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.

 

Incorporated the SCF/PVC. Enjoy!

 

I can dig it

 

Don't forget 'Asterisk'.

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

 

I would go with:

Cyb - Cybertron

Other then that ya.

 

BW10th - Beast wars 10th anniversary

 

Updated.

What's wrong with TIT?  

 

I usually use TGM for Targetmasters and TM for Transmetals. I've also seen Eng and UNI for Energon and Universe.

I'd also add...

AM for Action Masters
MC for Mini-cons
MM for Micromasters
WWI for War Within

 

for Armada, Energon, Cybertron, and Universe, I refer to them as TFA, TFE, TFC, and TFU

everything else I agree with but I think Classics could use a better one (I cant think of one myself)

 

TIT = best abbriviation we have. What other fandom gets to type "Big TIT Megatron is floppy" and actually not be joking?  



Others:

RIRFIB / RIBFIR
(RIRFIB BTW)

 

I think so too. I type "Class" myself.

 

YES! See, Cheebs knows what I'm talking about.

How, which do you like better, the big TITs or the small TITs?

 

I dunno. The little TITs are just so cute, and the big TITs can be too heavy and sag under their own weight. However, you can manipulate the big TITs into more positions and forms than the small TITs. So I gotta' go with the big TITs.



Whee!!! Again, I get to type all that and not be joking.  

 

I like my women like I like my die-cast figures...  

 

Lol. I could do this all day.

Hasbro gave Optimus Prime more TITs than the beasts. Seems to me it would be better if it was the other way around.

 

TFC: Transformers Collection (Japanese Bookstyle Re-Issues.)

 

OP for Optimus Prime

I see a lot of things like PMOP, 20th OP, LROP

 

Megs (megatron)
Galv (galvatron)
Op (optimus)
OpOp (Optimal Optimus)
BA (Black Arachnia)
PLZDIEKTHNx (a friendly request)
