Re: Unidentified, need your help!

Could the missles be G1 Jetfire missles? They look kinda similar by my memory.

Not sure if G1 Jetfire came with them.

TFU has them listed as roadbusters...

Re: Unidentified, need your help!

I thought the silver gun looks like G1 Jazz or Hound.

Re: Unidentified, need your help!

Hey JF, I checked my lone Roadbuster missle (separated from tree, works in launcher) and the profiling doesn't seem to match those on your tree. The end tab is shorter.

Still, it might work in the launcher....

Are we sure the gun along the top row, 2nd from left isn't from the Skystalker playset?

And the chrome gun isn't a Bandai Insecticon's?

im not sure if those missiles are for jetfire as they dont look long/thin enough.
i do also have the skystalker playset(2,1loose and one mib)and if you look at the rear of the black twin cannon in question,there's no slot in the center for the post mount to actually attach it to the skystalker shuttle.(plus,the skystalker black twin cannon has thicker/fatter barrels.)
i just checked it out and for sure it's not either g1 skystalkers twin cannon or energon shockblast's twin cannon shield piece.
here's pics of both(on skystalkers,i removed the mounting post so you can see the "slot" it slides into in the center.)

I'm really not sure where the guns came from but as far as things go, I'm pretty sure they're not TF related so I've given up on them...

From what I can tell, none of the Deluxe Insecticons never came with chrome guns. Have you seem one that did?

Note quite the same although the missle tree does carry the same number... I thought it was from Roadbuster too but not quite a match.

The missiles are an exact match from what the auction link was claiming to be Jetfire missiles from the G1 Japanese version... not sure if it's true or not but I'd have to detach one from the tree to find out.

The cannon you have in the pic is a close resemblance but not really a match so can't be Skystalkers. Really good try though Steve!

These are from vintage stuff but came from a haul that had Starwars, Gi Joe, TFs, Visinaries and Battle Beast stuff and possible other things I don't know they had...

Thanks eveyone for your input but these are still unidentified

Do you know what GI Joe stuff they belong to by any chance?

Funny you'd think it was Mirage's! I had thought it was his at first too... after looking it up, seems like it could have been Springer's but it was smaller and didn't bleed any of the green that his did...

BTW, do you have pics of the Jetfire missiles? I didn't even know he had any until yesterday!

Thanks!
