Transformers megathread!

[Benomatic]

Do you collect Transformers?

What is your favourite era or incarnation?

Do you read the comics?

Favourite faction?

Favourite characters?

Everything Transformers related!

I have started to collect Masterpieces and 3rd party lines. Recently had the new oversized Megatron arrive. Looking at getting the 3rd Party Death's Head (Anubis) next.

Collection is growing steadily again. Still have all my G1 figures in storage.

Loving the Titans Return/Combiner wars/Power of the Primes line. Some very cool figures.

The Hatchette collection of Transformers comics is a godsend. Very cool collectors editions and certainly worth the money!

I always loved the Autobots as a child, now as an adult I certainly seem to lean towards Decepticons.

I always had an affinity for the purple and black colour schemes. Loved the insecticons, Skywarp, Astrotrain, Cyclonus. Shockwave always stood out as one of my favourites.

I had Transformers as a kid.

Owned a Optimus Prime large model that held Matchbox Cars. Had many Die-cast normal ones.

Favourite Transformers are Optimus, Starscream, and most of the Beast War variations.

My desk is a big pile of transformers at the moment.

Really need to get a display case.

Here's my desk from several months ago, there's heaps more now:

I really want that Ultra Magnus! Is he worth it? Heard some iffy reviews regarding joints and QC. I need to get my Optimus a trailer.

I have the KBB10 and MPP10 versions so may be one or the other, or both lol Prowl and Wheeljack are certainly on the list.

Decepticons

Starscream

The Megatron arc sounds familiar. Either after he was separated from Ratchet or Straxus clone fiasco.

[Tyranastus]

My favourite Transformers era is definitely the Michael Bay movies!


Now that I have reached my peak sarcasm for the day; I would say that my favourite Transformers era was definitely around the Beast Wars spin. I used to collect the toys, and absolutely loved the show at the time.

Favorite was G1 without a doubt.


Favorite was Optimus Prime. Used to favor Autobots.
Skywarp was my favorite after that, had the toy.

Now I favor deceptions my favorite now is Shockwave.

I don’t like Optimus Prime because he is more of bad guy now with executing others without much help. He’s a sadist not a hero.

Shockwave always appealed to me. His Masterpiece figure is really well made.

I miss good transformers toys, they seem to be getting simpler and simpler, all the while getting more expensive it seems.

I also really miss Zoids and making those models.

[BloodyAngel12]

Back in the day i had Grimlock and Blur but thats about it.

There are a load of 3rd party and Masterpiece figures that are amazing! The Omega Supreme and Jetfire are really well done!

[Deleted]

Loved them when I was a kid back in the late 80's and early 90's. The cartoon was actually so bad, but the toys were fun.
I remember owning Soundwave, Bumblebee and some random fighter jet of which I forgot the name.

Believe I gave them all away when I was reaching early teens.

I think I still have some in a box at my parent's house which reminds me that I have to sort all my stuff out and decide what to keep and toss. That's something I've been putting off.

He's pretty awesome, I've had no problem with joints or QC myself but of course YMMV as always. The negatives are that he's massive (subjective whether that's good or bad) due to being designed to carry MP cars in vehicle mode, and the lack of articulation (like, he's a brick - what you see there is about all you'll get). Still though, he's very impressive to look at and play with, and his transformation is surprisingly simple, fun and intuitive.

I srsly hope you're not 18+

Psssh, those are MP transformers, nobody under 18 should be handling them

Anyway, we're on a forum for a video game...

If you like the MP scale, it's actually an incredible time to be collecting. The third parties have massively stepped up their game and TT is putting out some amazing toys like the new MP Sunstreaker, Megatron and Grapple.

Legends scale is exploding with the 3Ps as well.

Seriously I don't know if there's ever been a better year for TF toys. Including in the 80s.

That's convinced me then! I love the blocky solid look of Ultra Magnus! He looks really robust!

The oversized Megatron is certainly worth investing in! It compliments Optimus mpp10 so well! Massive and really well detailed!

I don't mind the KOs, sometimes the KOs are better quality than the official molds.

Is that an OS of the TT MP Megatron? Or one of the 3Ps?

[draynay]

Shockwave is my favorite, I had that comic: Transformers ...ARE ALL DEAD.



I have collected them on and off, but somehow have managed self-control and not spent a lot recently. I think the only Masterpiece figure I have is Wheeljack, but I obviously wish I had them all. Prowl would be the next one I'd want, the price dissuades me somewhat, I guess its just high enough for my very limited self-control to manifest.

There was a line a number of years ago where they had Transformers that transformed into modern cars, I think I have a Silverstreak that transformed into a Subaru and a really nice Hound from that line, but I'm not sure where I misplaced them since my last move.

I think if I collected as much as I wanted, I would be happy with them, but poorer. My collecting money has been funneled into more of a Star Trek direction, for the most part. I would be all-or-nothing and my bank account is happy with the "nothing" but I yearn for more ridiculous toys.

beast wars ftw!
