I forget who I'm talking to sometimes (fellow TF fans)... many of us here have tons & tons of doubles+ of molds. I should've made question 3, which mold do you have THE MOST of, and which ones you have. Ah well... hindsight = 20/20.

Unfortunately for most of us, it would probably be the movie mold BBee. It has been repainted, slightly remolded a million times.

E-Arcee probably comes in next on the list.

1) What's your favorite biological (non-vehicle) alt mode TF?
Beast Wars Rampage. He's so anger- and hate-filled! Working rubber tank treads! BFG! Shiny! Huge!

(2) What's your favorite scout-class TF & why?
The ROTF Scouts are awesome, I have to say the Ransack mold in either current color scheme. A fantastic little bi-plane model in alt mode, virtually kibble-free, and a creepy little skeletal robot. The alt mode weapons translate perfectly to robot mode.

(3) What TF mold do you own multiples of (how many, which ones)?
I hate to say it, but Movie Deluxe Bumblebee, x5. It just struck a chord with me. Likewise Movie Ironhide and Barricade, I have about 4 of each, all different.
EDIT- forgot to add the Movie 1 jets- Starscream, Deep Space Starscream, G1-repaint Starscream, Thundercracker, Ramjet, and Skywarp.

(4) If you ever had to limit what you could display, what TF is at the top of your list as your MUST-display piece?
CAN'TDECIDEMUSTDISPLAYALL!! *whew* Ok, I'll say my re-issue God Ginrai/Powermaster Optimus Prime w/ Apex Bomber. Large, in-charge, chrome, many many cool modes.

Round 3. FIGHT!
OK! *punches air*

1. Probably Classics Grimlock. He is one awesome looking robo-dino!

2. Has to be Skystalker. Lil dude is just so fun. Love his alt mode, his bot mode and his gerwalk-ish mode.

3. For multiples I have 3 Skystalkers, because Mindwipe gots ta have his squadron of mindless drones!!! Have 4 of the Knock Out molds (Knock Out, 2 Reverbs, and a Trenchmouth). I just really dig the Scout motorcycles. They just hit all the right chords with me. Which is why I have 2 of the energon Arcee's (Pink and white and the blue repaint) and will probably pick up the Hunt For the Decepticons version of the Knock Out mold.

4. Probably Classics Ultra Magnus will have to be placed up somewhere. I just really like how the colors look on him so he's needs to be displayed in all his "Can't deal with this now." glory!

(1) If you talking toys then none. No beast-former has ever really appealed to me in toy form due to how much realism is sacrificed in order to accommodate even so much as a transforming feature. In terms of characterization and visual appeal in other media, it's a toss up between Lio Convoy and Big Convoy.

(2) Cybertron Hardtop. Small sniper with fairly good poseability... 'sides I don't own many scouts.

(3) Classics Prime, seeker, Nissan, and Lambo molds. I don't count the maximus combiner limbs.

(4) Unicron. Do I need a reason why? HE'S FREAKIN UNICRON! HE WILL EAT ALL YOUR COLLECTIONS AND BECOME CENTERPIECE SUPREME OF ALL TRANSFORMER-DOM! SUPREME GODDAMNIT!!!

Though if I had a Fort Max I might change my mind.

So many to choose from, I'll go with my Beast Wars Telemocha Megatron... I love me some purple T-Rex

goshjosh95 wrote:(2) What's your favorite scout-class TF & why?

Cybertron Brakedown GTS: The only figure I own that came with the giant planet map poster. Thanks to him I actually managed to get the whole poster set.

goshjosh95 wrote:(3) What TF mold do you own multiples of (how many, which ones)?

Typically I go against getting multiples of the same mold. Usually the only exceptions are when people buy them for me. These instances resulted in me having 3 of each limb mold for Energon Bruticus, (Two green tanks, one yellow, two purple copters, one orange), Regular, Premium series and Interrogator Barricade, and multiples of the Spychanger WARS. (One of whom was poorly repainted into G1 Wheeljack)

goshjosh95 wrote:(4) If you ever had to limit what you could display, what TF is at the top of your list as your MUST-display piece?

Tough call... I think Unicron due to just how long we all waited for that figure to come out.

FINISH HIM!..... Friendship. FRIENDSHIP?... AGAIN?!

Round 3. FIGHT!

1) Quickswitch. He's a teal and white puma with guns, that looks like he swallowed a boat. I think that's pretty cool

2) RotF Ransack. He's just awesome.

3)

- MP seeker - G1 Screamer (Takara release), Takara Skywarp & Thundercracker, Hasbro Skywarp
- Classics Sideswipe - U2.0 Sideswipe & Sunstreaker, Henkei Alert
- Classics Prowl - U2.0 Prowl & Silverstreak, Henkei Smokescreen

- Classics seeker - Starscream, Skywarp & Ramjet

- RotF Sideswipe - Sideswipe & Swerve
- RotF Dead End (scout) - Dead End & Nightbeat

4) Very timely question - I'm moving house and may not have room to display everything. The one TF I really want to find a suitable shelf for is MP-04. I didn't have room to show him with his trailer open in my previous display, so he was displayed in alt mode - need to find a nice, deep shelf for him so I can show him all opened up

goshjosh95 wrote:(1) What's your favorite biological (non-vehicle) alt mode TF?

Grimlock or Razorclaw.

(2) What's your favorite scout-class TF & why?

Probably Strongarm from Energon, out of the ones I own. There's a lot of play value in him, he's got the fold-down windscreen in vehicle mode, and the energon weapon has a few nice touches, being a crane or an axe for robot mode.

(3) What TF mold do you own multiples of (how many, which ones)?

I've 3 BM Jetstorms that I got cheap when they were on sale. Had intended painting them up as the G1 Seekers. Not going to bother now though, and I think 2 are still in package.
