    I think I can say all my MP's, BT's and some really expensive G1 figures as well as some BW's figures. Lol, basically most of my collection as it is.

    Honestly, it would be more like 2% for me because my collection is so small. I would probably end up keeping a majority of my Sunstreaker and Sideswipe figures, but only if they have a counterpart (i.e. Myclone Sideswipe and RH Sunstreaker would go).

    Without a doubt its a 1984 knackered G1 Skywarp I got for my 6th Birthday. Chewed nosecone, and only 1 tailfin, but its the oldest one I have that I didnt get second hand.

    The 2 figs I got with it were G1 Optimus and Bumblebee, both of which broke long ago and got replaced with assorted rereleases, but not 'Warp.

    If not him then a G1 Jetfire with no accessories, also had since new and been repaired with various boot sale donors.

    i know this thread is old and this is probably necroing or whatever..but ive read the whole thread and thought id throw my two cent in

    G1 Soundwave- to be specific the one ive had since i was a kid...and im 30 now..he is complete with all of his accessories and laserbeak as well...most of his stickers have peeled off and he is kind of floppy...especially his legs..really debating a repro labels sets for him

    MP Soundwave- Soundwave is my favorite TF character and this is the hands down must own Soundwave toy..i got the rumble/frenzy/whatever:ravage two pack..but i dont think ill get the repaint two pack...amazing toy

    GF Noisemaze- its where i got my username and is still my favorite character from the unicron trilogy..

    G1 Megatron- all the shit that i had to got through to get the stupid thing...

    G1 Scorponok MIB..missing one of the radars and a ramp or something..was out going to yardsales with my mom...found one that had a table of old toys..got it for 40 bucks..i almost cried that day when i got home..

    G1 Fort Max- Mostly completely- Was my big brothers when we where kids.. he kept it in his attic...came to my house one day after not seeing me for a couple of years..saw all of my toys shelves..next time he comes to visit he brings me a box of G1 transformers including the Fort Max from when we where kids...

    All of my Soundwaves- he is my favorite character

    Bruticus- this is a broad topic actually..i have several for this one.. my G1 MISB japanese combaticons..my G1 Bruticus..my energon Bruticus.. and my FP collossus.which is Energon Barricade, and the green tank and the grey helicopter from the ROTF repaint and FP munitioner and explorer..

    FP Colossus and my Dark Jetfire. I'd probably add my animated Rodimus Minor.

    As for the thread, I would have to say all 3 Primals from the Beast Wars.

    They may be in junker condition, but it would be a worthy goal to get them complete.

    Only 1%? Tough choice...

    Since I only own about 6 Tfs, I guess if I could only keep one it would be MP-03 Starscream. He's special to me, so he'd be the one I'd keep.

    My sealed (tape loosening) G1 Jetfire that I've had since 85, I got two for Christmas and didn't open one. It's got beat up over the years, a little yellowing on the figure. Holy crap though, this thing has been with me forever.

    Don't think I could adhere to the 1% thing, I don't even know how many figures I own now. Always too afraid to do a tally for fear on how much I've spent. :lol 

    But to name a few that I can remember off the top of my head:
    -MP-08- I just love this beast, he will always be the definitive Grimlock to me.
    -G2 Optimus Prime- First real TF I ever got. He and I have a long history and while he may be worse for ware I'd never give him up
    -BW Depth Charge- Was an extra gift from my mom one birthday. She knew I had wanted him some how and went out of her way to get him for me.
    -BW Rattrap- Always wanted him as a kid, but timing wasn't on my side so years later I finally have him.
    -Universe 2.0 Nemesis Prime- He's the reason I got back into collecting after going through a looong dark period. Plus the classics mold is great.
    -G1 Abominus or just Rippersnapper- Love him in all his brickish glory and another amongst many that I had wanted so much staring at those scans of the old pamphlets.
    -G1 Micromaster Hot Rod Patrol- The first ever TF's I got. They've seen better days, but I just love them to death.
    -Myclone Trypticon- What can I say he's a cute little death machine.

    Well I've stopped counting beyond 1000 now so this might feel like 1%:

    MP Grimlock
    MP Sideswipe
    RTS Jazz
    Classics Mirage
    G1 Jetfire
    G1 Sludge
    MP Soundwave + Minions ( Gimli voice: That still only counts as one!!!)
    G1 Ravage
    BW Transmetal Ratrap
    Robot Masters Optimus
    Energon Blackout
    ENERGON Barracade


    Damn this is impossible!

    Gen Springer might make the cut too if I still love him as much as now in 6 months time.

    If we're talking house fire situation:

    MP-10
    Buster Optimus Prime

    Honestly, after that, the rest are somewhat easier and less costly to replace. But if that ever happened (knock on wood that it doesn't), you could expect to find me outside my room with a fire extinguisher until the fire department got there, or chucking them out the window into a safety net.


    If we're talking giving up collecting:

    -The two mentioned above
    -Battle Blade Bumblebee
    -Probably some variation of the rest of the first movie's cast and a select few from the later movies
    -MP Thundercracker

    Not sure what else after that.

    My G1 Optimus.

    I've had him since I was a kid and it was also my first TF AND he's mint and complete.

    Let's see:

    G1's: OP, Megs, Soundwave, Scream, Grimlock, Ultra Magnus, Hot Rod, Rodimus Prime, Reflector, chromedome, Brainstorm, Hardhead, Joyride, Crosshairs
    MP's: 10, 12, 13, 15

    Rest of my Prime, CHUG, MP's, and third party I can just buy back if I need to. But if I had to sell, above would be what I would keep no matter what.
