This is hard for me. I know MP-1 mold is on my list because of the detail, accessories, gimmicks, size and weight. I think leader class brawl is on there too, for most of the same reasons. I favor the larger Transformers for some reason but am a sucker for highly poseable Transformers. From there it gets real tough, really fast. So which three do you guys hold high above the rest of your personal collection?

MP-01 Optimus, eHobby Orion Pax with a custom head, and Animated Jazz. If I could throw in a third party figure, I'd swap Jazz for Fansprojects Munitioner. It's the perfect Swindle!

Honorable mention: Botcon 2005 Deathsaurus. That bot makes anybody you put next to him look like his b!tch, I swear to Primus.

3? Why 3?

If I had to choose...

Masterpiece Grimlock (perfect representation of my favorite character)
Masterforce Overlord (awesome. Just awesome)
Kitbashed Omega Prime (I put him together differently for a more Prime-y look)

Honorable mentions : BotCon 2011 Stunticons and their Animated counterparts; War Within Titanium Grimlock

And zodconvoy I f**king WANT a 2005 Deathsaurus. I never knew I could want a figure as bad as I want that one.

To make it hard, get you thinking. It's easy to say I love my whole collection.

Oops, was thinking G1 for some reason. Don't throw anything! lol

1. G1 Bluestreak. My first Transformer, got it before the show even started.

2. MP-01 Optimus. Best damned version of him of all time and one of the best, if not the best Transformer of all time.

3... Not sure?

Music label Soundwave
Classics Megatron its weird but i dig the colors on him.
Classics prime (Voyager)

Its tough to pick only 3 out of almost 500. :HEADHURTS:

Mon Apr 16, 2012 6:57 pm

G1 Scorponok. One of my oldest Tf's. Cool size. Headmaster. The Claws!

G1 Ironhide with custom head. Arms are nice and poseable and the custom head really evokes his cartoon self while blending nicely with G1 Prowl and co.

Device Label Tigatron. Just love the colour scheme.

Honourable mentions:

G1 Prowl

Botcon Leozack

G1 Ultra Magnus

G1 Quake

Mega SCF Rodimus

Generations Thundercracker

Robotmasters Mirage. Cartoon accurate and fits nicely with the Diaclones.

Oversized Robotmasters Wrecker Hook.

Oversized Korean Bruticus. What all G1 combiners should have been!

Robotmasters Victory Leo.

Henkei Megatron.

Mon Apr 16, 2012 7:11 pm

Henkei Convoy
Henkei Megatron
...um, I'm not sure if I should say Classics Megatron or Optimus Prime here, because quite frankly I love em so much I just wish I could list every iteration of those molds! I could say Ultra Magnus, but he's wearing city commander armor right now so I don't know if that counts... but if it does I'll drop him in favor of Protector, or Colossus! If I can't pick the same mold or a third party item, then it becomes a tie between WFC Megatron and RtS G2 Optimus... although I am sitting on a Battle Tanker right now, so... yeah WFC Megs then 8-}

Nice! All Displayed? Or out of sight out of mind?

I'm not sure where I'm at but I'm pretty sure I'm over 200. Do you count a combiner like Bruticus as one? I'm just blown away. 500!? :BOWDOWN:

Mon Apr 16, 2012 8:35 pm

Oh, this one's gonna be easy for me.

MP-4 Convoy "Perfect Edition"
MP-1 is great but doesn't have the trailer!
MP-6 Megatron w/ Kreemzeek
I know ya'll hate this one, but it has possibly the most complex transformation of all TF's.
MP-9 Rodimus Convoy
Again, ya'll have loads of hate for him, but his vehicle modes are so awesome!!!

:KREMZEEK:

I can see that, was thinking of buying 3rd party trailer with roller and a few other accessories but the $120 price tag doesn't have me rushing.

Yeah, I have MP-5 but I just wish his P38 mode was just a little smaller.

I have the Hasbro Masterpiece Rodimus and he might be in my top 10 but he's a pain in my &@#$,. Nonetheless nice pick.

Tough choice, just 3.

For me, a perfect Transformers is great looking and fun to play with. It dosent need to be expensive or exclusive to be special.

My first choice is a no brainer. If you know me, you already guessed: God Ginrai from the G1 Japanese series Masterforce.
He's huge and there's so much you can do with this set! Sure, he's a brick and a partformers, but he's my #1 for ever and ever. Even if it's just a reissue. I could apply the stickers myself and that was a great joy in itself.

My second choice is Masterpiece Starscream, G1 color and the Ghost version. I do own MP-01 (last shot) Optimus Prime, but his vehicle mode is pure fail. I also own MP Rodimus, but he's fristrating. However, MP Starscream is hot in all modes and quite fun to transform. He also feel sturdy in my hands and I never fear to break him. The hip kibble fault is easely forgiven by just unplugging them and plugging them on the legs. I could buy the MP-11 retool of Starscream but 150$ + shipping is an obscene ammount to pay for a minor mod. Anyway, I love MP Screamers enough to have spendt more than 100$ to display them properly.

My 3rd may surprise you.
It's Marvel Crossover Warmachine, car version. Before him, it was Ironman Car version. However, the new Warmachine have a far more superior paintjob plus added glow-in-the-dark gimmicks! He's of a decent size, have a fun transformation, and is very awesome looking overall. He's a lot of fun to fiddle with! I bought one to open and another to keep sealed because of a buy-one-get-the-other-at-50%-off promo. The funny thing is there was a mistake at the register and Québec laws tell that in case of a screw-up on the price at the register, you have 10$ off the supposed lower price (if the thing ios worth 10$ or less, it's free). So, because of that, my first Warmachine cost me 23$ Total, the second one, just 2$! Anyway, even at full Pprice, Marvel Crossover Warmachine is perfect in every ways.

If I could bring in a 4th and a 5th, I'll chose HftD Leader Starscream and Animated Voyager Bulkhead. They are both great to look at and great to play with.

thanks but 500 is nothing compared to other people on here. I'm sure some people are well over the 1000 mark, they have been collecting longer than me. but the combined form of the individual robots i don't count as one, i count individual robots only. all displayed.

Armada Jetfire

One of my favorite figures from the Armada line, mostly because he can house alot of weaponry. More of a niche thing for me, but I just dig it.

Beast Wars Tigerhawk

Big, menacing, goofy. Just a large figure that brings me back to the BW days and something that's engineered quite well. Love the colors and it's uniqueness.

Animated Blurr

Sleek figure with phenomenl engineering.

I just got THS-02 and he is rapidly climbing toward the top of my list! Just an unbelievable figure. Sadly, I can't find THS-02B for any less than Double what I paid for THS-02.
