    Any of the Human Alliance figures. I was never, ever fond of that gimmick, and was just planning to stick to deluxes, voyagers, and leaders. Then i picked up HA Jazz on a whim, and BAM. Now I own them all (not the basics) except Soundwave, Mudflap, and Bumblebee (who I refuse to get because he's awful).

    Also, DotM Wheeljack and Soundwave. I really wanted them but couldn't justify spending over $60 for two deluxe figures. But, lo and behold, I budgeted them in. Deluxe Leadfoot, on the other hand, well, he's a pipe dream for sure.

    Never thought I would buy Legends figures. The creative engineering in some Transformers is what attracts to them. But as the months and years go on, the TF's get more and more complex. I picked up a classics Legends Wheelie off the boards here for $5 just to have the little guy. Then I fell in love with the "Pull arms out, pull legs down" fun little transformation. Now here I am, 14 classics Legends figures later. And loving every one of them!

    Mine would definitely be SDCC FoC Bruticus.

    I'm very outspoken about how much I dislike that particular set. It isn't that I hate the mold...I hate that deco. Game accurate or not, SDCC Bruticus looks like three turds on top of some green thing. The worst part of it is that SDCC wanted 100 bucks for it, and it goes for double or triple that on Ebay. It's nuts to think that anyone would pay that much for it, but I guess enough people want it that it's that spendy. If asked to rank the three current Bruticus from best to worst, the G2 one is easily the best and the SDCC one to be the worst. The set is in no way worth 100 bucks, let alone double or triple that. In all, all honesty I wouldn't even pay more than 50 for it. The deco sucks that much.

    I can't get any more honest than that. The deco and lack of color variety sicken me. So what happens when a local reports that he's selling one for 110 if you pick it up locally?

    I bought it.

    I spent quite some time feeling like a huge hypocrite, I will tell you that. I still have it, as I have SDCC and FoC Bruticus posed together, but if you asked me to do it again, I would decline.

    Happened to me twice.

    Animated:
    I really didn't care for the aesthetic, but I wanted a few of the molds. After watching the first season the show made me respect the characters and I completed the main line & club exclusives. Really glad I gave in on this line!

    TF Prime:
    I really dont like this design, or the show. I only got the 1st season cast out of the pure lack of anything domestic to buy. I will not be getting any characters out side of the first season besides Magnus & Thundertron, and even Magnus may find a new home in time.

    It's a bad time for me and OEM Transformers :)  Not bitching, but besides Masterpiece there isn't anything that appeals to me right now. So Takara can hurry up and give me a MP Grimlock 2.0 that's the size of MP-01 since they want to be scale Nazis! I'll buy two!

    I never thought I would buy a Skywarp, not a fan of the Seekers. But because I collect Arms Microns, I got him. I would say he looks better than Starscream, which I don't have yet.

    I told myself I wouldn't buy any movie stuff anymore, but when the DOTM stampers became available locally and on clearance to boot, I bought several for myself and my nephew.

    Anything not G1. I was a snob then, I admit. Now I have a bunch of Classics, 3rd parties, and even movie figures.

    On a more specific note, G2 FoC Bruticus. When the retail and SDCC versions first came out, I was certain that I did not like the mold. Then came Dudicus. I liked the colors, I liked the box, and I liked the price. Ordered within an hour of release of price and in package pics. He's still sealed in box, though.

    Bruticus... somehow I have Onslaught and Swindle now and it's not a very impressive combined mode as of yet. ;)
