I have US$100.00

Got an eye on two possible prospects:

1. MOC Hero Optimus Prime G2 US$ 100.00

2. Mint(allegedly) loose no box, complete accessories Streetwise,Groove and First Aid US$ 60.00

Which should I get :BANG_HEAD:

G2 Hero Prime. They don't come around too often, especially MOC.

The Protectobots aren't too rare to find and $100 seems a lot for three of them. I'd wait for a better opportunity on those.

Wow... that's a VERY easy choice: MOC Combat Hero Optimus Prime all the way.
Even at $60 for all three (complete & 'mint') Protectobots, you are probably paying over their true value. Loose, they aren't hard to find at about half of this price, unless you want the gold chest Groove and metal chest First Aid.
Combat Hero OP is perhaps not the prettiest Prime out there, but he's good enough in his own right, and, like Amelie mentions, he's not the most common of Transformers, especially MOC!
I'm so meta, even this acronym...

Not to be a debbie downer, but 100 bucks for hero Prime is way out of wack, IMHO. It's not that great of a figure, and you can get a loose one off of ebay for pretty cheap. Same with the protectobots. Unless you are serious about the MOSC-ness of it, I say pass on both and get something better, or put the money aside and save up for a better toy.

Just remember, that 100 bucks could be Generations Jazz, Tracks, Perceptor, Wreck-gar, Scourge, Grapple, Windcharger and possibly Lugnut, depending on where you shop.
Check out my sales thread, plenty of Generations, and Reveal the Shield figures for sale!!

You have a point there "B". Btw, the Protectobots are loose (but based on the pics offered (looks mint) and the price includes shipping.Same with the G2 Hero Prime, includes shipping.

I can only get either one (last disposable income for the year)

As a Combiner collector, I can tell you that $20 each for a complete Blades, Groove and First Aid is a good price. Normally, they sell for about $25 each, and that's even if they're in rough shape.

If you can guarantee the fact that the Protectobots are in a condition that meets your standards, then you should feel comfortable spending those $60 on them. Plus, you'd still have some cash left over for Streetwise.
