[Megazarak]

Scorponok and friends!!!

[alldarker]

Ahhh... Just having all these choices almost makes me giddy. My first reaction is: ALL OF THEM!

But faced with a choice, my vote's going to... Grand Maximus, Black Zarak, and Scorponok!
Mostly due to me wanting to see some of GM's Pretender shell...

I dont know about opening those Transformers, you probably paid a lot for them. I got a total of 194 Transformers and 108 are still factory sealed, yes most of them are pretty common and not rare like the ones you have. Im guessing that the value of your collection to be worth $20,000-$30,000+ and opening them will cause the value to go down. My collection it worth around $7,500.00, but I could never bring myself to open the ones that I have that are still factory sealed. Even though I am jelous that you have soo many rare Transformers, if you were to open some I would be really really careful use an exacto knife so the packaging doesnt tear.

I could have swore Black Zarack was already opened...

I'm pretty sure in the podcast about holy grails he mentioned that it was opened.

It's opened ... that was the only way I would buy it so that I could make sure that the gold plastic was intact.

While the value of my collection is of interest to me (and I hope that 4,000+ Transformers is worth more than $20,000 to $30,000), taking pictures of these toys and creating content for Seibertron.com is of far greater interest to me than the value of sealed boxes. We all deserve awesome galleries of all of these toys. That's what matters most to me.

Ah yes, the catch 22 of leaving a GPS figure MISB: Opening one permanently reduces the number of sealed figures, but it might have deteriorated into a pile of shards inside the pristine box for all you know. Same goes for plastic that yellows easily, and PVC that discolors or develops slimy residue.

What would Orpheus do?

Different batches have different deterioration rates, of course. My only experience with GPS is a Talon I bought second hand whose launcher had the peg replaced with metal, but that's more because the pegs are too tiny, right? My Slog, Bristleback, Electro, and Killbison have held up fine, but I know I'm just lucky they all came from good batches. But again, for all we know, GPS could get even worse over time, causing total disintegration in another 10 years, so please do galleries of all the famous sufferers ASAP.

And I, for one, thank you! I would never get to see many of these otherwise - let alone own.

Love the galleries!

[Gauntlet101010]

I'm going to vote Black Zarak. If he's an option ... it's gotta be done.

My second choice would be those Botcon Breakdowns.

Guess I didnt realize how many Transformers you actually have. So now i guess your collection to be worth well over $175,000. And its good to see that there are some people out there that are willing to share what they have spent their life time collecting. You show us Transformers that we had no idea that they existed. I some day plan to pass my collection to my kids in the future. And when I get a bigger house I'm planning on get a custom display case to I can display all of the different varations of Optimus Prime. Again kudos for sharing your impressive collection.

[Twitchythe3rd]

Seeing how he plays a part in Fall of Cybertron, I say go for Metroplex.

[DISCHARGE]

All of these are needed, NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Rated X]

Go for the Black Zarak. With the possibility of an add on kit that turns Energon Dark Skorponok into Black Zarak, alot of fans including myself would love to see the original in its full glory as only you can bring it.

[quickmixed]

Only 9% for Liokaiser? I would realy like to see a detailed gallery of him next.

[spacekees]

Grand Maximus, Black Zarak, and Scorponok!

[Seibertron]

I added this poll to Facebook since we've only had about 56 votes so far here.

I've always really liked the Headmasters Jrs., so Horribull (or Bullhorn) is my toy of choice. Passed him up boxed once, cheap. I still hate myself for that.

[joevill]

Wow no votes for the BotCon 1994 Breakdown and BotCon 2004 Breakdown? I would love to see that but I would much rather see the Grand Max gallery.

[robotmel]

I was looking through the galleries but couldnt seem to find anything on Movie/Hunt for the Decepticons Firetrap who makes for a nice Brawn.

Is there any chance we could get a mini gallery of this little scout figure (or is it lost within the sub-menus)?

Thanks.

Firetrap is actually an Autobot. I have a half finished gallery of him but wasn't ever able to finish it. It's on my list to complete along with some of the other figures that still haven't got the gallery treatment yet.

I agree with you that he would have made a great Brawn. Thanks for reminding me that I need to finish this gallery. Maybe I'll knock some of these out in the next few months.

[Sabrblade]

As good a Brawn Firetrap makes, it's ironic that he was colored as he was since there was already ROTF Brawn.

I prefer calling him Roadbuster, despite the lighter shades.

[Godzillabot Primal]

Not to be brash, but when is the next gallery coming?

[Megatron000]

Fall of Cybertron (or Seibertron lol)!

[Godzillabot Primal]

Fall of Cybertron (or Seibertron lol)!

........You do realize that he's already done all the available figures

Quite frankly I think seeing some of the new Kreo sets would be kewl. Although we're probably getting some more Arms Micron figures in the next galleries. The new Evil Bee' should be coming soon
