The best of 1987-1990

Postby Delicon » Fri Feb 24, 2012 4:00 pm

Motto: "Seibertron.com: Other sites lack the meat!"
Weapon: Battle Blades
I've always been proud to say that I was there when Transformers all began. I still remember watching the first mini-series and getting the toys as they first hit the shelves. The thing is, shortly after the (1986) movie, I didn't get many new figures. I can't remember the reason any more, if it was the lack of new cartoons that dwindled my interest in new characters or that people stopped buying me as many or whatnot. I also didn't read many of the comics from that era on until much later.

So, as an adult collector, I have picked up pieces here and there and do really enjoy some of them. I'll admit even some of the quirkier ones such as Flamefeather have impressed me. However, some of that stuff from that era, especially some of the Targetmaster/Headmaster stuff seems pretty pricey so I definitely don't feel like I need to be anywhere near a completionist (also known as a Razorclaw0000) with this stuff.

The question I pose to you, is what figures are "must-haves" from the last part of the G1 era?

Motto: "The only good is knowledge, and the only evil is ignorance."
Powermaster Optimus Prime, most definitely. :lol:
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!

Most of the Headmasters were awesome, especially Scorponok. Also loved the Terrorcons, Technobots, Seacons, Predacons, Trypticon, Rodimus Prime, Kup, and Galvatron.
