Fan plotlines as the basis for a collection?

Feel free to discuss anything about any of the thousands of Transformer toys here. Anything from Generation 1 all the way to the soon to be released, the never to be released or the hope to be released is fair game! Want to show off your stuff? Please post your's and see others in the Transformers Collections Forum.

Yes. Well, to an extent. I have a special section based on Universe 2003, which basically serves as a Multi-verse hub (excluding the Live Action Movies). It has all of Universe 2003, non-show RiD and Unicron Trilogy repaints repurposed or not. I'm currently investigating the possibilities for Beast Wars (though that's mostly covered by Japanese cartoons), Animated, Prime and PCC.

What? I'm a sucker for side-stories.


Use the United EX story for PCC! Do it! Do it!

I so saw that coming :roll:
Top 5 Priorities:

1) BW Neo X-7 Elphaorpha
2) BW II VS-18 Powerhug vs. Autocrusher
3) Universe 2003 Night Slash Cheetor
4) RiD Landfill (regular, not the yellow)
5) BW Convobat (red) & Megalligator (purple)

Also looking for any clear Arms Microns, like Shadow (Gora & R.A.), Hellflame and Shining (O.P. and R.A.).

Come on, it's a decent enough storyline which incorporates several figures so far.
Of course I was going to suggest it!

And what's the issue with Animated?
Is the existing story not good, or are you trying to combine the lines?

Of course, to make them fit some characters will need new names.

It's the style, mostly. Not saying it's bad, far from it, it's just so different, it makes repurposing as G1 characters hard. Not that I do that all the time...

Yeah. The Animated figures simply AMAZED me that they could fully transform, but still keep the aesthetic of the highly stylized cartoon.

They just don't seem to fit in any other line, even with my buddy's kid's explaination, as any form of actual combat Transformer.

I still judge toys solely on the toy. I buy what looks good.

Of course, in some cases when a toy is bad, I still buy it to complete the cartoon/movie cast. *Cough* Airachnid *cough*. :HEADHURTS:

For me, it may have not been obvious from my first post, but what changed was I actually began somewhat looking forward to more Movieverse style releases when T4 comes out, to reinforce the Human 'Borg forces...
