[Warcry]

I love that the designers embraced the wackiness with the BW stuff. I've always figured that the Kenner staff who were running the line didn't know enough about Transformers to know how they were "supposed" to be designed, which led to a lot of stuff that was wildly divergent from the Diaclone transformation copycatting that most of the later vehicular lines have indulged in.

If nothing else, Beast Hunters has shown us that a line of beast toys designed by "real" Transformers designers would be very, very boring.

Ouch, the Dinobot!

Yep. This is why I'm not transforming Torca. Don't want him to wind up looking like this.

What happened to poor Scorponok, too?

Scorpy's been broken since I was a kid. I think I could fix him, if I could find parts. But junker BW toys aren't nearly as common as broken G1s. Lousy modern toy design leading to figures that don't break as much...

Unless I run into a cheap broken Scorponok at a flea market or convention, I suspect that one day I'll just bite the bullet, buy an intact Scorpy who's missing his accessories and give him the missiles and bee from my childhood one.

Those Beast Wars figures just make me even more giddy for Generations Waspinator and Rhinox. I am wracked with anticipation.

Guess it's only fair that I share my "collection" then, yes?

In comparison with some of the pics I've seen thus far my lot seems small. I once tried to go the obsessive route and buy out ever figure I could find in the store during the Armada/Energon days, but that didn't really pan-out, (Still have them in storage, been looking to get rid of them for a while). For a while I swore off toys, but then the bug bit me sometime after RotF when I saw some their Scout class figures. I've taken some other pictures as my number expanded over the last couple of years, but these are more recent pics I took represent it's current state. Excuse the poor picture quality.

Armada and Energon, eh? I have a few from that range that I'm looking for. Shoot me a pm with a list.

And just to join in on the fun, here's 80% of my collection right now. The other 20% is in fancy glass display cases, but this picture is funnier.

Those shelves with stuff just piled on top of other stuff? That's what mine look like too.

I finished moving all my transformer into their new home, so I decide to take some picture.

It's not much of an army right now, but I'll get there, someday. But one thing for sure, I'll need to install some light into the cabinet if I want to take picture off it..

If you notice, it's currently being dominated by Arcee...





Still missing in my army is

TF Galaxy Force\Cybertron: Chromia \ Thunderblast
Generation: Minicon Assault Team Windsher (cant find it anywhere)
TF Universe: Blackarachnia
Botcon Flamewar (waiting for clearance sale on BBTS)

Probably not going to get because its too expensive or too rare

Botcon Spider-Arcee
TFCC 2014 Transmutate (never showed up in BBTS, too expensive in Ebay)
Botcon Strika (Not going to get the whole set just for one figure, nobody wiling to sell loose)
Botcon Elita One (saw it while visiting japan once, too expensive, so i have to choose between Transmetal 2 Blackarachnia and Botcon Elita One, i choose Blackarachnia)

[Denyer]

Possibly want to get Cybertron Override as well?

Possibly want to get Cybertron Override as well?

only for a decent price, Overide isn't a must have in my book because i liked Chromia\Thunderblast more, but i certainly wont mind having her in my army..

[calvin_0]

An update for showcasing my collection. will need to install lights on my 2nd cabinet.

I've been in my new house for a year and a half now, and the Transformers display in the study remains a work in progress. Still, it's a very satisfying work in progress...



I'll need to think about how to get Primus out. That would be perfection.

Yup - that's like the majority of my collection except mine is in a little cupboard by the spare water tank, and one of my cats has a habit of getting trapped in a corner behind the boxes with TFTM Leader Megatron...

Unicron turned to the left, arms out like a zombie and Primus in planet mode in the compartment next to it?

Not quite my thing, but the colours really do pop on cartoon-scheme releases like that, Magnus and Smokescreen.

I really love the cartoon accurate versions - the colours are pretty vibrant and, after all, that's how I remember the characters, along with comics.

Smokescreen's had a lot of negativity, but I think he's just ace!

[Denyer]

I caved on the dirt-cheap KOs of Smokescreen and Alert, so if they aren't imaginary and don't disintegrate or anything I'll find out...

Bumblebee looks tiny compares to everything else. Think I'm going to enjoy the gold version for that as much as anything. Doubtful it'll replace Bii on a shelf though.

[Knightdramon]

Like your pics, numbat---our display styles are very, very similar [ie, a couple of figures per shelf, focus on the individual rather than the group].

Will update with my pics this weekend. Though I frequently re-arrange them trying to make up current comics team ups

The official Red Alert looks great, but I figured one version of the mould was enough for me and I always wanted a Sideswipe as a kid... I do have two versions of the Datsun though, and soon to be three when blue Bluestreak arrives - it's a great mould and the different versions are sufficiently varied. I hate Prowl as a character though...

Yup, MP Bumblebee is tiny. But he's one of my favourites too - so well designed! Great fun! (The Spike in Exo-Suit is crap though.)

Yeah, I try not to have things too busy and do a bit of rotation. I do like displaying teams and groups sometimes though (e.g. Classics Coneheads, Classics-style Wreckers etc), but the styles aren't as acceptable to my wife so they don't tend to be out as much on display. Instead I tend to have some of them (or Prime or Movie line figures or, as is the case just now, Legends/Legion Seekers and Abominus) on my desk to play around with, on rotation.

[numbat]

With a bit of thinking I have managed to adjust the shelving and display to accommodate Primus as well now (I originally had him holding the severed Unicron head but it just didn't work, as there it was bright yellow while Unicron is standing right next to him in orange...). May need a bit of thought for poses and arrangements, but I think it works still without being overly cluttered.



I've also replaced the Legends/Legion Seekers and Abominus on my desk with Hybrid Style Galaxy Convoy (such a great figure!) and United Blurr (also very awesome - poses nicely on one foot mid-dash).

And as to the rest? Here they are in the cupboard by the water tank...
