Some collectors collect multiple iterations of the same character, or maybe only all versions of one character. Based on fan votes, here is the top 10 Transformers characters that fans own the most versions of!

Transformers fans often cringe at the notion of parts-forming. However, sometimes it makes sense and sometimes, for some gimmicks, it is even necessary. While it can include as simple as pop-on heads and pop-in fists, it can also include multiple body parts needed for a complete robot, like Japanese headmasters or duocons. One bot, one mind, multiple parts, from G1 to now!

Popular among Transformers fans for self-care and/or refocusing on one's work is to grab your "go to" desk or comfort bot. As votes on by fan, these are the top 10 of those. Note, the voting was WILD and broad!

This week's, fans voted on the Top 10 Transformers gimmicks. It should be noted that a gimmick is something that enhances, modifies or alters the basic premise of a product to increase sales. In this case, the basic premise is Transforming. So, while it is a toy gimmick, since this whole list is Transformers, that isn't a gimmick in this case but rather the entire basis of why the product exists. But, all them lights, sounds, automorphs, secret compartments, blast effects goodness is up for grabs!

I have avoided this list for a LONG time but after request after request to do it, here is the Top 10 Most Hated Transformers characters, as voted by fans. The voting was furious and , as I feared, many stuck to the characters and the fiction, others misunderstood hate and equated it with other feelings and, worst of all, some doughheads tried to bring in their politics and prejudices. A very difficult topic I am glad to have out of the way.
