Centurions were cool. I still remember the cartoon as well. I'd totally forgotten Visionaries. I think I had a couple.
Anyone have any Zoids? Not sure if they've been mentioned already I can't be fucked looking back through the thread. I had some of them and they were BRILLIANT.
I had this big fucker: |

Whilst I'm on a nostalgia trip, these were and are one of the best things to ever come out of humanity. The toffee one was gross though and the dinner lady always made me eat it despite my protests

I bore the shit out of my family telling them about Fiendish Feet. Just look at them. Can you imagine a better yoghurt?

I had this big fucker: My mum got me that, the Stegosaur and the flyer off of one of those back-of-a-van markets. Loved them |

I think the first transformer I got was when you collected about 10 or so tokens from Rice Crispies cereal boxes. You had a choice of 3 cars that transform into a Rice Crispy cereal box 😂

I had this big fucker: I still have most of that. Plus a few other Zoids All of which mistakenly got left outside in a non-water tight box during the wettest July here in a century. Not a fine smell, especially as one evidently still had batteries in it, based on the orange blue sheen to the water |

I have a bunch of the last Zoids rerelease we got in the 90s hoping to get my son into them (unsuccessfully) when he was old enough.
Had a nice bunch from the 80s, with the bigger ones being Krark, Gore and Red Scavenger. The Marvel comic was pretty good too bar not having an ending as such...

Zoids had some fucking awesome dinosaur things, looked amazing.
My parents got me a fucking zoid snail.
I mean, it was still pretty cool and I did enjoy it, but a robotic snail is emphatically not a robot T-Rex.

There was a zoids computer game back in the day too, stalking about fighing other ones a bit like battezone in a maze I think. A friend had it on C64 and I got a short loan of it.
I was shit at it.
At least, I'm pretty sure I didn't imagine that...

Left alone with my older brother’s Zoids, I got overexcited in battling them and dismantled all but his giant stegosaurus. When mum found out she declared them “ruined” and threw all the pieces away. Seemed a bit harsh. Especially on my brother. No wonder he hated me.

I think I bought one Zoid, may have been this one.
Also one Christmas I got a probably bootleg Starcom tank/transporter from a relative, I remember it shot missiles really far from an air pump system.

I’ve been trying to find the last two models to complete my Dogtanian figurine set on and off for the last 10 years, occasionally one of them crops up on eBay but they want scalpers prices now

Fuck you for putting the damn theme tune in my head for the next 7 weeks though. |

Weren’t there only four? I suppose the cardinal or whatever might be toy-worthy.
The first figurine I remember receiving was the green rabbit from Bucky O’Hare

My forty-one year old cousin still will never let up about me, several years his junior, stepping on and breaking his G1 Megatron one Boxing Day way back in the day. He literally still sends me eBay scalper posts and tries to guilt trip me.

Other things I forgot I had: R.A.T.S Devastator The arms, head and legs were all detachable and reattached on alternate mount points (like on top of the shoulder in the picture). The white knob behind the head was a winder to make the two saws on the chest open and close.
Orguss Orgroid II This was really cool. I didn't realise it was from an anime (I wouldn't have heard of it at the time). |
