    I narrowed it down to series and my top five are

    1. Masterpiece (If the line grows the way it appears to eb growing, I think I would keep my MP line over my vintage G1)

    2. G1 (I grew up on the stuff and was too poor to collect it which is why I collect now)

    3. Beast Wars (BM by default) (the series that made me a true Transfan)

    4. Animated (the most refreshign and unique line ever)

    5. Classicverse ( this is where 3Ps live and I <3 my 3P and G1 stuff)

    If I had to go down to single number figures.

    Hasbro 2012 MP Prime w Trailer
    BW Scout Rattrap because he is the actual figure that started it all.
    Fort Max for being the biggest figure
    Generation Metroplex for beign the tallest figure ever and showing us that Hasbro probably cares more now than ever.

    But to be honest carrying over a figure from here and there will just reopen flood gates. MP Prime (2012) is the only figure I would keep if I had to lose it all. Add MP Megs v 2.0 if he ever comes out.

    I've often thought about this and I'd say among my "1%" would be:

    • Fortress Maximus
    • LioKaiser
    • MP-01 Convoy
    • BW Gorilla Optimus Primal
    • Optimal Optimus
    • Fire Convoy
    • God Magnus
    • Predaking
    • Big Powered
    • Grandus
    • Sixshot

    That's not a comprehensive list of course. Just some off the top of my head.

    damm what a tough question. i dont know if i have my 1% as i only own one masterpiece wich is 20th annyversary optimus. but if i had to choose, it would be my classics collection wich while it may sound stupid but putting time and effort into collecting it from universe, classics and generations helped me through some tough times.

    If that's your 1% then you must have 1000 plus transformers...wow.

    I have maybe 100 so my 1% would be:
    PE reflector...PE-11 I think.

    First off, I'd definitely keep my G2 Bumblebee, Seaspray and Brawl. They're some of the few TFs from my childhood to survive.

    As for items I obtained later in life:

    BotCon Rapido
    God Ginrai
    My Cassette-former Collection

    Are probably on top.

    It's hard to decide. I don't have a lot of huge, high-end lone figures - most of my cherished stuff is part of a collection (like Classics G2) and while I love having the whole collection, few of the individuals are must-keep on their own.

    -Armada Hot Shot. (A lot of sentimental value)
    -MP-10 (Hasbro version)
    -Classicsverse figures

    That's about it.

    Anything else will go to my future kids. (Or end up being sold)

    -MP-04 Convoy
    -G1 FortMax
    -MakeToys Giant (if I can count that as one :tongue:  )
    -Fanstoys Quakewave

    Definitely my G2 Grimlock, Masterpiece Grimlock, G2 Combaticons and G1 Protectobots. They're very important to me personally.

    I'd also be very hard-pressed to sell my Fort Max and Headmaster Warriors.
