NERV Posted April 9, 2006 Share Posted April 9, 2006 It was one that i had a kid but i can't remeber it's name and have been unable to find it, it was a jet, mostly purple, somewhere on it's body in jet mode there was a panel that you could flip open and when you looked thru it it was a crosshair with a view of the ground, if i remeber correctly the crosshair was an amber panel that may have had a picture of a tank in it, i have a theroy that it may be a powermaster called darkwing but i have been unable to find any picture of him to confirm that crosshair panel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have powermaster darkwing and dreadwing but they don't have that targeting panel thingy. So it would be something else. Sorry...can't help you more than that.

Liottel Posted April 9, 2006 Share Posted April 9, 2006 One of the original gets was purple... Blitzwing or Thundercracker? And Cyclonus from The Movie was purple. Was there even a toy of Cyclonus ?? ~Liottel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeo-mare Posted April 9, 2006 Share Posted April 9, 2006 yes all of those figures had purple but none of them had what he mentions on it, there was also a cyclonus toy. . i cannot remember if any of the last headmasters or target masters had what he mentioned. but it may have been one of those. chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JB0 Posted April 9, 2006 Share Posted April 9, 2006 Shockwave was purple, and had a panel you could flip up with crosshairs on it. He was also the most badass raygun ever, but not a jet. Is it possible that 2 seperate toys have been merged in your mind by time? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Veritas Posted April 9, 2006 Share Posted April 9, 2006 Hmm i have no idea what transformer you're eluding too. It's obviously a decepticon but i don't ever recall seeing one with a crosshair panel as a kid. Best bet would be to try and check out the Tranformers Archive at TFU.info. They've got just about every bot listed both by name and year. It might be tedious, since you'll have to comb through all the names of the decepticons that you think might be him, but it's worth a shot.

Ginrai Posted April 9, 2006 Share Posted April 9, 2006 You might be thinking of Skyquake, which is green, but has the look through the hole see a target gimmick. Skyquake was a UK exclusive later recolored as black and dark grey as Machine Wars Starscream with the eye gimmick removed, which was later again recolored blue as King Atlas in the TF Universe line. It's possible it was one of the other Predators, Skyquake's team, that you were thinking of. The Predator Skydive is actually purple: http://www.cliffbee.com/reviews/euroskydive.htm All the Predators have the gimmick with the scope as far as I know. Darkwing definitely does not have anything like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
promethuem5 Posted April 9, 2006 Share Posted April 9, 2006 was later again recolored blue as King Atlas in the TF Universe line. I was just gonna say that youy might be thinking of the Universe King Atlas mold... And NERV, your avatar is sick, and Liottel, your avatar is technically not in the wrong, but still really iffy.

NERV Posted April 9, 2006 Author Share Posted April 9, 2006 ok, i'm not sure if people fully get the description of the crosshair, the crosshair itself didnt pop up, there was a panel near the center of the plane, you opened this panel, and the crosshair is stationary, still inside the transformer but you look down thru it for something of a bombardier perspective, i believe it may have been relatively late in the transformers line, i could be wrong but i tihnk that it ball joints somewhere in it, i wouldve been somewhere between 6 and 10, so it wouldve been probably a 91-95, but it may have been earlier...

promethuem5 Posted April 9, 2006 Share Posted April 9, 2006 Yeha, you're talking about King Atlas... it transforms into a bomber plane, and has the flip up panel that reveals a crosshair mounted in the plane so you can look thru and see where you're bombing.

NERV Posted April 9, 2006 Author Share Posted April 9, 2006 (edited) unfortunately that aint it, there was no mirrors or anything, just a panel opened and you looked straight down from the top thru to the bottom edit: and the crosshair wasnt just a clear view, as i said befor ei belive it was amber with an image of a tank or something Edited April 9, 2006 by NERV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zentrandude Posted April 9, 2006 Share Posted April 9, 2006 Might be one of those that belong to a team. I remember having a black jet that was suposed to combine with others to form a super robot or cannon (who knows). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chewie Posted April 9, 2006 Share Posted April 9, 2006 (edited) Was it one of these guys? I googled the hell out of this because it was bugging me. How I found them King Atlas is in there too under Skyquake. Hope this helps. - C Edited April 9, 2006 by Chewie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeo-mare Posted April 9, 2006 Share Posted April 9, 2006 that might be it, since this is the G-2 version pictured maybe the G1 has a different colorscheme. chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
