Daily Transformers Trivia

My Wideload is in storage - in Malaysia! But you're right. The one I got was old stock from 1987 (it must have shelf-warmed like crazy). I remember the card was red (not gold), and it was badly creased; one of the reasons why I complained to my parents when they bought it for me - back then I liked my packaging/card to look pristine.

As for the new question - I honestly don't know off the top of my head.. I'm gonna guess. It was Cyclonus.

Not Cyclonus. He was a regular store release figure here and in every other country that I know of. Was he a mail-away exclusive in Malaysia?
Also... did Malaysia get the gold-carded/boxed Classic reissues? Cos AFAIK they were exclusive to Europe, Australia and New Zealand. I have zero knowledge about what toys were released in Malaysia but welcome any knew information.

But anyway, the answer is one of the mail-away exclusive Transformers of which there aren't too many of them... so come on, people - have a guess!

Hint: It's not Time Warrior.

I think I know the answer, but I cheated and looked it up. It's Thundercracker

I don't think we got mail-away exclusives in Malaysia.. If there was one, I never took advantage of it. As for Malaysian Transformer releases circa early-1990's, I'll answer in the Random Thoughts thread.

[GoktimusPrime]

Your answer is still incorrect. While Thundercracker was one of the early G1 toys that was also available through mail-order, he wasn't a mail-order exclusive figure as the toy was initially available in stores.

Another hint: It's an Autobot

[GoktimusPrime]

The answer is -- Powerdasher, F-1 type

New Question: In the live action Transformers film continuity, what is the name of the top secret US government agency tasked with the investigation of Cybertronians?

[GoktimusPrime]

Answer: SECTOR 7!

...I thought that that was a rather easier question. No?

Maybe I should make these questions multiple choice.

Q: What does Transformers Prime Bumblebee transform into?
A) 6000 SUX
B) Urbana 500
C) Suburbia 300
D) Metro-racer 600
E) General Motors Chevrolet Camaro

[FatalityPitt]

Answer is (whited out): B - Urbana 500


I don't remember the name of the episode, but BB's alt-mode name was revealed to us when BB's transformation cog got stolen by NEST, making him no longer able to transform. Later at the base, Raf tries to cheer up a depressed Bumblebee. Unfortunately, a commercial for the Urbana 500 plays on the TV and it causes BB to chuck a hissy-fit.
