    I love the classics Seeker mold. I only have 5 versions of the mold (the Aces Seeker set, Universe 2.0 Starscream and Generations Thundercracker) but I would have bought even a third Starscream, if they repainted him into his Actionmaster / Pretender colors. Pretender Starscream was my first Starscream toy and I like this color scheme.

    Even though we had better articulated seeker molds in the later years, I still prefer the classics Seeker mold over everything else. OK, the Armada Starscream mold was better, but that's Armada Starscream and not G1 seeker, so that does not count. ;)

    For me, my personal cliff jumper is the GDO one I just really like prime first edition cliff. The only problem is my prime first edition cliff has a broken head so...
    I’ll probably just try to find a spare gdo cliff head and get that hot soilders 2 pack

    GDO Cliffjumper is all types of awesome. I think he's the figure that got me back into collecting. Mine needs a small little fix, but other than that he's great!

    I don't remember inferno being the wreckers, was he in the marvel comics? Also how bad was it to get topspin and twintwist because I missed my chance to get them at retail price and I've never seen them for a good price

    Yup. He was a part of the crew in the Marvel UK comics. I think he was part of some small subgroup with Sandstorm and Broadside. I really regret not getting Topspin and Twintwist when I had the chance, too. It's gonna be a pain trying to track them down.

    And the Wreckers shelf looks good so far @tigatron2002!

    i actually got them back when they released, topspin was one of my first transformers (along with blaster, onslaught, swindle and optimus prime) as hand me downs from my brother so i had to get the duo when they came out during titans return

    thanks, got a few more to add to it still, siege impactor, thrilling 30 springer (once siege springer takes his place on my season 3 shelf), 2 green ko upscales of cw warpath as rack n ruin, and im sure i had thought of a few others but im drawing a blank currently

    and they're more expensive, but bbts still has the takara versions for retail (or at least what those versions retail for)

    heh, I got the original jumpstarters from a botcon contest after managing to guess how many g1 metroplex kneecaps were in a jar. I think I might just try and get the 3rd party versions of the jumpstarters if I can't find the tR ones for cheap

    I’m pretty sure we will never see an official chug catilla, so should I buy that mcc one that’s been rotting in bbts clearance for a long time. He still works as a chug figure right?
