I was digging through Micromasters and started thinking about notions I was absolutely sure of when I was little that I didn't find out were wrong till years later one way or another...
-G1 Hubcap was Bumblebee. Hey, they were both yellow and tiny, but Hubcap had a FACE like on the show! -G1 Pointblank was a new Hot Rod. ...Er, yeah. I thought this right up until I saw an '87 catalog and Rebirth around '94 or so. Plus, I didn't get a Hot Rod figure until he was reissued in Japan the first time. -G1 Fixit was so totally Ratchet. I had no idea what the Micromasters' names were until years later. -G1 Tote was so totally Ironhide. Uh, ditto. So what goofy things did you believe till you found out otherwise?

I had some of the typical german misconceptions... Like thinking that Powermaster Optimus Prime was the one and only Optimus Prime toy. (I did figure that toys sometimes just aren't show-accurate)
I also thought that Powermaster/Targetmaster/Headmaster units were just smaller Transformers. No organics involved ! And, quite frankly, I actually still prefer to think of them that way. --------------------  |
