Getting there. It's mostly a want list but I can get overly excited if I want to.

I don't have that many fembots but more are always welcome!

I was also wishing the recent TR Arcee (with Leonad lol) was Combiner-compatible....her, Moonracer, Elita-1, Novastar, and TBD would be a great Combiner or Super-Suit of the Primes for Elita-1.

EDIT:
I gotta say Metalhawk is my favorite Prime Master of wave1 and possibly wave2 -- but Skullgrin is kinda adorable.

Not counting Minicons:

BW Airazor
BW Transmetal Airazor
BW Blackarachnia
BW Transmetal Blackarachnia
BM Blackarachnia
Energon Arcee
Cybertron Override
Universe(?) Fracture
Animated Blackarachnia
Animated Arcee
Prime Arcee
Prime Airachnid
R.I.D.2 Strongarm
T-30 Arcee
T-30 Chromia
T-30 Windblade
CW Torchbearers
TR Windblade
TR Nautica
PotP Slash

Plus 3rd party versions of Glyph, Arcee, Elita-1, and Solus Prime.

I had movie Fembots too, but I've sold at least half of my movie figures now.

Eventually I want to get Cybertron Thunderblast, some version of Strika (I wish they'd retooled CW Onslaught), and of course PotP Moonracer and Novastar. Still on the fence about PotP Elita-1. Edit: Want a Slipstream too.

Alternatively, you could have told her he was $9.98, and just stuck one of the Battletrap figures under your shirt. Would have been the same difference, right?

I've got a prediction for the later part of the Power of the Primes line. We're all hoping for and anticipating more Season 2 Female Autobots to complete the Elita One combiner. We've got Elita One as the torso and Moonracer and Firestar as two limbs. That's two more limbs to go, but three characters left to choose from: Greenlight, Lancer, and Chromia. We already have a Generations Chromia figure from Thrilling 30 several years ago. It would make the most sense to make Greenlight and Lancer the other two limbs. However, that still kind of leaves Chromia out of the mix, making the team one iconic member short. I can see her as a Legends scale "sixth member", a la the new Slash for the Dinobots. She may not combine with her teammates as was the trend for combiner teams during Combiner Wars, but she'd still be available to display with the others if desired. I could see a redeco and retool of CW Groove work, or Hasbro could surprise us with a brand new mold altogether.

I'd go with Afterburner.

In terms of fembots, the only ones I have in my primary display collection are Thrilling 30 Arcee and Chromia, and Takara Legends Blackarachnia. I also have a Prime Deluxe Airachnid which I don't particularly want any more, but I doubt I could ever sell her because of how unpopular a figure she is. The only upcoming fembot I'm definitely going to buy is Elita-1, while Moonracer and Novastar are still on my maybe pile.
As I mentioned in an earlier post, I intend to get Unite Warriors Megatronia fairly soon. I don't like Victorion or the Torchbearers all that much, Takara's Waifucons (as I like to call them) stand out more to me as characters.

I like having plenty of ladies in my collection. I've got Legends Arcee, Prime Arcee (standing in as Chromia, she'll be getting a new head soon), Animated Blackarachnia and the Megatronia team thus far. I do have an Animated Arcee too but she's awaiting customization into a Minerva.

I will say, I'm not too happy with the latest direction of "Barely retool a male character and call it a female" they've been doing, but it has been getting better. Elita 1 looks pretty OK for a retool. Though I am disappointed that Warden's first original female mold, Moonracer, is as flawed as it is. I'll probably still buy her but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't underwhelmed by pictures of her.

Just curious, but does that mean there was a time when you wanted that figure?

Anyways, not to salten the wound but the way I got her last year was someone gave her away to me if I bought a few other things from them.

I am in it for the toy designs and puzzle aspect so I never really cared much for a TF's gender.

For all those that care though, I will be publishing a list soon of top 5 female TF toys. And I tried to diversify it so that it is not just a bunch of Arcee figures while still making sure the figures on there were really good.
