Alright, I was thinking that with the huge variety of TF lines out there, it might be a good idea to catalogue the various names... particularly since Cybertron and Classics are out... So, let's start from the beginning TF - Transformers G1 - Generation 1 G2 - Generation 2
HM - Headmasters
TM - Targetmasters
AM - Action Masters
MM - Micromasters
PM - Powermasters
MF - Masterforce
V - Victory
MW - Machine Wars BW - Beast Wars
BW2 - Beast Wars 2 BW Neo - Beast Wars Neo BW Metals - Beast Wars Metals
TM - Transmetals
TM2 - Transmetals 2 BM - Beast Machines
BWR - Beast Wars Returns
RiD - Robots in Disguise
CR - Car Robots
Arm - Armada
ML - Micron Legend
E - Energon
SL - Superlink Cyb - Cybertron
GF - Galaxy Force
CL - Classics
Alt - Alternators
BT - Binal Tech
BTA - Binal Tech Asterick
U - Universe
TIT - Titanium
HoC - Heroes of Cybertron
LoC Legends of Cybertron
MP - Masterpiece
WST - World's Smallest Transformers
KO - Knockoff
RM - Robot Masters
CS - Commemorative Series
THS - (Hybrid convoys) whatever this spells out to I have no idea
KP - Kiss Players
SCF/PVC - those things that don't transform... you know what I mean
BWX - Beast Wars 10th Anniversary
MC - Minicons
WWI - War Within (also sometimes known as TWW for the anally retentive)
Those are all the ones that come to mind. Any others?
Oh, and I'm well aware that I put TM for Targetmasters and Transmetals... sue me

| Nah, I think that's ok - you can usually which is being implied from the context in which it is used anyway. THS is 'Takara Hybrid Style', to the best of my knowledge. And BTA is 'Binaltech Asterisk'.
Unless you start adding things like TFTM, FFoD, CoTP, and MTMTE, I think that's a pretty complete list of the most commonly used acronyms.
There's also SCF for the pvc figs, which I think is 'Super Collection Figure' or something. Others can correct if that's not right. Not used very often, as I think most of us just say 'pvc'. And TFC I've seen for the bookstyle reissues, but no idea if that's commonly used or not. | |

'Astrix' sounds like something you'd get in Vegas.  | |

As for Beast Wars 10th Anniversary, I much prefer going Roman and abbreviating it BWX | What's wrong with TIT?

I'd also add...
AM for Action Masters
MC for Mini-cons
MM for Micromasters
WWI for War Within Grammatically Editing Art since 2000! | |
