The one in the middle with no sound is for the Monsterbots, if anyone cares.
Also, the animation in the Triggerbots/-cons commercial is just recycled from the Powermasters commercial, which is a shame because those little guys ruled! The Triggercons especially got really weird bios that sadly never figured into their comic appearances. Windweeper was head of Cybertron's sanitation department, which he ran like a fascist dictator! Tossing garbage at him works better than shooting at him!
@DangerousD6969 They only ever figured into the Marvel comic, first in the UK story City of Fear. That kicked off a six-issue arc in which Flywheels played a pivotal role, though strangely he seemed to be a triple-changer instead of separating. They were in the Mayhem Attack Squad, and thus badass!
Battletrap had his TFU profile in the back of US issue#56, but only showed up in #75-80, and again in G2#7: injured and being carried by Starscream, he might have died thereafter.
Aside, from Springer, the Autobot triple changers sucked. Broadside's hull often corroded in salt water and I think he was afraid of heights in jet mode according to his specs. Sandstor's rotors and intakes would often get clogged with sand, if I remember correctly.
while my mom was going through our basement cleaning it out a few months ago i noticed a transformers i looked at it and i said wow its sandstorm g1 my uncle was huge on comics and transformers and everything else back then turns out he bought sandstorm as a kid and left it here he lives in japan now i bet he still has some other transformers lying around somewhere
@DangerousD6969 They were in the headmasters.
