Themed collections are cool, and collections themed on the awesome transformers main characters are even cooler.

Mine isn't that large because there are not that many moulds of him. But I really like my little Shockwave collection that I've got.

Inadvertently, I have a little collection of Optimus Prime going, but who doesn't? Since Optimus is going to be in every line and there typically is at least 2 versions of him, I would say your average collector has at least 5-10 Primes, if not more.

I also have a mini Smokescreen collection going, but again, I really didn't mean to, but it still's cool to have a Commemorative, Alt, and Cybertron Smokescreen together. It's fun to watch the development of the character over the years.

I've wanted to do a Prowl and Skywarp collection, but there are a few Prowl I'm not real fond of(RID, Armada) and any self-respecting Skywarp collection is going to have an MP Warp, and I'm not real eager to spend that amount of money on him.

I admire you sir. I only managed to get my first and only Megatron in September past with the arrival of the Classics Megs I got off eBay.

I hang my head in shame, at the fact that the only duplicate I have is 2 megatrons. That said, I do tend to avoid buying the same character more than once, since I like to keep a kind of almost continuity going with my characters, and duplicates make things a bit more difficult. The only duplicates I'll probably get are Legends class versions of characters I own in a larger form, or if a character I like gets re-released in a drastically different version.

I have over 100 Optimus Primes, and probably close to 50 Megatrons.

My pride and joy, and the culmination of over 20 years of loyalty. 18 Skywarps in perfect condition. The movie line let me down, but here's hoping for Animated Skywarp to make it 19!

Congrats on making that milestone. I don't have a specific character theme going on though, but I'm looking to start one.

Heh-heh, same here. I just like most of his releases- I have 33 now, including a few Robot Heroes, Burger King toys, etc. (Some may not count those, but I do.)

Aside from OP, I think my Megatron collection has become my 2nd-largest, at about 11, which is interesting bec. up until I bought movie Leader Meg, my only one was a Legends Cyb. version. Now I have movie Leader, Voyager ($13, had to buy him), Robot Replicas, Legends, and a few small ones like the tiny Christmas ornament, a "dangler", 3" Titanium, 3D Battle Card, etc, plus a G2 neon green tank Megs, Cybertron Leader (love that guy!), and Armada (buddy, can you spare a mini-con?).

Character-wise, I also have:
-all the movie Jazz releases (original, Final Battle, G1, Robot Replicas, Legends), plus a movie Dangler, and the Alt Meister w/ Jazz Reprolabels, a G1 reissue, and a G1-scheme Spychanger.
-movie Brawl in Leader, Deluxe, Legends, 3D battle Card, and Dangler
-Rodimus from Alternators, Classics, Energon, and 3D Battle Card

I also have the Robot Heroes and 3" Titaniums for most of the other major movie characters. Right now my collection is arranged by character, so all the same guys are grouped together regardless of series.

I don't have any dedicated character collection, but I've seen Netboy's OP Convoy collection (and some others) and it just floored me.

Check it out...
