Counting your collection

BustaJesse · 12-09-2007, 11:39 AM

How do you count your collection?

Do Headmasters/Targetmasters count as 1 or 2 figures ?

Would a Predaking be 5 or 6?

Do minicons who are a part of the figure count (Armada Overload)?

I'm just curious. For example, if someones collection consisted of 10 Headmasters would their collection count be 20?

for me, if a figure has it's own name I'll count it as one.

Combiners counts as 5 trasformers for me.

I don't count my collection. Too much work. But if I did, Headmasters and targetmasters would count as 1, Predaking would be only his 5 members, Minicons would count separate from their owners.

If it can function as an independent figure and has a name, then I count it as one. For instance, Headmasters I only count as one because the toy has no robot mode without it's head figure, and Pretenders I count as one because the shell and robot are parts of the same character. Targetmasters on the other hand I count separately as robot and gun function apart from each other. There are a few exceptions, Armada Overload I still count as two despite the Headmaster effect because it's identified as a Minicon.

Personally, I count each individual bot. The two combiners that I have add up to be a total of 10 bots (5 for each combiner). If I had a headmaster, I would count it as 2.

I count them based off how they were purchased. Pretty much everything on the instruction sheet is one. (except combiners)
Minicon teams = 1
Big fig w/ Minicon = 1
Combiner = # members
HM/TM = 1

Head/Targetmasters - 1
Combiners - number of individual 'bots (so Predaking = 5, Devastator = 6, and so on)
Minicons - 3 per team, but counted in with any larger TF they come with

If it transforms from one mode to another and has an individual identity, I count it. So yes, I count Minicons, Head-/Target-/Powermaster partners, and multi-pack figures individually (although on my master list I have them down as something like "Chromedome with Stylor" or "Hot Shot with Jolt").

I count combiner components, but not the complete gestalt.

I also count non-Transforming official TF products (like decoys, or - if I had any - Action Masters).

That is my line of thinking too Draven. Thanks guys, I thought it was interesting to think about, I guess it all comes down to personal opinion. I count Wheelie as -1.
