll bet you can guess the next review as well. Still, it's a pretty cool set with enough differences to keep things interesting. #review #toyreview #figurereview #joytoy #battleforthestars

It’s #TransformersTuesday again and we have reached the first of the regular Insecticons, Kickback! I added this TR figure to my collection when it came out and while the newer Legacy figure is arguably better, I like how the smaller version looks compared to the previously-discussed Deluxes.

We come to the last of the coneheads and my personal favorite of the year 2 jets this #TransformersTuesday: Thrust! I always loved the the maroon and black look, and while I haven’t done it yet I keep thinking about repainting the jet’s nose to better match the G1 toy

Gonna try a new schedule this year: new reviews/models on Monday, build videos on Wednesday, and shorts on Thursday. We're kicking it off with a new arrival: Joy Toy's Fear XS-01 mech!

The final #TransformersTuesday of 2025 is Ramjet! Like Dirge, I missed out on this character in G1, but it’s such a slick design that I had to pick up the reissue. Earthrise here is a great update, keeping what was great on the original and adding articulation.

This also counts in scale model contests
This will forever be my favorite way to explain why I don’t get competitive as an artist.

Here on the final lap for 2025, the "Days of Thunder" City Chevrolet Lumina! Normally there would be a video update tomorrow, but seeing as it's the end-of-year recap I'm going to bump it to Wednesday, New Year's Eve. #scalemodel #daysofthunder #citychevrolet #nascar

On to the first of the 1985 jets this #TransformersTuesday. Earthrise Dirge was one of those figures released as part of a 2-pack, and while it took some doing to snag one it was well worth it. I would have preferred a regular head, but I know the idea of “coneheads” was canon in the cartoon.

My final build update for 2025! While the model isn't perfect, I tried a lot of new (or long lapsed) things building it so I'm still calling it a win. Remember: if it's worth doing, it's worth screwing up a bunch of times to learn something! #scalemodel #scalemodeling #nascar #daysofthunder #lumina

On to the second Triple Changer from 1985 for this #TransformersTuesday: Blitzwing! He has an arguably harder time than Astrotrain as far as balancing all three modes, but to me the Legends release pulled it off the best…and those colors are just perfect!
