God I love Transformers!! Before them, nobody else ever tried to combine action figures and vehicles quite like Hasbro did except for Takara/Tomy, who licensed the designs and likenesses of their characters to them for use in the toylines.
I'm personally a fan of the Legend class figures (3-inch figures) because they absolutely amaze me with what they can do for the size that they are. Not to mention the price tag doesn't even sting at $4.99 a pop...ROTF Prime, Movie 2007 Bumblebee, and Universe Megatron are my favorites. In all, I have eight so far.
Autobot Jazz from the Universe Spy Changers Line.
Megatron from the Transformers Universe Classics Line.
Optimus Prime from the Revenge Of The Fallen Line.
I have most of the characters I want now but I'm sure I'll probably buy more...that and I also have a G.I. Joe Collection to finish. I still want The Baroness, Zartan, Blowtorch, Gung-Ho, and Ninja Force Snake Eyes from 1993. The first four figures I mentioned are from the 25th anniversary line which I sadly believe has been discontinued in lieu of the Rise Of Cobra movie line which I am not interested in. Stupid move, Hasbro. I still need four figures from that line!!
Anyway, I love collecting toys and I probably won't stop until that special someone comes along and tells me to stop or she starts buying them for my birthday and Christmas.
In addition to Joes and Bots, I've also been collecting Star Wars figures since I was 11. I've mostly been done with this collection for a while but if I ever see another Star Wars figure that actually strikes my fancy I may have to buy it. Especially if the figure is another Boba Fett.
Too bad Hasbro and Lucasfilm have run that fucking godawful Clone Wars franchise into the ground and kinda sullied the Star Wars name. Grrr...I've been a fan for 12 years and I'm not about to stop. I can't wait for the Live Action TV series...Tangent City!! LOL!! TTYGL!!Are you sure you want to delete this post? Yes | No - 5 years 4 months ago

Honestly, i HATE legends class. They're really just the poorman's transformers. I find more joy in the Deluxe and up, like Classics Mirage, or at least the one i got which was Movie 07 (Gobots tribute) Fracture 
and more recently i got skids and mudflap during a target sale, hard to transform but they still look awesome...and I cant stop loving my Cybertron Leader Class Optimus Prime:
and the Mega Class RiD Megatron i got on ebay at one time:
damn thing changes into TEN things (US version does anywway, even before they released Galvatron)
and the Leader Class Animated Bulkhead is also cool.
i think i posted too much...Are you sure you want to delete this post? Yes | No - 5 years 4 months ago

I'm satisfied with Legend figures for the most part but I'm planning on buying at least deluxe versions of Prime and Starscream from the classic lines when I have the money. There is a Starscream on Amazon that I like that is only $12.99. I will admit that the Cybertron Optimus Prime is pretty mint though. It's called work and paying bills, my friend. Once in a while if I have an extra $10-20 then I can spend it on fun stuff. Cigarettes, alcohol, video games, movies, music, and retro junk. That's what I spend all my fun money on.
OK, correction, the Starscream I want is now $16.99 but I'm still planning on buying him when I have the money.
shuddup i have a job! im gonna telling my mommy and daddy on you and theyll show you what for!

Oh yeah!! I'm a new Transformers fan alright. The Legends figures rule but like I said before I still want at least a deluxe class Starscream and Optimus Prime. Maybe Megatron too...lol
I also love the movies especially the classic 1986 animated film based on the G1 line. As for the Michael Bay movies the first one is better than the second one even though I like them both. The only thing I don't like about the second movie is Mudflap and Skids...argh!! And on the whole, the only thing that annoys me about both movies is that in the heat of battle its hard to tell what the hell you're looking at...lol

I went to Toys R Us again today and picked up these guys: 
A Re-deco of the 2007 Movie Legends class figure. I really like this one and it is rather screen accurate in my opinion for a Legends class figure. The transformation of this figure is one of the easiest by far along with Brawl and Ratchet. Pretty much all you have to do is click the legs together, fold the arms back, and press the head down.
The difference between this figure and the 2007 one is that the 2007 one was decorated in the movie's colors of mostly black with silver accents and the new figure is evocative of the original G1 color scheme done up in a nice red, bronze, and dark brown.
Ironhide rounds out my Autobot line-up and now if I really wanted to, I could make a stop motion movie of the Autobots introduction from the first film. Ironhide rocks.
Grindor is the third re-deco (original, Desert, and now Grindor) of the Legends class figure of Blackout from the first movie. It's actually kind of funny that I bought this figure on the same day as Enforcer Ironhide because they were released together in an AllSpark Battles 2-Pack a year ago. I love the color scheme overall (kind of a light periwinkle blue) and the camo though kind of useless (whoever heard of blue camo outside of the Street Fighter movie??) is a nice touch. In contrast to Ironhide, Grindor is one of the most complex transformations for a figure of this scale since the new ROTF Legends Optimus Prime. I don't mind the complexity of his transformation and I actually enjoy doing his figure's because besides Prime, it's the only other challenging figure.
Anyway...Good heavens!! Toys R Us has everything Transformers related right now!!
I think I'm almost all set with my Transformers collection even though I'm kinda still hunting for Bonecrusher...Are you sure you want to delete this post? Yes | No - 5 years 4 months ago

I'm an old school fan that just collects the g1 toys and beast wars. I'm in the process of getting the entire 1985 line on youtube by tomorrow.
That's pretty cool! I might have to do the same if I can find a decent copy...lol
Ok...so I found a shitty copy somewhere online and decided I'll just settle for it for now. A shitty copy is better than nothing if you really want to watch a film.

It is finished... 
Yesterday I went back to the Family Dollar where I found my Ratchet and Brawl two pack and I bought the last two figures I needed for my Legends Transformer collection, Jazz and Bonecrusher. They too were in a convenient and affordable $5 two pack. Though I'm done collecting the Legends figures I want, that isn't to say I won't buy any more Transformers. Personally, I want to get my hands on a Transformers Universe Deluxe Optimus Prime and a Transformers Universe Deluxe Starscream, seeing as they are my favorite characters from each Transformer faction. These figures are nice looking and highly detailed and I would love to own a couple of them.

This guy is fucking slick!! Too bad he is upwards of $100-$300 anywhere you look online...still a very cool and unique Prime.
We need a Universe 2.0 remake.Are you sure you want to delete this post? Yes | No
