Looks like the collectors called it "Shackwave" and it was legitimate. I remember it being metal but the internet tells me just the feet were.

Yeah I had him too. Radioshack was a lot more fun when they had toys. He disappeared on me. Grandma had a bad habit of giving away toys I quit playing with, which, as a whole was a good thing but damn it I wanted to keep my Transformers.

I've bought several over the last few years, including a few MP's and some high-quality KO's that look just as good as the original G1 toys. But my favorite Transformer related item isn't even a toy, it's a complete 25th Anniversary Matrix of Leadership Edition DVD box set of the original cartoons. And, it's autographed by Peter Cullen himself.

Totally jealous. I hate to get morbid, but I figure he won't be around much longer, so anything he signed is going to get real rare real quick.

I actually had the pleasure of meeting him at KSC during the final shuttle launch STS-135. He was there promoting the new Transformers movie, and did a meet/greet interview. I was already going down for the launch, and saw that he was going to be there so I grabbed my tv show set to get autographed. He's a super nice guy, and if you ever have the chance to meet him at a comic-con, do it. Here's the video I took of him at KSC. It's kind of long, but it's worth the watch.

Mr. Peabody:
I recall getting all those I asked for: Trax, Constructicons, Insecticons, Dinobots...some others...... Jetfire I didn't ask for, but I had asked for and gotten Roy Folker's Veritech/Valkyrie the Christmas or so before, and Jetfire was the same thing albeit a slight nose change, so dad knew I was open to having that. The funny thing was, I didn't much play with my Transformers as they were. I made them into ships, usually by removing parts. If they were a ship, I would remove parts or re-position them to make it a different one. They're still in those odd configurations. Jetfire was too cool to mess with of course.
