    Probably Jumpstarters. Funnily enough I actually just picked Topspin up from a car boot sale for 10p.
    I might've said Optimus, but even though he's had a lot of reissues since, was he really that common back in the G1 days?

    I wonder how common Bumblebee was back then...

    I didn't see Constructicons mentioned (edit: rereading, I see them above). Along with the Jumpstarters and Insecticons, these year 2 toys were the height of Transformer mass production. Back when I started my flea marketing (late 90's), you would see these all over the place in quarter boxes.

    Jumpstarters are probably the most obvious because they are such durable toys.
