so what lines of transformers do you have none of or you are in the process of getting rid of. I never liked Animated so I don't have any of those figures. I'm in the process of getting rid of (aka giving to my nephew) most of my RiD2.0 figures. Just keeping Bee, Grimlock, Strongarm and OS Megatronus. I don't have any machine wars figures, but I am not against having any. I'm also getting rid of (aka giving to my nephew) most of my Unicron Trilogy figures. Keeping very little, but for the most part I've sold anything that is worth adequate money and the rest Gavin will get or has gotten.

 

Animated, RID, Cyberverse, the post-Hasui MPs, Movie-anything, anything non-transforming, and Prime. I still hope to get a couple of choice figures from Prime and maybe the MP Sunstreaker mold though.

 

No Takara no mps but I collect what I can afford

 

Anything not chug.

 

Let's start when I began collecting seriously, during the first film:

-Animated. I DID own nearly the whole cast of Autobots but ended up selling them all. No real reason for that.

-Prime. Was going to go BIG into this until that First Edition disaster. I sold Prime Bumblebee and Arcee that I bought when the show first came off and promised to never buy anything from the line. And I didn't

-RID. Bought only Strongarm purely to support fembots.

-Cyberverse. Haven't bought a thing.

 

I dont collect g1.
I had some growing up, but transformers didn't really WOW me until Beast Wars gave us transformers with detailed sculpting, innovative transformation, and more articulation than almost any other action figure line at the time.
Nowadays, the engineering on g1 toys fails to impress me half as much as even the worst modern toys. That and they're so goddamned expensive that there isn't much of a value there.

For similar reasons, I skipped most of Armada, the gimmicks ruined a lot of those toys, made them unposable bricks.

Titaniums are just.....not good, I still have Beast Machines Cheetor and War Within Grimlock, and I might get Rid Optimus, but I'm not impressed by die cast and the transformation and articulation are bad compared to their contemporaries.

I usually skip gimmick lines like Fast Action Battles or Spark Attack or Deployers

Legends/Cyberverse and similar tiny toys.
I make exceptions if a unique character makes an appearance in these lines and not in the accompanying mainline such as Flak and Guzzle in Dotm Cyberverse.

Cyberverse 2018
The line was sooooo bad. Everything I dislike about g1 toys, the quality of McDonald's toys sold for retail prices. And NO UNIQUE CHARACTERS, they are all just geewun rehashes with no unique design ideas.
But, the new Spark Armour Toys and Ultimate Grimlock damn good. I'm getting those.

Fuck One Step Changers.
Beast Wars had one step Transformers that we're still fully functional action figures. What kind of technological backslide did we have between 1996 and today?
I blame the SpongeBob. He's rotting people's brains.

I sort of collect Masterpiece.
I don't feel the need to own every single character, but one of each mold is usually enough for me. But it comes down to money again, for the price of one Masterpiece, I can buy a dozen Generations figures. The most recent one I bought was MPM Bumblebee

 

Animated, OG RID, Masterpiece, Alternaters, Crossovers Marvel and Star Wars and the Rescuebots lines I don't own anything for at the moment.

NuRID, Prime, TFCC, and movieverse (Including SS) are lines I have VERY minimal numbers for.

I'm sure there are others, but I don't really know what they are...

 

Botbots
The card game
If i collected them i would go insane to try to get them all and i rather get siege or studio series with that money

 

Studio Series- I use to love the movieverse but now I can’t stand the designs. They legitimately give me headaches

Cyberverse- they look like baby toys

Animated- not a fan of the designs

MP- can’t afford them even if I wanted too

RID15- just no interest

 

Cyberverse, only bought the main characters for RID 2015, and didn't care for Beast Machines at all. Also dont really actively collect anymore haha. I'm pretty content, there hasnt been a release in a couple years that I feel absolutely necessary to get.

 

DoTM and Prime has been unloaded.

Missed out on most of T30 deluxes, legends, and leaders as well but I feel I dodged a bullet on that one.

Had no interest in NuRID.

I feel those were a low point for Transformers for the most part. Just sayin'   

 

Of what's currently on the market? Just siege and studio series. G1 mps, but not v3 prime. No real interest in the beast wars mps. I stopped collecting the non chug mainline after Prime. Used to do statues way back in the day with the hard hero's busts/statues.

 

I only collect the Generations line and Sunbow Masterpieces, official only

 

All I collect now is Masterpiece Beast Wars.

So far over the past three months I've bought:

Cheetor
Dinobot
Megatron
Optimus Primal

All that is left is Blackarachnia.

Only other Predacon I'd consider is Waspinator.

My main focus until Blackarachnia is Marvel Legends.

For a time I considered Siege Jetfire and Mirage.

Lack of display space made the decision for me.

 

Hard to say there's a line that I DO collect. I just pick and choose stuff that appeals to me. I don't own a complete line of anything.

 

Cyberverse: I'm only interested in the Scraplet, Spark Armor Ratchet, and maybe Sky-Byte. I might get other Spark Armor toys from Wave 2 depending on what they look like, but beyond them and the Scraplet, I don't have that much interest in this line.

Rescue Bots: Not my thing. Nothing wrong with them, really, but I'm not interested in their visual aesthetic. I do appreciate the inclusion of new characters, though. (If Hasbro made a Generations RBA Whirl, I'd buy it yesterday.)

Studio Series: I like some of the movie designs, but since I'm already buying Siege and BotBots, I gotta save money somewhere. The bike sisters 3-pack is the only upcoming release I really want at the moment.

 

This. Although I bought a few masterpieces and g1 toys.

 

G2: 4
BW/BM (90’s/early 2000’s): 3
RID2001: 0
UT: 4 (maybe)
TFP: 4
TFA: 2
RID15: 2
Cyberverse: 0
Rescue Bots: 0

 

I'm still pretty new to the whole thing and I tend to pick up whatever I fancy. It's mostly CHUG, but I've got a few bits from RID and Animated (and even a cute wee Cyberverse Sky Byte.) For 3P figures, it's IDW-inspired ones that I'm interested in. Some of the Studio Series and 3P Bayverse bits are starting to tempt me, because a nice figure is a nice figure. There's also a few Prime designs I'd like to own.

I realise that the question was which lines you don't collect, but I figured it was easier to list the ones I do. Much shorter.
