I have a transformer. this thing is HUGE. and I don’t know if it’s a bootleg transformers or not. if he isn’t, what was this guy’s name? It has 3 forms, a tank, a griffon and a human. it’s green, white and blue. And I’m not sure if it had weapons besides the guns on its feet that appear in tank mode. So, can you help? ---

OK, look at the picture [here](http://www.geocities.com/prime357/Tf1.jpg). (Note, if it doesn’t work (sometimes Geocities won’t let you link from an outside page) just copy and past the link, that should waork)). Scroll about halfway down, and look in the bottom left corner of the third page, is that it? If so, then it has more than just griffon, tank, and robot, it is also a gun, drill, and plane. ---

SixShots was the first 6 changer. [Linky](http://www.animeking.net/shop/prod_list.php?maingroup=Transformers&secondgroup=Reissue%20Takara) GreatShots was the same mold reissued in different colors in Japan [Linky](http://203.198.153.12/~hktf/tfg1/Toys/c325.jpg) DoubleDealer was a powermaster mercenary. He came with two engine mini-bots. DD changed into a humanoid form, a falcon, and a missile trailer. [Linky](http://www.angelfire.com/ca5/Prowl/doubledealer.html) DoubleClouder was the same mold reissued in different colors in Japan [Linky](http://203.198.153.12/~hktf/tfg1/G1b/c308a.jpg) BTW-Bouv, your link didn’t work for me. Re-Biggest Transformer I don’t recall for sure. But I believe Fortress Maximus was the biggest Transformer. He stood roughly 3 feet in his humanoid form. ---

:smack: :smack: This is what I get for skimming Bouv’s post. I make a comment about his link he already addressed[sub]sorry bout dat Bouv. Me culpa. Mea maxima culpa. Antemeridian. Uncle Meridian. All The little Meridians…[/sub]. AND I forget about QuickSwitch/SixKnight. QuickSwitch IIRC was the Autobot son(or maybe the brother) of Sixshots and the second sixchanger made. SixKnight was (you know the drill) [Link](http://www.toyarchive.com/Transformers/ToysQuickswitchMIB.html) I’m gonna go play with my transformers now. ---

Hijack! I once saw a digital calculator watch that transformed into an Autobot. I believe the name was “Calcor”. It was a _real_ calculator watch, too. I saw it in one of those Novelty stores in a mall in the 80’s. Was it an official Transformer? The package sure looked correct, but I’ve never seen anything like it in various official Transformers guidebooks. Anybody seen this? ---

The Transformer watch I had didn’t have a calculator, and wasn’t an official Transformer, either. I don’t know if yours was, though.
