Right,I dont buy repaints or drones so the question is,have i (almost) completed 'MY' collection?
I have:

Autobots:
Optimus Prime
Ironhide
Jazz
Bumblebee
Landmine
Arcee
(?Ratchet?)
(?Towline?)

Decepticons:
Megatron
Starscream
Blackout
Incinerator
Barricade
Brawl
Bonecrusher
Dropkick
Wreakage
Stockade

I know I still need 2 get Ratchet and Towline but can anyone see anything missing?obviously not including repaints/drones as metioned above or differing classes.Anyone know of any more new moulds(i.e.allsparks,etc)have heard people mention the names 'Overcast' and 'Big daddy',I'm pretty sure overcast is a drone repaint(SIN!) but no idea about 'Big daddy'.

Cheers

big daddy is a repaint of a Cybertron figure.
And i think his name isn't TowLine, I think it was Longarm or Strongarm or something like that.

Well, there are two Bumblebees (old and new, so one version is missing from your list) and Scorponok. The Frenzy from the battle scene is better than the one with Barricade. Not sure if you count Real Gear figs with the movie line (I assume not).

That looks a lot like my Movie collection.

I don't want Arcee for sure, or Ratchet (yet), and have Nightwatch Prime.
But I still need to get Longarm too.

As far as Decepticons,
I want to get Deep Space SS, cause I don't have any version of him yet.
Oh, and Dropkick.
I don't have any interest in Incinerator.
Everyone else on your list, I have.
Take that back, I haven't bought Jazz yet... But I'm not worried--
I was at Walmart this evening, and there were about 7 of him.
Not sure if I really want him or not.
I guess with all of the repaints I'm skipping on, I will eventually.

Honestly, I think your collection looks on point.

Sorry forgot 2 mention not wanting 'old' BB and Scorponok(or real gear),didnt want Ratchet for the longest time,still dont,but the autobots really need some help,

Take that back, I haven't bought Jazz yet... But I'm not worried--
I was at Walmart this evening, and there were about 7 of him.

dont jinks yourself,I did that with both Jazz and Brawl,had to buy the PFPrime/Jazz/Brawl 3-set in the end,but dont regret doin so,the protos arent 2 bad. Mind you,if I ever see a G1 Jazz I'll buy it.
Got leader-class desert strike Brawl on orders aswell now,which means I gotta hunt down night watch Prime and a cheap Megs(and I was doing so well avoidin leaderclasses til now :roll:

)

Yeah, I suppose I should go ahead and get Jazz sooner than later.
I was only waiting to see these Jolt, Grindcore, and big Daddy figures in person... I don't think I'll get them, but you obviously know how that goes.

I do have Offroad Ironhide, because I didn't get the reg. one,
and the Best Buy exclusive Megatron.
I do have the reg. one of him, but this summer when I get some more time, I'm going to try and repaint him.

All I have left:
Deep Space SS
Longarm
Dropkick
Jazz (still a maybe)
Ratchet (most likely not, but I kinda like the Rescue version)
and those 3 stupid repaints (most likely not)

Gah, soooo close!!!!

by **Straken** » Thu Feb 28, 2008 1:25 am

Off-road Ironhides a good repaint,shame i got the black one,its so hard 2 make out any detail,definately going 4 the rescue ratchet if i get 1.
guessing jolt and grindcore are cybertron repaints?
Whats different about the best buy Megs?
I would wait it out for a metallic leader-Megs but i doubt we'll see them over here.

cheers

Well, being in the UK I'm a bit behind everyone else. I'm trying to get all the figures (except the repaints of earlier lines), so the only ones I need now are:

Deluxe: Stockade, Overcast, Jungle Bonecrusher, Stealth Bumblebee, Salvage, Allspark Bumblebee, Allspark Jazz, Allspark Barricade, Allspark Brawl, Premium Bumblebee, Premium Jazz, Premium Barricade

Voyager: First Strike Optimus Prime, Evac, Off Road Ironhide, Incinerator (US ver.), Premium Ironhide, Premium Blackout, Deep Space Starscream,

Leader: Night Watch Optimus Prime (US ver.), Deep Desert Brawl, Premium Optimus Prime, Premium Megatron

Legend 2-packs: Cliffjumper / Recon Barricade, Jazz / Bonecrusher, Ironhide / Desert Blackout, Battle Jazz / Ice Megatron, Bumblebee / Scorponok

Real Gear: Hacker, Highline, Photon, Farsight, Midnighter, Twitcher

Cyber Slammers: Ironhide, Patrol Barricade

FAB: Gyro Blade Blackout, Ramjet, Fire Blast Optimus Prime, Pulse Cannon Ironhide, Smokescreen, Rally Rocket Bumblebee, Rescue Torch Ratchet, Desert Blast Brawl, Night Attack Megatron

Japan Exclusive: Black Arcee, Trans Scanning Bumblebee, Trans Scanning Prime, Pink Arcee (I have one on order, shipped last Monday)

Of course, I may also need the Lawson Metallic Blackout - even after studying pictures I'm still not sure as to whether or not it's identical to Premium Blackout. I'd certainly like to know for sure before I part cash with the Lawson variant.

So as you can see it's still far from over for me!

by **Cyberjet #7** » Thu Feb 28, 2008 3:02 pm

My set right now consist of:

Deluxe:
Classic BB, Con BB, Arcee, Barricade, Rec. Barricade, Jazz, G1 recolor Jazz, Dreadwing, Stockade, Landmine, Cliffjumper, Bonecrusher, Divebomb, Jolt

Voyager:
Megatron, Prime, Robo-vision Prime, Ratchet, Ironhide, Starscream, Balckout, Evac, FS Prime, Thundercracker, Res. Ratchet, Incinerator, G1 recolor Starscream

Leader:
Prime, NW Prime, Megatron, Brawl, DD Brawl

Some are loose and some are sealed. Alot are both loose and a couple sealed copies.

What about Jetstorm and Wingblade? Did they ever get released?

Big Daddy is a repaint of Cybertron Downshift.

I just have Stockade and Incinerator left to chase down, then i'd be quite content with the movie line. Afterall, the TF Universe line is already pumping up my blood pressure levels. Though, i wouldn't mind checking out the remold head sword slinging Prime, if it's dat tight, i may end up with 2 movie Primes.

Seibertron still rocks.

The OP (original poster, not Optimus Prime) may also want to consider the purchase of FAB Frenzy. True, it's not exactly accurate, but otherwise it's a really nice figure with a fun transformation.

Oh, and Gold Lawson 77 Bumblebee really is the Daddy of Beef. Everyone should have that baby.

The "Best Buy Megs" is the Voyager that is painted both with metallic paints, AND is 20 times more movie accurate.
Imo, it is AWESOME.
The reg. one that I have will be repainted this summer.
I actually think I'm going to try and paint it similarly to the Best Buy one, but use some matte finish paints to make it look like he's somewhat "worn", or older.

The 3 Walmart Allspark exclusives ARE Cybertron repaints.
Downshift if definitely one. I think Cannonball is another.

I do feel bad for those of you that aren't in the states...
I've seen Rescue Ratchets pretty much every time I've gone to Target.
Those and Thundercrackers.

I haven't seen those two yet, but I'm pretty sure they will be released soon.
I don't know this for sure, but since we've seen images of the packaging, I'd say it's a pretty safe bet.
