Favorite Collectible Series of Transformers?

Postby Orion Paximus » Sun Jan 06, 2013 10:14 pm

Just wondering what everyone's favorite group of figures is for Transformers, from G1 to Dark of the Moon, from Masterpiece to Prime! There's a bunch to choose out of, say what you want and no need for a particular order!

My Favorites are:
1)- Transformers Prime (First Edition/Robots in Disguise)
2)- ROTF Series
3)-Takara Tomy Masterpieces
4)- Transformers Cybertron


State yours!!!

Motto: "Brilliant"
Weapon: Viper Pistol
1. Transformers Prime (First Edition, Robots in Disguise, Arms Micron, Beast Hunters)

Not every figure is the best. But I really like the show. I collect all the in-show characters and then I pick out which ones I like that are toys only.

2. Classics (Classics, Generations, Universe 2.0, Reveal the Shield)

They're fully articulated, new molds of our favorite G1 characters. Do I really need to go into depth about this?

3. G1

I don't always aim for these guys. But when I'm in a collector's depression with nothing to buy, I usually turn to the original line from the 80s to fill up my collection.

Those are the only three lines I collect today.

Motto: ""A beast form is the right of all sentient beings.""
Weapon: Battle Blades
1. Classics - grew up with G1 and love this updated (modern) line :D

2. Masterpiece - what can I say, these are just wonderful :x

3. Beast Era (mostly BW/BM) - basically anything with a beast mode from the mid 90's until 01/02

4. Anything that catches my eye - I know that's not a 'Series', but sometimes I'll grab one or two toys from a line.

Edit: forgot to add whatever tv series is running at the time. It should be third with the others moved down one :oops: Prime disappointed me so much that I forgot about this one :D

Motto: "Can't stop, so what! That's how I like it!"
Weapon: Rocket Launcher
1) CHUG (of course)
2) Prime
-- The show is really great, and while the line has some...questionable molds, they're mostly pretty good, and some of them are spectacular!
3) Armada/Energon/Cybertron (Mostly minicons from Armada, the bulk of bulks :lol: from Energon and Cybertron)
-- I have a big of nostalgia for Armada, but the toys don't hold much interest. I do however love minicons! The Energon line's combination gimmicks are and easy draw; the only thing better than a giant transforming robot is a giant transforming robot that combiiiines~. Cybertron just has some spectacular molds, like Downshift (Wheeljack homage wrapped up in a muscle car =P~ ), Metroplex, and of course Optimus, who I NEED to own at some point.
4) Beast Wars/Machines
-- So so many great molds I can't even begin. But it's the Beast era, and it's all great stuff.
5) Movie lines (I just need Commander Hatchet for Dotm CV Decepticons dammit D:)
-- Despite all the hate they get, there are always a few gems in each line. 07 Dropkick is just a gem, all giant Decepticon symbol and gerwalk truck mode! :D

Motto: ""Fight for those who can't.""
Weapon: Seven-Year Sword
1) Prime. Just about anything Prime with the exception of Hot Shot, but I'm sure if I see him at T.J. Max or Marshall's I'll get him.

2) Classics and Generations.

3) Animated. I love the look of these figures.

4) Movieverse. Mainly DOTM, some ROTF. None of the '07 film figs.

5) G1. Only the characters I love the most if I can find them at a somewhat decent price considering that they're vintage. :BOT:

Motto: "Take the foolish path, it's much more fun."
Weapon: Sawed-Off C02 Shotgun
I'd say that G1 is my staple line, whenever there's a lull in Transformers to buy, I'll shop around for any missing pieces. I don't do that with the other lines.
Prime would come in second, Masterpiece followed by FoC. Then probably Animated and the movies. Ive got a few characters from across the Transformers timeline, but not enough of them from each of the previous incarnations I feel to warrant making the list

Weapon: tea cup."
Right now I really love my TFP collection but that could be because I got Breakdown and Dreadwing for Christmas.

I still really love my Alternity although I stopped at one of each mold.

Masterpiece is also extremely cool.

Motto: "The only good is knowledge, and the only evil is ignorance."
I must be an oddball here, I just know it. :oops:

1) Beast Wars II and Beast Wars Neo
Yes, I'm a Beastie, I admit it! But I'm also a Japan-fan. I also like how Takara used the non-show BW molds and, at the time unreleased there, G2 and MW molds into an interesting line. Very impressive.

2) Classics
This is a no-brainer, and nothing to really say about it, so... Possibly the only "normal" pick out of the bunch.

3) Unicron Trilogy
More for sentimental reasons, really. I really started collecting when Armada was in stores, Energon had hit upon my first real 3 month vacation to the States (after dropping out of Uni) and Cybertron just had perfect designs... mostly. :lol:

Honorable mentions go to the Power Core Combiners and the Arms Micron series. :x
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.).

Preparing to move to the US!
