The Energon Pub

What is your favorite line of Transformers out of all of them from 1984? Also which lines are worth collecting?
Mine is between the classics and 2007 movie.

id say movie, because its all that i really have.

Armada baby. Even though I started off with Beast Wars, Armada really brought me into the hobby.

I would have to say Beast Wars for me and Movie next. Beast Wars cause that when I started...the movie cause they have so very nice figures and I can still get some NOW!!!

The Movie 2007 was the best for me

i got no other tf toys except for the movie ones so no other choice but the movies...

As a whole, Cybertron is the way to go. It is THE kickass all-round line.

Second comes the movie line. Too many 'stay away' figures like Megatron and Swindle, BUT the absolutely awesome figures of Leader Prime, Ironhide, Ratchet, Arcee and Bumblebee (I don't have Bumblebee) make this line an Autobot goldmine.

I'm curious about Energon. My intuition tells me it would be 3rd place.

I will say classics because it combine the g1 era with modern design features.

i like classics starscream the classic colors and look are maintained and that's a modern g1 for me!

It's a toss up between G1 and Classics. Can't hate an original. And can't hate an update to the original. There both pure awsomeness!

Alternators, hands down the best!

Followed very closely by MP/20th Anni and Classics.

Alts/BT, Classics, and Cybertron. No question.

Classics and Beast Wars. In fact I'm selling almost everything else, except for my primes and megatron/galvatrons. The other lines are just "meh" to me.

FYI: I don't own any G1, my brother takes care of that end.

haha. movie swindle.... he's the pegwarmer of the line but he's still sold out....

Love G1 but my favorite line is Classics because it takes those great G1 figures and updates them to greatness!!Love 'em!

G1 always because that is where my inner child resides, I also like Alternators, but don't own any, so I would have to say movie after G1 (and reissues)

Hard hard question...

I'll answer for all the lines:

G1: Because it's the beginning and has all of the most fabulous characters in it (thanks to Bob Budiansky who took the care to create fabulous characters rather than boring 1-dimmensional blurbs)

G2: Because it is G1 but a smaller and more coherent cast, as well as a dalker tone to it.

BW: The animal modes are gorgeous, the robot modes freaky and poseable, the story inspirational - this is the series to own in the long run.

RID: You get a really nice cross section of TFs here; from beasts to vehicles that resemble real cars, and you get Fortress Maximus back so why not? Also there's the slapstick humor factor and the Poet Shark - it's a funny ride and will make you smile

ARMADA: I see no reason to collect this series when so many other promising series exist. Just grab all the Minicons and a few of the nicer characters... but the series? er...no.

Energon: See Above

CYBERTRON: Truly a great all-around series. You have authentic earth vehicles, beasts, sci-fi vehicles, a variety of classes, minicons - basically you have the best from each of the previous series rolled into one -- plus Primus.

Alternators/Binaltech: If you like replica cars and realistic/complex Transformations - Macross stuff - then this is the series for you.

Robotmasters: Not really enough to collect this series alone. Some great choice characters but...nah...

Titanium: No.

Movie: No.

Skids (yawn - sleepy)
