    I have to vote for Energon. I never cared for that line outside of a few figures (i.e. Galvatron, Omega Supreme/Sentinel and the combiner Optimus).

    I'd dump most of the movie line. You know they'll re-do everything again but better when Transformers 3 comes out. I remember DX BB from the first movie was fetching a high price but it's not anymore now

    After that, dump energon

    If you decide to dump your CHUG line, i'll pick some up from you :D

    If I had to get rid of one, it'd probably be Energon.

    Energon, since I don't have any. And they all look a bit crap any way.

    I am gonna be a rare person to say that G1 is what you should chug, because selling those will yield a rather high amount of gold I mean... cash so you can buy more of other things.

    Keep G1, ditch all the others, and add Alternators/Masterpieces/WST to your collection.

    I'd go through each line and work out which figures you have fiddled with/looked at the least, get rid of them, and keep the ones I liked. I couldn't pick an entire line to sell outright.

    Get rid of the deluxe and mega Energon Autobots, plus any doubles of movie characters. The Energon Decepticons not named Insecticon were all pretty good toys.

    I would get rid of Energon.

    Not that I don't have any Energon figures, and even if I do I only have the figures of the characters I actually liked from that series, but still... get rid of the Energon figures.

    The G1, CHUG, Animated, and Movie-verse figures are definite keepers in my book.

    The problem with most of these suggestions is that they're so subjective. You have people that are telling you to ditch Energon, TFTM/ROTF, and Animated because those are the lines that they personally dislike. I realize that it's all a matter of opinion, but it's more like others inadvertently imposing their own beliefs on the OP than anything. Sorry if I've offended anyone here. I'm pretty much in agreement with Draven as to the OP's decision.

    Energon is the easy choice beacause

    A) It's probably the least desirable line for collectors. (it's dead, it's not very well articulated, the show was not highly regarded so nostalgia factor is less)

    B) It will be easy to sell because kitbashers like to use these figures for parts.

    I'll have to go with the majority and say Energon here. As much as I have a soft spot for the line, it really is the weakest out of the options that be. I'd recommend you to keep any of the "neo-Scramble City" combiners you have completed, but that's as much a matter of taste as anything else.

    Went with the majority and voted Energon, but if I had to do the same I'd miss Shockblast and Starscream.

    I couldn't agree more. I don't collect lines. I collect figures. Every line has good and bad figures.
