The Energon Pub

Someone in another thread mentioned they only collect the must-haves of each line. I think that's interesting, WHAT ARE THE MUST-HAVES OF EACH LINE?

I am thinking there are usually a few must-haves, but let's narrow it down to 2 characters in each line, either autobot or decepticon. This way you have to really choose the better of the figures, not a lot of 5.

I'll start with my own list:

G1
Optimus Prime
Soundwave

2010 (movie toys)
Hot Rod
Predaking

HEADMASTERS
Fortress Maximus
Six Shot

MASTERFORCE
Dreadwing (combined jets)
Powermaster Optiimus Prime

GENERATION 2

MASTERPIECE

ALTERNATORS

ENERGON

TITANIUM

CLASSICS

Leader Optimus Prime

WOW After making this list, I realize it is not easy to do this... you have to make more than 2 must-haves in any given line. And I'm not sure if there ARE any must-haves in Victory! HA !

I'll just do that lines that I've collected. If this is some sort of game where I lose because I didn't do all the lines then this game is crap and I hate it and you.

G1
Blaster
Optimus Prime

Alts.
Broadblaster
Battle Ravage

10th Anni. Beast Wars
Waspinator
Rhinox

2007 Movie
Leader Optimus Prime
Leader Brawl

Cybertron
Cybertron Primus
Downshift

Robot Heroes
ALL OF THEM!

I'm too drunk to think of other lines.

Supreme Cheetor? Are you kidding?

Really? Makes me glad I had one! If only i could find it...

Beast wars
optimal optimus (lots a modes, and even Megatron liked it, remeber the end in Beast Machines?)
Silverbolt-he was very rare and popular when i went looking for it.


RID
Scourge( the first time i saw him, i was like I'm getting the figure)

2007 Movie
Jazz- do i need to explain why?
'08 bumblebee ( not the hype, it's actually a good figure!)
All leader classes (optimus, brawl, megs, who ever else they might make) i just like the way they are made

and in the future, if he's even in the sequel probably ultra magnus

My turn:

Beast wars
TM tarantulas

RID

Megs

Armada

Jetfire

Energon

Landmine

Cybertron
