What Transformer in your collection to you prize the most and why? Is it one you had been seeking for years? Is is a favorite character? Is it your first?

Mine, is my first.


That set holds more value to me than I could possibly describe. No gift has ever changed my life half as much as it did.

300th post WOOT!

Masterpiece Optimus Prime. Because... it's Prime!

This view is subject to change if Classics Sideswipe and Sunstreaker are sufficiently awesome.

09 BB I luv him sooo much

G2 Optimus Prime, my first!

My MP Starscream.

In a few weeks it'll be my movie accurate (I hope) Bonecrusher. I'm modding him as we speak, hopefully I'll get onto painting soon. Even though he's my first attempt at anything more than a simple paint touch up I think he could turn out great & can't wait to have him as my most precious (but non transformable) 'former...

You'll have to let me know when that's done.

Yur, I'll post in the Kitbash forum with some nice pictures of him lunging at Revoltech Prime. Me not have movie Prime yet

I'd have to say... Devastator! Never had a complete one as a child.

right now its my Omega Prime!! but once my Supreme Starscream or my Black Unicron arrives, well who knows!!

A battered, loose and faded G1 Soundwave that my dad bought for me for my birthday when I was little. It even has about half a Buzzsaw left inhis chest. It is one of two toys that have survived with me to this day. The other is a Clash of the Titans Perseus fig.

Classics Starscream. That is the figure that got me into collecting Transformers now.

Leader Class Cybertron Optimus Prime. Where I got my name from. It also has Sentimental Value. I got for a Christmas Present from my Mom in 2005.

soundwave...wasn't my first transformer (that was starscream) but soundwave was the at the top of the christmas list that year and i remember it as one of the longest nights ever.

G2 Jetfire.

It was the first ever transformer I bought myself, I saved up a good two weeks for it. I still own him and he's as awesome since he left his packaging. he's in need of his tailfins and a missle though so if anyone can help me out

Gah i have alot of "precious" Transformers.

Beast Wars Megatron VS Optimus Primal ( gator & bat)
Powermaster Prime
R.I.D. Bruticus
Optimal Optimus
Rampage ( beast Wars)
Hubcap ( first ever Tf toy from Machine Wars)
Transmetal2 Megatron
Transmetal2 Tigerhawk


all for reasons that consist of: Fav toy, Fav character from the show or some sentimental value.

My 3 most precious Treansformers are my SixShot that I got as a kid...he's a lil rough around the edges, but that just gives him character.

The G1 Megatron that got me back into collecting.

And my recently complete G1 Jetfire...that's my grail.

mine would be BW depth charge, favorite character from the series.

G1 Grimlock or G1 Soundwave.

Probably G1 Prowl, G1 Optimus as well.

Cybertron Thunderblast, because I wanted her forever and finally got her for $35 on Amazon.

My almost mint complete G1 Metroplex. I'll never find one like this ever again and i don't think it will ever be re-issued.

My first ever transformer was a G1 Snapdragon but to be honest it was never really special to me, never even transformed it correctly for as long as i had it. As a kid I traded it away for a batman figure lol (that batman was ace!).

only when I started collecting again and found a pic of snapdragon in robot mode, i was like "oh... thats what its supposed to look like".

Fortress maximus.

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

a complete, mint-in-box Overlord! It survived my childhood better than any of my other transformers as it was about the last transformer I got before going back to collecting as an adult. I was 11, and it was the last big present Santa left me. In those days it seemed like no one else was still into transformers. I thought I was the only one.

That's precious, as in my most valuable. Those sell for quite a tidy sum these days.

Other than that, I have a few more recent acquisitions that I'm very fond of. A vintage bumblebee: beats my reissue keyring bumblebee on plastic quality and crispness of detail. Omnibot Downshift: such a great design and has a great feel to it -among the best g1 cars IMO.

Modern transformers: Masterpiece Prime, Classics Mirage, Barricade, and Spyshot 6.

Mine is my MP Prime. Simply because he is awesome, and my wife bought it for me for my birthday.
