Bootleg Toy Spotlight 1 - Transmogrifiers "Starholler"
--------------------------------------------------------
Lol. Ok, so it's obviously a Transformers toy that's been scaled down greatly to the point it barely moves at all lol. It's name is clearly a pun on "Starscream", but that's just silly... Starscream was never a helicopter!
The arms don't move upwards, so his gun has to aim diagonally if he's standing.
The paint jobs on the other few there were TERRIBLE, this was the best.
I know there's at least two others in the series, one being Galaxy Megatron knockoff. There could be a lot more, if "B6" on the front of the card actually means something.
They were initially sold at A-Plus mini markets, but I got this guy for $1.99 at a discount outlet near Selingsgrove, PA.
One sees toys like this and they just want to cry. I mean, the plastic used in it's production could have been turned into something useful, like a few sporks or a part to a much cooler toy.
You HAVE to read the back of the card... it's better than the toy itself and the sole reason I bought this stupid thing, PERIOD.
You can tell someone who keeps up on the franchise wrote this, as well as adding humor in in regards to the fact they're bootlegs (Substandrotron lol). Whoever it was, they're awesome lol.
Allow me to translate it's bled-over, way too bold printing:
For centuries war raged on the distant world of Substandrotron, a planet of living machines. The
machine society was divided into two diametrically opposed camps: The heroic Virtuobots and the evil Decievocons.
When Ubertron, undisputed leader of the Decievocons gained control of the BigSpark, he used its raw power to destroy Substandrotron, scattering both the Virtuobots and Decievocons across the universe.
In search of a new home, Positivus Prime, leader of the noble Virtuobots located a remote planet called Earth. However, Ultratron and his wicked Decievocons army followed, thus continuing the war here on Earth...
Wait a minute... Ultratron? I thought they just said he was Ubertron lol.
In any case, it's great suff lol.
Notice also this is made by "hot ZONE", the same company who makes most of the toys sold at Turkey Hill mini marts.
Yes, the same guys who made bootlegs of Sidorak, Keetongu and Roodaka.
