And some other catching up I had left to do: I've added some of the toys that I collected over the last few months. In the Diaclone section there's the Diaclone versions of Sideswipe (regular red version) and the Diaclone version of Slag. In the Kronoform section Togor (Diaclone Battle Buffalo) and Wargon (Diaclone Warudaros) have been added.

What, another update on the same day? Yep, got some catching up to do:). I've rescanned the Dorvack catalog, so that should be working again. And there's more: I've added scans of an early New Microman catalog, which shows all the stuff that was released under New Microman before the Microchange line was introduced. I hope everything is working now. If not, give me a yell and I get right on it.

And it's back! For a long time the page has been moving around, searching for a space to park, eventually even disappearing altogether, but that should be over now. I've decided to switch to a paid server, and the page is here to stay! Abd no more annoying pop-up adds either.

I've done a bit of maintenance here and there, and the page should (almost) be working entirely again. The only thing I found missing so far is the Dorvack catalog scan, which I'll have to rescan. The links section wass waaay out of date, so I've removed all the dead links.. I haven't kept track of the development in pre-Transformer related sites in years, so I haven't got a clue to what's on the net at the moment. If you have a pre-Transformer related site you'd like linked here LMK.

Hello guys, I'm still alive!:) I've found that I still have access to the page, despite the fact that Daniel cancelled his subscription, so I took the chance to restore some of the missing pictures. However, I found that I don't have some of them on my harddrive. I know this is a long shot, but if anyone has a copy of the site on his HD, including those missing pictures, could you please contact me? Then I can place them back and restore the page to its former glory. As for new stuff, I'm still not really collecting (pre-)Transformers, so I don't have much to update. However I tend to pick something up once in a while, so there might be a (very slim) chance that I add something in the (far) future:)

Finally the Pre Transformer Page has a new home! (thangs Daniel!). However, there will be no updates in the near future, as I've stopped collecting (pre-)Transformers. Not that I don't like them anymore (I'm NOT selling them!:)), but I just keep myself busy with other things nowadays. I may do a small update in some time, but at the moment I really don't have the time to work on the site. But it will remain online and a vast database for everyone:)

5-11-2000

It's been a while, but here's another update: 

- I've uploaded the new Mospeada page, with new pictures of my Alpha.

- The Microman toy pictures page has been updated with pictures of a MC-05 Microx 
  and a MC-07 1910 Browning.

- The Diaclone toy pictures page has been updated with pictures of the following toys: 
  Arinder, Sasorander and Walk Insecter Type 1.

- The links page has been updated, with various new links.

- I've also overhauled most of the other pages and added several variations to the 
  Microman and Diaclone toy page, which are now pretty much complete.

- Joined the Diaclone webring.

If you'd like to discuss about pre-Transformers with other collectors, check out the new pre-Transformer mailinglist (created by Devvi). You can choose to receive the messages by email, or read them online.

Added the last missing pictures to the Diaclone toylist.

25-2-2000

The Diaclone catalog page has been updated. I've added scans of the two catalogs which came with my Fortress Robot X. I've also rescanned the 1982/1983 catalog. 

Some bad news: It seems that I won't be getting my MC-20 Microscope. It's been over four months since I've send my money and I haven't received anything yet, nor does the seller reply to my emails. So if you should encounter a seller at eBay's named "guysack" (Roger Lim, robust@mail.super.net.ph), be warned!

18-2-2000

The new Macross and the new Batrain pages have been uploaded. For the Macross page I have made some new photos of my Valkyrie and rescanned the Macross catalog I already had. I've also added the other Macross toy and model catalog scans, which I received a while back. The Batrain page has been updated with some additional information.

12-2-2000

No updates on the page this time, but I've just received "Takara SF Land", a recently published Japanese book. It shows practically all of the toys released by Takara between 1970 and 1984, including toylines as Hensin Cyborg, Microman and Diaclone. It totally blew me away! If you can get it, buy it (the ISBN number is ISBN4-06-330086-2). Definitely a must-have for every pre-Transformer collector! It comes with a cdrom with filled with toy commercials. I'm not going to place scans of it on my page, since it's copyrighted material, but there is something that I just have to share. One page shows several pre-design sketches of Diaclones and Transformers, including Motormaster (which looks very cool b.t.w.) and a hugh never released transforming planet. This planet may very well be Unicron in its earliest form! Take a look here. If anyone can translate the text, please let me know! 

31-1-2000

I've uploaded the new Trasformer page with more information about this Italian pre-Transformer line.

I've also uploaded better pictures of the Kronoform Attakon, Microman MC11, MC12 and MC13.

30-1-2000

I've added the Diakron page, with pictures of Multi-Force 14.

I've also updated the links page, with several new and changed links, including one to my homepage. 

B.t.w. I've noticed that during busy hours it may sometimes be impossible to access the pages. If you use matrix instead of www, it may work instead.

15-12-1999

Just got the new Dorvack page ready before Christmas. No new pictures have been added, but I've rescanned some things, changed the whole layout and added some bits of information here and there.

You may have wondered where the guestbook has gone. Apparently Guestworld has had a harddisk crash. It should work again, but unfortunately all of the data from the guestbook has been lost:( Anyway thanks for everyone who has given me support by leaving some comments in my guestbook. 

Best wishes everyone!

I didn't get all of the French comic scans uploaded last time, because my connection with Crosswinds was cut of. Now they're all working.

I've also added two more links in the links page.

18-11-1999

Apparently, Crosswinds moved my site from www2 to www, so the new address will be "www.crosswinds.net/~frx" (don't mind the matrix, that's only temporarily). As you may have noticed, some of the links didn't work anymore since the address change, but everything should work again now (except for the pages which I still haven't added).

I've also added more high resolution scans to the Diaclone toylist.

The links page is updated.

Lastly I've also added the French Diaclone page with scans and translations of some of the comics that came with the toys.

21-9-1999

I've uploaded the renewed version of the Beetras page. It now also contains pictures of Beet Gugal (pre Chop Shop) and a few other new pictures.

I've also noticed that the last two Microman Micro Change toys were missing from the Microman toylist, so I've added them.

14-9-1999

I've fixed the problems and I've also uploaded some new pictures to the Diaclone Toy list. 

9-9-1999

An update! I've added the new Gun-borg, Mechabot-1 and Kronoform page. I've also updated the Microman page with pictures of a MC-11 44 Magnum.

*** It appears that a few of the new pictures aren't working properly. I'll try to fix it 
       next week. 

7-7-1999

The Pre Transformer has (yet another) new home! I've relocated the page to Crosswinds, which gives unlimited space and no banners. This means that I don't have to worry about the size of the pictures anymore, so I can make them in most occasions much larger and clearer than before. I've also taken the opportunity to redesign and rewrite almost every part of the page, which is something I've wanted to do for a long time. I hope you like the new look. 

So far I've got most of Diaclone and Microman sections ready and the Orguss page is completely ready (didn't need to change much). I'm still working on the Diaclone toylist, which I will add later. I've already uploaded an early version, but it's not finished yet.

New stuff that has been added to this page:
- Fortress Robot X (as you may have noticed by the corner picture:))
- Micro Robot 7-2-1
