The Energon Pub

Some of us have dreams when it comes to toy collecting. Complete a collection of variant minibots, own a particular sub-line of pre-Transformers, have a graded sealed collection of G1 across a few years of release or a run of Japanese exclusive Transformers, those are serious ambitions but to some reasonable degree they are – according to and as defined by our experts – conceivable. But what about those special types of collector who want what came before the toys, and those that want everything that came since?

I asked a number of well-known experts in their field of Transformers collecting how conceivable they felt certain lofty goals were to achieve. I did this in order to gauge just how much of a task it would be to complete a specific type of collection. This week, Ras, David Duca, Matt Burke and Lewis M Brooks III were quizzed on goals within the world of prototype collecting and being a “completionist”. We’ve already looked at AFA MISB G1 Transformers, Japanese Transformers, minibots and pre-Transformers. Our experts’ answers are as fascinating and insightful as you would expect from such esteemed gentlemen.
