Insecticons and Dinobots really added another dimension and new fans to Transformers - 85 was definitely a standout year! Another great history episode, well done guys
I had Slag, Topspin, Astrotrain, and Scrapper. I enjoyed all of them. I got Scrapper without realizing that he was made the leader of the Constructicons until later. I'm glad I did get him, though.
Thanks for a wonderful trip down memory lane , I’ll be 50 this year and I am really missing that time in my life. I wish I could remember which transformers I had, I know I had prime, megatron, bumblebee, shockwave, blaster, some of the jets and a lot of the smaller cars. Oh I remember the rub sign too, had tracks and he had it on his chest.
1985 was a great Transformers year for me I got preceptor,Tracks,Blaster,Shock wave(I think it was the radio shack version) and one of the pop up guys. My friend got the dinobots, omega supreme and more and we had some epic battles in my basement. Awesome video great job guys!
Totally. MOTU, TF, Joes all in their peak. Star Wars still present for a short while. MASK started up. So did Thundercats. Kenner Super Powers was around... list goes on and on. Oh and the first Wrestlemania 🤣

Thx Phil! Goes in with the series of previous videos including our own '87 collaboration 😎
Beetles and Waruders ahoyz! No shortage of bug themed toys in Japan 😂
It was a fun project that I could easily get behind. I was still neck deep in Transformers in 85. It was a stellar year to be a kid for sure!!!! 😃
You're welcome on here anytime my friend! And thx for all you did to make this video better.

Yeah what a selection this year. Its neat you got to enjoy this set of characters with a buddy at the time.
From what I remember 1985 was the peak of the G1 transformers line.
Yes. It was pretty epic.
85 was a great year for the line. Awesome video 🏆👍

I’ve been wondering, lately, how the Trainbots would have sold if they were released with Devastator in 1985.
Good question. I wondered why they didnt bring them over from the Diaclone line sooner.

I always thought that it was weird that Swoop was never released in Europe 🤔
He wasnt? Eek guess you learn something new every day!
Where the ‘mini spies’ only available in the US/Canada? I don’t remember having them in the UK (but my memory isn’t what it used to be! 😂)
Ooh I had sourced that info from friends in Canada + Mark Bellomo's guide... so i never stopped to check if this was excluded in the UK.
