I'm a big fan of the G1 transformers! Brilliant characters and some good stories in the cartoon. These were my main toy growing up! These are great! :-*

Have you managed to game with them yet? What rules did you use? How do you handle transforming and vehicle side of them?

I will play a game when I've painted two more autobots, then I will have about 42pts for each faction. The rulebook is available from the same manufacturer of the miniatures (for more informations send a PM) ;)

sent you a PM for more info, They all look great so far :-*

Any chance of a scaleshot with a 28mm mini?
I think they could possibly work with 28mm, the scale in the cartoon is all over the place anyway, rumble in the cartoon is only slightly bigger than a standard human, so is bumblebee, although in some shots humans are slightly smaller than laserbeak

Thanks :)
I sent an answer to your PM ;)
The miniatures are not in scale with 28mm, in fact they are planned for 8mm scale (from human size). Most of the transformers are about 40-50mm (sometime bigger or smaller). Rumble for example is true 25mm. But it  is smaller than 28mm miniatures and size is not compatible. The only miniature that could be fine with 28mm miniatures is ravage and maybe lazerbeak, here a picture of ravage with my painted 28mm Baroness:

This is a great little project, great paint jobs on nice minis. Are you planning on adding faction symbol decals or anything? :P

Hah no kidding. I watched some a few years back for the nostalgia (it has not aged well) and it's mental. Soundwave going from giant robot to human sized tape player is the obvious one but the Transformers themselves seem to change size between shots as well as guns and stuff being human sized but suddenly being giant in the robot's hands.  :P

Thanks ;) The logos are quite detailed, then I will wait if and when paint them. Some decals could be really useful, if available somewhere.

One of your best yet! :o

Do you have a board to play with these guys on? I’m trying to think of anything specific from the cartoons that’d make a good layout.

Think Tavage could make a good puppy for the Baroness.
Speaking of the Baroness, what is up with her? Do we know about that fig already?
