Transformers Triggerbots and Triggercons commercial

These Transformers would have come out in 1988 or 1989, after the last season of the first generation TV show. By this time, there were many different characters in the toy line that had not had a chance to appear in the show, but might have made their way into the comic.

And When The Triggerbots battle The Triggercons There's no doubt it will be a real shoot out! I wish I had those toys

Sorry about that.

These were some of my favorite G1ers: small, but complex enough to have retractable guns in both modes. Ruckus (manilla/purple dune buggy) is my fav.

They also figured into the Matrix Quest arc later in the comics. Dogfight (blue jet) seemed to have a regular plate-mouth (Optimus, Soundwave, etc), but artist Jose Delbo interpreted it as a marionette-like jaw assembly. When he showed up in IDW's Stormbringer comics, that design was carried over with some improvements by Don Figuroa.

In the Marvel Comic book these Transformers were part of scout team with Optimus Prime and then megatron had the Triggercons as his personal bodyguard. The Triggerbots were eventually captured and put into a Decepticon prison for millions of years but then Megatron's Triggercons were probably killed as Megatron would get shot at alot, lol.

Whatever. I keep getting them confused.

[bigcat1012]

[ReverendSyn]

Theyre re-releasing Cybertron Ratchet in new decos as Crankcase, a Triggercon homage.
