my name is Daniel, I'm 37 years old & from Germany.

I've known seibertron.com for some years now and visited it from time to time, mostly to watch the unbelievably detailed galleries of the old 80's Transformers.

Normally, I'm a Masters of the Universe collector, but I still own my Transformers from my childhood. For example Devastator, which is my favorite next to Optimus Prime. Some days ago, I have pre-ordered the upcoming Combiner Wars Devastator because it looks sooo great! I'm really looking forward to place it next to my childhood Devastator.

Now I've joined this HUGE site because I wanted to ask a Transformers-related question in the forum (which I will do right away )

What's up, friend Hope you enjoy your Devastator, it has been a long time coming; which version did you get?

Hey, everyone. The name's Bill9000. I used to be a regular poser here at the Energon Pub years ago, but life kinda got in the way (as life does). I've been a Transformers fan ever since they first came on the scene way back in 1984, and I'm still a huge Generation 1 fan to this day (although I have a healthy appreciation for Beast Wars, too). I've sort of taken it upon myself in what little spare time I have to start compiling what I like to call the Encyclopedia Cybertronia. This is sort of my own take on Marvel's Transformers Universe and Dreamwave's More Than Meets the Eye series. I'm trying to use images of the box art for each character just like in the original tech specs, plus their stats and write-ups that are sort of a melding of information from Marvel, Dreamwave, and the the original text from the tech specs themselves. I'm a bit rusty at posting images here, so I hope this works. Here's what the original Optimus Prime's page will look like. Eventually, I'd like to make this PDF accessible to everyone here. But I may need a little help from time to time with obtaining the box art for some characters, so I hope some people here might be good enough to donate any images that they may have of the box art until I get my hands on a copy of the Transformers Legacy book.

Anyway, glad to be here and make your acquaintance.

nice attachment

Hi, Long time lurker.. first time poster..

Hey sorry, didn't see that someone answered
I got the "normal" version without weapons. It's really great and really big, but imo it should have been made in a darker green (like on the packaging for example).

Hi everyone!
I'm a 42 year old Transformers fan from the UK, I got back into collecting last Christmas when I started collecting the Masterpiece toys. i look forward to chatting with you all soon

Yo! How's it goin'? Are you considering getting into any other line? Like Combiner Wars, or are you going to stick to mp's - with the way the line is progressing, it could easily become a full time hobby...

Hope to see you 'round the thread's

Hello all! And for the real old-timers who might recognise me... hello again! I used to be around a lot way back when, when HMW first started up. Had one of the highest-level HMW Autobot teams, and I have fond memories of being good rivals with the Freak Show (Hi Burn! ). Alas, since I haven't been around since about 2008, my old HMW team seems to have disappeared. Time to start fresh! I have a lot of catching up to do. XD

So ... you live.
I'm okay with that.

Indeed, I... still... function...! Good to see you still around, Burn!

I have smiting powers now.

So I've seen! Should I be worried?

Depends on how much spam you post!

Moi? *innocence* Since when have I ever posted spam?

Hello, first post here!
I've looked around alot lately for where to start collecting, as i have no idea where to start, since theres so much cool ones around.
I really want to start with the MP-10 Optimus Prime, probably the 2nd run ko, but not sure where to buy one, or what to search. I've found this one http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-TAKARA-TOMY ... SwcBhWW1lq
Is that the same version? No idea what the KO costs around ebay, as the price seems to vary alot, but this one seemed really cheap.

It doesnt really matters with which generation it is from for me, but for Optimus id probably want the g1 based MP, i guess im going for the MP line in the long run, but seeing the price i guess some will be reissues/g1

Welcome, 8bitpirate! You have asked one of the magical questions on where to start collecting. My advice on MP-10 is, first get it! (Many have suggested it to me as well, though I do not own him yet.) The ebay link you used does seem to be a bit cheap for a legit Takara MP-10. I'd try asking the question in the Unlicensed and KO Transformers Forum. There are some very knowledgeable members of Seibertron community that could probably help.

My other suggestion, as far as collecting goes, is to go after what you think is cool, for the price you'd like to pay. There is so much cool TF stuff that has come out over the last decade or so that the choices are numerous. Seibertron's galleries can also help showcase many transformers from over the years. (Truth be told that Seibs got me back into collecting Transformers back when the first Classics were coming out. His Botcon pics of Ironhide eventually led me to pick up Energon Towline.)



Again, welcome!!

Yeah, WELCOME

Also, collect whatever you like that's out right now, lest you pay marked up prices later

I'd get at least one combiner

Hey, everyone I am kind of new here. I originally got into The Transformers from the live-action movies, but since then I have learned more about transformers history and how it all started and I eventually I began to,and still do, like Generation 1 way more(especially the characters).

I have posted some stuff before if you want to check it out that would be great, if not doesn't matter.

Been collecting what I can with what money I have, but I did recently pick up CW Defensor, (I found 1 of each robot at my local Walmart and had to grab them)so I've been having fun with him.

Good on ya; I would've said to try and collect the aerialbots as they are still shelfwarming at various locales 'round the net, but the protectobots are great too.

Thanks man. I'd like to get more of the combiners at some point or at least the entire teams of combaticons or constructicons maybe even Devastator , but the protectobots will hold me over for now .
