    Most people have some collecting goal they'll reach where the set is complete. What are the biggest missing characters that either don't exist yet or the current options don't get the job done well enough to fill that hole. If MP's ended next year, what core characters would you prioritize existing before you can have a satisfactorily complete collection?


    I need :

    1. Better Cliffjumper
    2. Better Blaster
    3. FT Perceptor
    4. New TT Seekers
    5. Better Windcharger
    6. Ocular Max Autobot cassettes
    7. FT Acoustic Wave
    8. The rest of the unfinished FT combiners
    9. Better Reflector (maybe FT 2.0?)
    10. MP scale Sharkticon

    Those are the primary characters missing for me to feel complete enough. I could also go for plenty of other combiners and cool 86-89 characters but they're not as essential.

    - Runamuck & Runabout
    - Alpha Trion
    - FT Constructicons

    Those are must haves. Everything else (like FT Ravage, FT Thomas, FT Blitzwing, a new Cliffjumper, Devcon...) is optional.

    Takara Starscream

    Takara Thundercracker
    A better Perceptor.

    5 + Streetwise already paid for. Just need Maketoys to pull their finger out and someone to make a slavish cartoon Perceptor.

    I wonder if Chomp will be out before Takara Skywarp. Would be fitting that a slavish cartoon version of the first Transformer I ever got would be my final Decepticon purchase.

    I think you pretty much nailed it. When you say unfinished combiners, do you mean just superion and Menasor, or the other unnumbered one's? I'm gonna pass on Abominus and Computron, but i could do with an MP Predaking and Skylynx (MMC would do though).

    I’d like to see a premium version of Maketoys Visualizers. Honestly, with better colors, better paint & thinner faces, the figures would be perfect.

    (Someone once showed off how they shaved off the backs of the faces, so they were more recessed. Which completely fixed the swim cap illusion.)

    Silver faces, and painted/colored weird feet are a must.

    There will always be bots added to the list. These figures are a plastic addiction, no one is going to stop when their list is met, they'll just move the goal post. Only thing I've seen actually stop or finish collections is life.

    So...to exist:

    FT Skullcruncher
    Brainstorm
    Highbrow
    Cerebros
    Zarak
    Slugslinger
    Misfire
    Triggerhappy
    Sureshot
    Crosshairs
    Double Dealer
    Deathsaurus
    Darkwing
    Dreadwing
    Last two FT Aerialbots
    A better Rodimus Prime (or the fixed TT one for a decent price!)
    New constructicon for bot modes

    I need to buy:

    Cliffjumper
    Huffer
    Trailbreaker
    Ravage
    Seekers
    Hound
    Insecticons
    Windcharger

    I think that is it... Of course, my collection will still grow with random releases, particularly from the Japan G1 series and cool designs like a tank Megatron.

    I want to cover:

    86 movie
    G1 Arrival From Cybertron characters
    The Rebirth

    Plus a couple of other fav characters.

    I started writing a list but I stopped at about 30 names. There's still way too many characters I want before considering my collection complete.

    Let's just say that I want every G1 cartoon onscreen character in the right scale, look and with good quality which means I still need about 1/2~2/3 of the characters (including the ones that need to be remade).
