    Will be the first (and probably only) complete line for me. Im not getting supreme Prime, or any activators battle bumpers or toys that don't transform, but ALL deluxes, voyagers, leaders and Omega Supreme will be mine. I would also like if we got some animated scouts. I like scout class figures.

    False. I'm on a budget, and with the prices around here, I'm not buying the Leaders.

    this line seems to be really good. I just got my first "crack" figures and I am really impressed. I probably won't buy duplicates of figures but might indulge in some repaints.

    I feel like if I bought one, I'd have to buy them all. Simply because they wouldnt look good with older figures, but would look great as one big group on their own shelf. Which is why I'm trying to avoid buying any :lol

    So far it looks like I'm gonna have the autobot earth team in one form or another. Ratchet was on my maybe list, but I found one and bought it out of pity since he warms shelves with BA.

    That's going to be a FALSE for me. I make a point of lightly joking about my dislike for TFA, and while I'm not full of nerdrage, I don't plan to purchase any of it. It's the right step for the franchise (new and different) and I'm certain it's going to sell like water in the desert, but it's the first time in 25 years I've looked at Transformers and said, "This is awful".

    My friend's kids (6 and 9) think it's the greatest thing in the world, so check-plus to Hasbro on snagging the target demographic; and frankly, I'm delighted - if surprised - that the adult fanbase is receiving it so favorably as well.

    Disclaimer: I reserve the right to disavow my TFA-boycott if I get one of them in my hands and it turns out to be awesome. :lol

    Starting out, it was going to be a TRUE for me. But, realistically, some of the line I'm just going to pass on; Supreme OP, the Bumper Battlers, I may pick up an Activator or 2, but I'll be sticking to what I see as the main part of the line (Deluxes, Voyager and Leaders).

    And like Caesar121 said, I'd like to see some Scout class figures (tho I think the Activators are filling that role in TFA).

    False, and Voyager Megatron is a definite skip.

    I'm only buying toys that appear on the show and no repaints.

    A big fat False.

    I am not a fan of the wretched animated show, or the characters involved, but I've played with a lot of them that my friends imported from Ebay, so I know the line is quality...even so, I'm only buying the toys that I like the look and feel of.

    On order already are Blackarachnia, Ratchet, and Lockdown (I'm a sucker for combiners and shared accessory gimmicks) but first chance I get, I'm going to snap up Grimlock, Blitzwing, and Soundwave.

    And the one toy I MUST have (And I promise you will too, once you get him in your hands) is Activators Bumblebee. He's this perfect little reasonably proper scale car, and you press his little roof siren and BAM! He just unfolds into a cool little robot, posable and ball-jointed and just awesome. I predict the biggest toy in the line may actually end up being one of the smallest.

    Nope, the line's awesome, but there are just some figures/characters I don't like.

    True.

    All except some character extras, non-show characters and/or the odd exclusive or hard to find I can't obtain.

    False. On the whole, Animated figures just don't fit into my collection aesthetic, and budget's limited so I'm sticking to what fits for the most part.
    But from what I've seen they are awesome figs. I've got the Voyager Prime, who I absolutely love to bits, and I do want to pick up the Cybertron-mode Prime, Starscream and possibly Ratchet for kitbash purposes. If money picks up quickly, though, I have little doubt I could be easily tempted to pick up more.

    FALSE. I honestly just don't like the look of the show or the toys at all. More power to those who do but they are not what I would want.

    nope, false. I think I'll just get prime to keep up my "prime from every series" thing going, but that's it.

    False. I *wanted* it to be the first mainline series since G1 that I would dive head first into again, but even after watching every episode and buying some of the current figures, I personally consider it just too pre-school Fisher Price to get behind. I'll still watch the show - just won't be buying the toys.

    False. I'm not a completionist by any stretch of the imagination. I'll get the ones I feel I need for my Optimus Prime and Megatron collections plus the toys I think look awesome, like Grimlock, Prowl and Starscream (especially if he gets a G1 repaint).
