So I know many of us collect things from when we were kids, but one thing is doing a spectacular job of alluding me. When I was very young (maybe 10 at the most) my grandma bought a few transforming toys (I'm not sure if they were actual Transformers, so calm down) and one of them was a bat that turned into a robot. My cousins and I fought over them, and I eventually ended up with the one I liked the most - The Bat one. Now I've seen the big ugly gray thing online recently, but what I'm talking about was a small black (maybe dark brown) action figure of a bat creature. it transforms. I can't find it. Can anyone help me figure this out?

Sounds like a Gobot, offhand. I'm looking some things up. Be back soon.
A good question is, how old are you? So we have a round about idea of when "childhood" was, so we have a basic timeframe to work with.

Never mind. My net connection sucks ass tonight, and not allowing me to look anything up for you.
I suggest checking through this link: Identify Your Unknown Transformer - www.tfu.info. Check Black, Grey, Purple, and Blue. Purple, blue, and grey can become so dark, and with memory, that they can seem like black.

Yeah, they've been making up nasty transformers for awhile, I somewhat recall a partial name of a half-assed bat one, probably not it though...
I'll let you know if I come up with anything better. |

Based on the timeframe, it sounds like a Beast-era toy.
The only one besides Onyx Primal I can come up with is Noctorro, but he was released in 1998. There was also a Gobot called Weirdwing, but he's more of a reddish brown and came out in 1987. Same here. Mindwipe was also the reason I chased down the other three large Decepticon Headmasters.

Noctorro! I think that's what I was thinking of. Wasn't there some skanky little Optimus bat-like thing?

I loved mindwipe when I was a kid. He was one of the very few toys that got lost somehow that I don't currently have from my childhood.

I still have my original, complete and unharmed. I let my cousins play with my Joes and Star Wars figures - never my Transformers. It's probably why most of the toys that survived were TFs.

Yeah, the first version of Optimus Primal that came in a 2-pack with Gator Megatron. Onyx Primal is the redeco'd Botcon exclusive version of that mold.
