Did you log in through the main page or the forums?  If you log in through the forums, you have the option for you to be remembered every visit.  Try that, if you haven't already.

Knockoffs is a term thrown around too lightly.  Sorry about that.  I really mean knockoffs, bootlegs, unofficial, and unlicensed products shouldn't be on here.

That is an original design, yes, but unlicensed and unofficial.  And 100% awesome, but still...shouldn't be on here.

Nope, I'm afraid I gotta side with DP on this one.  Knockoffs shouldn't be included on here.

(renamed via Fan Club bio)

Apparently just a little (unofficial?) creative renaming from the Transformers Collectors' Club for the U.S. versions of those guys.  Jetstorm, Sonar & Runway are their official Hasbro names.

Mad, Shade, and Jack seem to be their Japanese names, following the wiki links...so, we're good.

I guess everyplace has its periods of bad weather, although some are much worse than others.

Here in PA, we get awful snowstorms/blizzards in the winter and have to be watchful of tornados during the spring/summer.  I can just see myself out running a funnel cloud in a U-Haul full of my TFs.  With a dairy cow flying by...

Glad to hear everything is going well for you, tec.  

I read on the AllSpark that you were evacuating and had to leave all your stuff behind...man, that had to be tough.

Again, glad to hear that everything's okay.

Hmm...worked for me.

I think the rest of the Robot Heroes are under Movie (2007), if you need something from there.

I can see where you're coming from, but non-official stuff, no matter how nice, really shouldn't be on here.

For example, consider the Metroplex KO.  That would be considered high-end...decent plastic quality, cool box, and costs just as much as the Encore that's coming out, but that doesn't mean it should be included on here.

Ultimately, it's not up to me, but I vote no for any and all KOs/non-official products.

While very cool, JustIToys (responisble for the WST Dinobots, MP Megs stock, MP Convoy trailer, MP Starscream Coronation set, etc.) and Jizai Toys (the folks that made the Cyclonus, Wheelie, Ironhide, the upcoming Headmaster Megatron, etc.), and companies like them, are not producing officially-licensed toys...so, I really don't think they should be included on the site, even though some/most of the products are very nice.

No matter how cool they may be, they're still unlicensed...

Update...those green missiles were bothering me for some reason..I could have sworn MW Starscream's missiles weren't green...and it turns out, I was half-right.  

They do come in green, but they also come in an off-white!  I just pulled mine from storage and his missiles are off-white...they almost look like that plastic that glows in the dark.  I was the original owner, getting from KB back in the day...so there was no parts swap involved.  Still have the plastic tree as well.

So, I took a gander at Fred's site...and sure enough, both variants are documented.

Just another variant to throw in the mix.

Wrong about the missiles...they were green.

Good eye...I entered those listings before we had Hard Hero Enterprises as an available manufacturer and forgot to change them.

Whoops.
