The only one I can remember having was the purple and black one with the raisable antennae that were clear yellow plastic, think it had wings too? I know it was a Decepticon.

Definately sounds like one of the Insecticons, Kickback if my memory serves me right.

Not G1 related per se, but Transformers related...

Thank you Toys R Us for ignoring street dates! For everyone except maybe Lord Sathien, let me explain; these two are Drift and War for Cybertron Optimus Prime who are part of a wave of figures not supposed to be on shelves until I think August 6th. But someone at my work stuck a case of these guys out the other morning and I went back today and snagged them. Funny, because Hasbro is really obvious about their street date restrictions; boxes from them that are dated have huge orange bands across them saying "DO NOT PUT ON SHELVES UNTIL X DAY OF XX MONTH." Not that I'm complaining, got these guys a month ahead of time!
