    I guess it would be my Optimus Prime. Mind you, I had to replace most of his parts with components from a rerelease because he'd been "loved to death".

    Actually, I had to replace everything. But I removed the head from the broken one and attached it to the new one. And I transplanted the stickers from the trailer to the new one. I wonder why the new Prime I got is better. In my first one, his fists kept falling out everytime I put his arms down. It's how I lost one. But with this one, they stay in.

    I also have a Metroplex I'm fairly attached to. The Aerialbots and Stunticons also have an important place in my collection. It's a pity I've lost Menasor's face. Since Motormaster broke about two times and had to be replaced, I'm assuming I have spares somewhere. I just don't know where. I also managed to obtain a Rodimus Prime. He's an important one.

    This is my wish list:

    Trypticon.
    Omega Supreme.
    Sky Lynx.
    Triple Changers (I have Astrotrain, but need the others).
    Galvatron.
    Shockwave (I had one, but he broke while I was trying to repair the electrical system). Maybe if I can find the right glue, I can reattach his arm. Electrics are still broken, though.
    Headmasters, counting Fortress Maximus and Scorponok. Those last two are likely to be expensive. I doubt I could afford them. Actually, I doubt I can afford any of these. Since they've become "collectables", the price has skyrocketed! And since I'm collecting them to play with, not as an investment, I resent that!!!!!!!

    I have Soundwave and Blaster, so I'd like to complete my tape collection. As it currently stands, I have Rewind, Eject, Ramhorn and Buzzsaw. I've lost some of the weapons and Steeljaw (still trying to find him!).

    I've also lost most of the Micromaster teams I once had, so I'm trying to replace those too. I need Powertrain from the Off-Road series and the other six from the Sportscar series (I only have Freehandler and Detour).

    The one I really want, but is extremely unlikely will ever become available is a G1 sportscar Arcee. Alita 1 would also be nice too. And Firestar!

    Actually, now that I think about it, my crown jewel would have to be my European unreleased G2 Lucky Draw Gold Edition Goodbye Black Zarak, Liokaiser, & Overlord Combo Gift Pack that's not only MISB, it has never been looked upon directly with human eyes.



    :p

    EHobby Ghost Starscream is probably the rarest figure I own...but my crown jewel, or jewels, would be the sixty or seven variations of good old Optimus Prime I have on proud display...in a closet...behind a partially built crib that I stopped putting together because one part had a small crack in it. I want my god damned crib crack free! No more crack!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I don't have anything that's particularly rare or valuable in my collection, but the piece that I love to bits is my MIB Masterforce Diver. I found it on ebay just after I'd started watching the subs of Masterforce, and now I am a sucker for Japanese G1 packaging.

    I'd like to get all 7 of the Masterforce pretenders MIB eventually... Probably won't ever happen, heheheheh

    I don't own any rare or or overly expensive Transformers. As a matter of a fact most of my collection is fairly common. That being said my crown jewel is my MP 20th anniversary Prime. Mainly because it's the Transformer that got me back into Transformers. Would you believe I got it brand new for only $32! Whether you like Prime or not It is an awesome toy!
