    I was just thinking about this the other day. I was looking through my collection, both the nice, complete figures and the junkers, and I realized that I have a LOT of Beast Wars Dinobots. Most of them are the original, but I have a few of the repaints as well. Most people hate that mold because of its inaccuracies to the TV show model, but for some reason I can't get enough of it. If I see an old, neglected junker going for cheap on ebay or in the B/S/T threads, I snatch it up. It's like my crack.

    So, what is that one Transformers mold you can't seem to get enough of?

    I really like the legends wheelie mold - have all three of them (Orange Hasbro, yellow Takara and black shadow striker... who am I kidding, that's nemesis wheelie!)

    The classics seeker mold I'm sure has hooks in everyone. Heck, I'm still planning to get G2 Starscream.

    I think another one has to be the Universe Inferno mold. I only own Pyro at the moment, but I'm always looking for an Inferno. I've got the new red deco Hot Spot on the way to make into G2 Hot Spot.

    The ROTF/HFTD Bludgeon also deserves a mention. I got both him and Banzaitron originally, and then added my favorite - G2 Megatron. Overlord is okay... but I'm not paying Botcon prices for that one.

    Generations Wheeljack. But oddly, not really fond of the Turbo Tracks variation. The TFCC Runamuck and Runabout decos are especially sexy.

    Easy. MP-10. Love the transformation. Retains just enough of the G1 transformation to remind me of Optimus as a kid, but sophisticated enough to really nail it as a Masterpiece figure.

    MP-10 - Hasbro and TT, MP-10B, BAPE, EVA, YOTH. Like a giant money suck that I can't get enough of! They could release this in any color and I would immediately want it.

    Animated and rotf lockdown. Have all us releases. If i ever see the japanese and various con versions for good prices they will be mine.

    Also, never had an inferno mold for years, then i found a universe inferno for $21 total, so i got him. Now i want them all! Just jumped in on the protectobot 2-pack for $13 and some change on amazon

    Generations Springer. Love it. Possibly my favourite mould ever. Sandstorm and Rodimus from the same one? Spectacular.

    I really like the ROTF Leader Prime mold. It's super detailed, looks like the movie prime, and love the difficulty in transformation.

    I also like the Classics Prime and Generations Springer molds.

    Other than the Seeker mold, I'd say the. Universe Inferno mold. I have Inferno, Grapple, Pyro, Hot Spot, Artfire, and "Hosehead" (Asia Kids Day Hot Spot).

    I had to get all of the movie plane drones. I really like them. I hoped maybe they would make a few more down the road, but no.

    Another vote for generations springer. If cloud rodimus wasn't so expensive I'd be happy to take that one as well

    Classics Prime and its many, many derivatives: Henkei, United, Nemesis, Shattered Glass, Evolutions, Ultra Magnus, the other Ultra Magnus, the many, many KOs, etc, etc.

    Seconded. Raise the Botcon set to the top of your priority list! They are incredibly awesome.
