Found memories of this little guy. We were visiting my nana in a city 2 hours away from my hometown. Dad took me around 3 different shops looking for transformers and looking at prices. I think we bought him from Farmers in Palmerston North. When we got back to nana’s house, Dad help me figure out how to transform him. Still got him to this day with his original gun. My dad passed last year so it’s nice to be reminders of this happy memory.
His alt is an F-104 Starfighter. Kind of suitable for a Decepticon as its nickname was "widowmaker" simply for the number of lost planes & pilots to accidents & faults & general difficulty to fly. Really nice transformation, though.
So many great memories with this little fella. He was the first bot that I ever got myself. I had a bunch of G1 hand me downs from my cousins, but Afterburner? He was all mine.
His surprise appearance in Cyberverse as a conehead repaint and one of the mercenaries was bizzare, has any Euro-G1 character had a more major showing?
Oh man, I still have the Afterburner I got as a kid, and it is indeed one of the finest little Transformers I've ever had the pleasure of owning! Feels dang good when the big man puts the spotlight on one of your very favorites
Kinda reminds me of the smokejumpers transformation in a way, not exactly but theres definitely some inspiration from one to the other. Also seeing that little auto changer really took me back: that thing was my first ever transformer. Snagged it at a KB toys way back in the day cause it was one of the last ones on the peg....also it was like $3 😅
Sad we never got many those Euro Exclusive molds over here besides the sprinkling in Machine Wars. I only had Universe Soundwave and King Atlas myself. These little jets are just neat.
Ah the skyscorchers definitely among my favourites along with the axelerators. Only had Eagle eye as a kid , and Skram and Zap (windbreaker) ftom the accelerators, something i rectified over the last 3 years. 😁
Oh shit. So that's who these guys were, I remember having a junk condition black jetformer back in the day with no clue who he was, but I saw him in the back of that shot. So Terradive was his name...
The shorts are really working for the little diamond-in-the-rough toys with a forgotten party trick. Really enjoyed getting a quick blast of that bonkers transformation in the time it takes to chuck on a quick cuppa.
