    That's the fire department. You can't take them with you.

    None, I'd be too busy saving our records whist my other half saves the cat.

    I'm planning on storing them in a shed. No need to save them from a HOUSE fire.

    I'd grab my Ultimetal Optimus Prime.

    It can serve as a makeshift axe to break down doors if necessary.

    Assuming my family are out of the house, I’d probably save my Studio Series figures, Energon Scorponok, and a few of the Siege figures I own.

    Otherwise, my sister is more important than anything.

    I actually lost all my figures in a fire in 1986. Didn't have a chance to save any. Didn't go back to TF's for 14 years after that.

    Thank You!!

    To make it worse, I then went through a flood about 6 years ago. Most of the TF were under water, but thankfully everything was saved with some help from some amazing friends.

    The "Dryening". Armada Thundercracker (powered up Starscream) was making weird noises for a week but those were the only electronics effected. FB_IMG_1572816152420.jpg

    It was like 2 seconds of either an engine or blaster effect (not the whole clip, just a fraction of it) . It would randomly go off and repeat for 2 or 3 minutes straight, did that for over a week. 3 am TC would just start going crazy as if possessed. It was a inside joke between my friends who were there that day for quite a while.

    Probably Siege Omega Supreme but only because the rest are in my office with the door shut and I will not be so foolish to risk life and limb for mere toys. Omega on the other hand is chilling out near the door in my living room and would not be so hard to grab it with a free hand on the way out.

    A she shed, perhaps? I hear those are pretty susceptible to fires.

    Jesus, man. Stay far away from the midwest and the west coast. With your luck, you've still got some natural disasters to go.

    G1 Darkwing and Dreadwind.

    Don't ask me why. These guys are super sentimental to me.

    And if I have time, the Nova Prime I spent a weekend putting together with SND's kit.

    My Transformers Animated Hot Rod figure I originally got for my 5th birthday and have bought again two times since (I'd lose pieces).

    Family, cats, and computer, in that order.

    If we were to rephrase the question to be "What figures would you save if you had to get rid of 99.99% of your collection", I'd save Planet X's Hephaestus, Generation Toy IDW Optimus Prime, MMC Kultur, Masterpiece Delta Magnus, Takara Legends God Ginrai, and Masterpiece Optimus Primal. All of these figures have a particular sentimental value attached to them, and as such would be irreplaceable.

    I have a friend whose house burned down years ago. He was not home at the time but his family was. After his wife got the kids out safely she had just enough time to go back into the house for a quick recon. The one item she grabbed before flames took the house? His dad's deer rifle.

    What a woman!
