Got him at a garage sale for twenty bucks only missing 2 parts, and in good condition.

DAYUM!!!!!!

i love all my g1's from whem i was a kid. at the top of the list though... i wanna say ramjet, maybe prime, or hot rod...i dunno

ALL OF THEM.

But for sake of argument, I'm gonna go with my MIB working Omega Supreme.

OverLord is on his way though

Still as close follow ups my...

G1 Megatron, far from perfect, and I payed top dollar but this was befor ebay and reissues.

G1 Metroplex, one of the only figs I had as a kid, and my brother snapped in half, again top dollar for a MIB, and same conditions. I just remember how happy I was after waiting so long to finaly get him!!!

G1 Devastaor Gift set, scored him for $10 at a flea market along with Wreck-Garr, Scorponok, and Grimlock(helped get me back into collecting)

G2 Laser Prime, my oldest active bot in complete condition.

Optimal Optimus, as alpha and omega, he is my AutoBot and Maximal field commander!

G1 JetFire, another one of the few I had as a kid that my brother broke, I put the canopy fire out in time to save the body. He's still active, even after being given away, he found his way back to me. I did however get a complete second for display.

Then G1 BumbleBee, The first bot I got and second one in my house(my brother got Huffer first). When I got him I sat to watch Transformers, my brother who got CliffJumper the same day wanted to see what this show was about, and got mad at the TV because red BumbleBee wasn't in the episode. An act that turned him off to all toys especialy TFs to this day

Maybe BB should be bumped up cause man that kid destroyed my bots!!!!

Is MSB the same as MISB???
If it is, how do you know it still works

Sorry, I corrected it and upon thinking more about the topic took a second to elaborate

And yes, (like in the Galvatron thread) I got him, displayed him, and it wasn't untill I statred moving (sadly) often that I decided he should remain in stasis(reboxed). I did recently get an imperfect second to keep active and enjoy

I'm going to go with my MP-4 that I had autographed by Peter Cullen at Botcon. That by itself is cool, but what makes it really special is the experience that went with getting it.

I woke up extra early so that I would be near the front of the line and wait for all of the new friends that I had made there. And just like all of the other lines there it was huge. But when everybody else showed up it was so much fun standing there and talking to each other that the wait didn't seem like anything at all. Plus we all got to meet Mr. Cullen, and my wife took pictures!

And I'm happy that I still get to talk to those people on this board pretty much everyday. Cheers guys!

i love my movie ironhide because he was the first TF i've had after about ten years. i got him right after i saw the movie because i thought he was so cool in it. i had no idea that buying that one toy would evolve into the madness that is my obsession today!

Primal Prime and MP-01 Optimus Prime

I believe most of us have been there
Didn't think Protoform Prime would cause me to spend over £100 in a few months in one genre. I know that's nothing, but for me, who rarely spends more than £30 a month at all, thats quite impressive.

You stand on the edge of madness, be ready for a very steep drop .

But don't worry, it's at least a fun ride

Until you hit the bottom & realize how much debt you're now in. Luckily I haven't reached that yet

I'd have to say either G2 SpaceCase, because some one got it for me because its name reminded them of me (my real name being Casey) I just wish I still had him :<

If not him, than my Pepsi Optimus Prime I won from this summer's contest. He just made my Optimus collection feel complete (even if its not- I'm missing a prime from G2 and Alternators)

Cash and carry and then that isn't an issue

For the bigger bots on my list, I have change jars that I (sometimes generiously) add to.

Still, there have been plenty of weeks where I skipped on food for bots

But seriously, I never have and wont buy bots on credit. There's a sign writen in crayon on a paper plate on the wall of a bar that I like and it reads "If you need credit, you don't need beer, you need a job"

Words to live by in all areas of life

I'd have to say classics skywarp.. I hadn't bought a toy in more than ten years until the movie showed up.. After that I did more research and found out the joy of the Classics...

This got to be my MP-01, now complete with my newly acquired custom trailer and upgrade kit. The most complete, and the biggest TF toy in my collection. A very detail toy and with all the launching gimmicks. Even Prime himself has to give it a thumbs up.

Prolly

G1 Soundwave Bad Condition

or, Cybertron Leader Optimus Prime

Or 08 BB? Who knows.

Fortress Maximus is my favorite and most prized figure in my collection mostly due to sentimental value.

I was not going to bother responding to this post, but then the perfect response came to me.

I have a 5 year old. For months he played with my Masterpiece Prime (always with great care). When the 20th Anniversary DVD edition came out, my son got his very own Prime. Yes, I spent $50 on one toy for my kid.

He loves that toy. If you have seen Toy Story, well Prime is my son's Buzz and Woody all rolled up into one. It has been a year and he has never lost interest in Prime. Even as i type this tonight, Prime is tucked into bed with him. If something were to happen to it, he would be devastated.

Therefore, I say that my most precious transformer (out of 600+) is my son's 20th Anniversary DVD editon Optimus Prime.

My most precious TF would be my 20th Anni Prime as it was the very first Christmas gift and very first Transformer my wife bought me. And I'd been pining away for it ever since it came out, but could never justify the price tag.

And yet, I didn't even bat an eye lid when I bought a 1/48 VF-1S

omega surpreme the first TF i had. I had know idea what he transformed into but i loved him. my grandma found her at a garage sale and got it for me and thus i started watching transformers and it truly transformed my life

09 bumblebee, he was just so rare and dificult to find.

Not here. I seen it be the dozens

Its a real toss-up between:

Classics Ramjet - got me into collecting
20th Anniversary Prime - because he is awesome
Re-issue Prowl - so easy to transform, and looks great

From a strict value standpoint, I'd have to say Botcon Ratchet.

For sentimental value, I'll go with Classics Bumblebee b/c he got me back into collecting.

Order of Preciosity:
MP Megatron with upgrade (Don't touch please!)
MP Starscream, loose and MISB
BB Metallic Megs MISB
BB Metallic Ratchet MISB
Cybertron Soundwave MISB
Classics Jetfire loose and MISB

and various loose movie line, including all three leaders.
