Transformable airplanes, how many?


Recommended Posts

so i was rearranging my shelves this weekend making space for the new yamato releases when i started thinking, i wonder what other transformable airplane toys are out there? and who makes them?

i thought it would be fun to try and compile a 'one of each' list based on different transformations and scales(no varients and colors). so if you can think of any, please post. :)

cool transformable airplane toys:

1/48 - VF-1 - yamato

1/60 - VF-1 - yamato

1/60 - VF-0 - yamato

1/55 - VF-1 - bandai/takatoku/hasbro

1/35 - Alpha - gakken

1/?? - beta - gakken/lansay

1/55 VF-1 MPC - toynami

1/55 alpha MPC - toynami

1/72 - YF-19

1/72 - YF-21

1/72 - VF-11

1/100 - konig monster

VF-17 - bandai

VF-19S - bandai

VF-1 - banpresto

1/100 VF-1 - toynami

Aquarion attack type - Bandai

Aquarion regular type - Bandai

VF-1 - joke machines - matchbox

VF-1 - morphers - toynami....these are very suspect!

Transformers, so bad they need their own list: ;)

MP starscream - hasbro

G1 starscream/thrust/etc, all of them are the same.

Maybe we can limit this list somehow, like post-WWII and fictional non-prop fighters only, and excluding toys that are totally gay. That way we don't have to remember every single POS Gobot that was made (except for Royal T).

it's all crappy if it aint macross... :D The only decent looking one otherwise would be MP Starscream, and that's still Kawamori! Gakken's 1/35 Alpha passes though.

How about Jetfire or astrotrain!!!!!! I suprised no one has mentioned jetfire yet!

How about the 1/60 PG or the 1/100 MG Z Gundam? Big, complex and it turns into a shuttle/airplane thinggy (you still have to build them though).

Oooh, and for even weirder looking shuttles you have the two that form the upcoming SOC Gunbuster.

Well, for the sake of variety, I'll retract my earlier Gobot statement. I had no idea there were so many, and actually based on real military aircraft. Most are on par with the aerialbots, in terms or suckiness:

Gobot Jets -

Spy Eye (Tornado) - super gobot

Leader-1 (F-15) - normal and super gobot

Bad Boy (A-10)

Heat Seaker (F-16)

Mach 3 (F-4)

Sky Jack (F-14)

Bullseye (B-1)

Gunnyr (Mig-21)

Royal T (Harrier)

Gobot Props -

Zero (Zero)

Ace (P-51)

Bentwing (F-4U Corsair)

Then there's the more recent TF decepticon jet mutations:

Galaxy Force (Su-27)

Armada (VF-11 copycat?)

Energon (F-22)

wow that some list ghostryder!

i take it all of those are transformers?

oh and as far as the ariel bots, they're borderline gobots. i only included them because of childhood nostalgia, otherwise they shouldn't really be on the list. :p

twoducks,

no models, no kits, its gotta be a toy straight out the box.

that thing is really cool though...i should consider getting some gundams to mess around with.

its cool to list the bad ones too, this thread is all in fun anyway. :)

beside, i'm actually having a blast googling for the images of these ummm....toys....errrr bricks. :p

and serious props for some of the gobots listed, what they lack in robot mode they make up for it in vechicle mode....TF's on the otherhand, well it isn't so much about which mode is the best, but more which mode isn't the worst. :lol:

LOL, I forgot how bad some transformers really were... There's a reason I stick to Macross collecting after all! :)

You got to admit macross was not that great until Jetfire came along!!!!!!

no doubt, i actually like the G1 TF's like starscream and thrust so no discrimination. TFs are fine as long as they aren't totally craptastic. personally, i think the MP line in general is quite awesome as well as the alternators/binaltechs....whatever the line of TFs where the cars look like actual cars, and not a car shaped vehicle with wheel and visible with hinges all over it.
