This post ended up being delayed by a change of lightbox midway through- you should see the changes
Back in the 80s, the
minibots were packaged in blister-packs- that is to say, a molded clear plastic "blister" on cardboard backing with artwork a lot like THIS:
Minibots and Deluxes are sold now in a more secure variation of blister packaging
They were cool, they were the least expensive, and they were fond memory makers. over time, some of these characters were remade, some countless times, and some got bigger. They evolved, they transformed(yep, said it)
Recently Hasbro gave some of the old minibots some love, and is still doing it. so I thought I would show some of what is out there from Hasbro and others

all three are very true to their G1 appearance, and very cool
Igears products are a joy to have, particularly with the bios they
add to the packaging |

Bumblebee, Swerve, and Tailgate are new- Windcharger was from 2010
as part of the reveal the shield line, and was rare as hens teeth to find due to
under-ordering on his wave of toys |

replace this XTransbots version on my shelf |
