* Autobots (Generation 1) == = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = == [04/07/2001] THE TRANSFORMERS TECH-SPEC LISTING [04/07/2001] == = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = == *** Notes before the fact: This is an INCOMPLETE listing of Transformers stats. We have tried to maintain some level of integrity, but because Hasbro has been known to change some info or accidentally have printing errors we've given all stat numbers a tolerance of +/- .75 so if your card says more or less on a Transformer on the list, it's most likely due to printing than human error. If the numbers are SIGNIFICANTLY off please send me the correction(s) and I'll fix it and give you credit. See the bottom of this file on where to send corrections. I have also modified the table of contents to list the character's name and function instead of the previous three column alphabetical listing. *** Reading the spec list... -- It's pretty straight forward but in case you get confused this should spell things out for you. Our example will be Megatron: ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- Megatron {Gun} Function: Leader Group: Decepticon " Peace through tyranny. " | Stren. | Intel. | Speed | Endur. | Rank | Cour. | Firep. | Skill | 10 10 4 8 10 9 10 9 Megatron combines brute strength, military cunning, ruthlessness and terror. Aches to return to Cybertron to conquest after destroying all Autobots on earth. Plans to possess all Earth resources. Incredibly powerful and intelligent. Fires nuclear- charged fusion cannon. Can link up interdimensionally to a black hole and draw antimatter from it for use as a weapon. No known weakness. ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- The dashed lines are separators and nothing more. Next is the name of the transformer followed by an optional curly braces. This is a basic description of which version of this toy it is. For example Megatron comes in five different forms: Gun, Action Master, Tank, Hero Tank, and Go-Bot. There is a key supplied to help you figure out which version is being talked about, or a description of what it turns into will be supplied. Next is the function; What their job is. And finally what subgroup/allegiance the toy is. The second line is the quote of that character. In some cases, like with the Micromasters, multiple quotes may apply. If so, the names of the characters will be stated on the line after the quote. The third and fourth lines are used together. The first one is abbreviations (where needed) of a Transformer's attributes, and a numerical rating of each one from 1 to 10. Below is the rough translation of each one: Stren. = Strength (Physical Strength) Intel. = Intelligence (How smart they are) Speed = Speed (How fast they are in beast/vehicle/robot mode) Endur. = Endurance (physical durability) Rank = Rank (Rank on the command chain) Cour. = Courage (Guts / bravery under fire) Firep. = Firepower (How powerful is their gun) Skill = Skill (How well they perform their function) Team. = Teamwork (How well the squad works as a team) Co-Opr. = Cooperation (How well the squad cooperates with each other) Please note that 'Teamwork' and 'Cooperation' only apply to Micromaster groups, and replace 'Rank' and 'Firepower'. The remaing lines describe the Transformer's personality, weaponry, weaknesses, etc.. In some cases no profile or stats are supplied. This occurs with some of the foreign Transformers. If this is the case, a dash will replace each stat and a note stating anything of value about the toy will be in place of the profile. * Legal stuff: * "The Transformers", "Beast Wars", "Beast Machines", "Machine Wars", "Autobots", "Decepticons", "Maximals", "Predacons", "Vehicons", and all codenames and subgroups listed are copyrighted by Hasbro and/or Kenner. -- The toys themselves are copyrighted by Hasbro, Takara, Banadi, Toy Box, ToyC, Kenner, and maybe one or two other companies I don't know about. * This list was produced for educational purposes only.
