New G1 eHobby and Henkei! Henkei!

I'm used to being more organized than I am, but having so many hobbies can create clutter from time to time if I don't stay on top of things. While doing some re-organization of my hobby room lately, I can across a small stack of cards that were actually doubles. I hadn't yet scanned these in so here we go. Everything in this update is also available for trade or purchase.

   

The Transformer Collection reissue of Targetmaster Kup and Wheelie were repainted as Orion Pax and Dion respectively. Not my favorite eHobby release, but glad to own it.

   

Blitzwing was given his original Diaclone color scheme by eHobby, along with a new name and backstory. The Quintessons manufactured these drones called Overcharge (aka Terrorbots). Note the dual faction. The toy came with a sticker sheet allowing you to make him an Autobot, Decepticon, Quintession Terrorbot, EDC or even one of Unicron's Heralds using the Beast Wars Neo Blendtron sigil.

   

Road Rage is another new character given life by eHobby. A repaint of G1 Tracks, this new female character is based on the pre-Transformers Diaclone color scheme as well. Hands down this is one of my favorite eHobby releases.

   

Garboil is one half of the Destron Cobalt Sentry released by eHobby. The Cobalt Sentries are basically the Secret Police of the Destrons. Notice Garboil has the schematics for Fortress Maximus printed on the cassette.

   

Howlback is the other half of eHobby's Cobalt Sentry. He too has the schematics for Fortress Maximus printed on his cassette form.

   

Starscream in all his Henkei! glory.

   

Takara Tomy decided to give Henkei! Astrotrain his original G1 catalog color scheme. For this reason alone the toy was worth importing.

Beast Wars II - Destrons

It's the Destrons turn to shine! I always liked how the Destrons in Beast Wars II were comprised of many different types of Transformers...i.e. not all beasts. To this day I still love the Autorollers and the Cyborg Beasts.

Gigastorm D-22

This is the Korean version of his card. I purchased this Gigastorm way back at Botcon 1999 from a seller who was blowing out his inventory on the last day. I later purchased a boxed Japanese specimen, but sadly it didn't come w/ the bio card. It appears there is some sort of game that can be played with the Korean bio cards.
