e-Hobby question

This goes out to all G1 collectors who have any e-Hobby transformers in their collection
I already have anime galvatron and the insecticon clone army in my collection and I'd like to get more to fill the ranks a little. So, which ones in your opinions are worth getting and which ones should be left elsewhere?

I've got the Ghost and Black Starsream. Pick them up if you can . These are the best Starscream variants ever...ever!
I've also got the Dirge, but I think i's a little over priced most of the time as you should be able to pick up a G1 for a lot less. I'm also not sure if the clear Hot Rod is e-hobby, but I got one misb awhile back for pretty cheap and I think that's nice too.

if you have the money for them I would go with:
ghost starscream
black starscream
amine astrotrain
twincast(blaster recolor)
sunstorm
and the minibot repaints
but all of these are expensive and hard to find but have fun trying!

I ordered twincast from xybertoys.
I was also looking into:
Demitus (junkion hound)
Overcharge
Magnificus
Orion Pax and Dion
Cobalt Sentries
Sunstorm
Hauler
Deep Cover and Clampdown
Road Rage and Crosscut

I actually have all of those, if you like the molds, they are cool, but if you hate repaints, not so cool.
That would be a fairly expensive haul btw.
You should also throw in black and clear Hot Rod, and yellow Sideswipe (Tigertrack). Not sure if they were E-hobby, but they are special enough.

I have Sunstorm, Junkion Hound, Overcharge (I love the irony in that name), and the Cobalts. Honestly, I think Sunstorm's the only one worth keeping.

At one point I owned:
Deepcover
Clampdown
Detritus
Insecticon Clones
Cobalt Security Team
Twincast.
I've since shrunk my collection and only kept Twincast and the cassette team - but out of the whole series I'd recommend Magnificus. He was the Black Perceptor re-issue and looked gorgeous.
Other contenders would be Megaplex (Megatron) or the minibot set.

Definitely get Magnificus, he rocks, and he comes with Ga'Mede who also rocks.

The cobalt sentry team are my favourite.
Toon acurate Bluesteak is great too.
Detritus and Clampdown are OK but not really that special.
Oh and IMO the Robotmasters seekers are great too, although I know a lot of people don't like them.

Might I also suggest the all chrome Bluestreak, and the all 'gold' plated Jazz?
They are fun... I have Megaplex too, but if you have the Megatron re-issue, Megaplex not really needed.
Sunstorm is the sweetness though!

I second the e-hobby RM seekers. Skywarp and Thundercraker are great additions to anyones collection and in my opinion are better then the classics moulds.

I love Overcharge.
I never put the allegiance stickers on him.
He's my only free-agent.
Oh, and good luck finding Twincast. No, seriously, because without a pile of money, you won't.

Ironically theres a shop here in Toronto that can't get rid of them. I think they are down to $50 Can.

But then i bought them. They rule.
No idea what the rest of them are like, needless to say ill be getting the cobalt sentry cassettes as soon as I can dig out the recipies for cardboard so i can still eat.

Unlike the regular reissue, the ehobby ones, being limited, do nothing but get more expensive with age.
