I'm not as big a one as I am a Transformers fan, but I used to watch the show and pick up the comics off and on as a kid. I only had a few of the action figures, mainly acquired when relatives bought them for me at random, and most of them got repurposed during play.

The Crimson Guard figure was my favorite, because not only did it look so damn cool, it was an excellent playtime multitasker. Power armor super-hero? Crimson Guard's your man. Tragic figure who must wear his containment suit at all times or lose control of his energy-manipulating powers (an early draft of the later-much-less-tragic Don Griffin)? Crimson Guard can do that. New type of deadly Imperial assassin droid designed to supplement the Emperor's guards? Have you called Crimson Guard's agent? The possibilities are just plain endless with this guy. I played with mine until his joints were as floppy as an unstrung marionette dipped in bacon grease. Eventually the rubber band that held his legs on broke, and I was very sad.
