    Movie Barricade. After Armada, I collected on and off with Energon and Cybertron, but the Movie toys got me into TFs again.

    Beast Wars Insecticon. He is like the RotF scouts: so simple, yet so awesome. Storing the weapon in alt mode was a novelty back then, I love that crossbow.

    If I remember right mine was Animated Voyager Grimlock. He looked great in dino mode, and I had a G1 version when I was a kid.

    I don't know for the rest of Europe, but we had those in Germany as well. I think the last Transformer I bought was Rotorstorm. I have seen all the other Transformers at some time as well, but I just had grownup and had no interest in toys anymore, that's the only reason I stopped buying Transformers.

    At the beginning I only had Two transformers:
    FlyWheels, which was a hand-me-down and a bootleg Insecticon that transformed into a wasp.
    Eventually Beast Wars came out, and I became interested in Maximal Airhammer. I was also interested in the McD BW toys. I have been a lifelong Batman and Jurassic PArk fan, and my mum wouldn't buy me anything unless it was Batman or JP. Eventually she started to cave in, but I realized how diverse BW was so I kept it down to allowance money.
    Eventually I moved and my BW collection fluorished with BM toys (barely, just the McD toys), and I sort of lost interest while RiD ran (I was in the hospital for 2 yrs straight),but when Armada came out, I loved the idea of minicons and pocket sized TF's so THAT is what brought me back in full force to the TF spectrum.

    A pile of RiD toys. I went to the local department store and picked up Prime, Magnus, Megatron, and a couple of others.

    Cybertron Hot Shot- That got me into collecting.

    I think it was either ROTF Bludgeon that had me comming back into the groove after the dissapointment of ROTF ( I didn't post sometime between 2009-2010) hear. I did get ROTF Leader Optimus Priem for Christmas 2009 but i was never amazed by him but still cool. RID Scourge/Car Robots Black Convoy after buying him off of here, ROTF Brawn, ROTF Lockdown, Animated Arcee and Animated Cybertron Ratchet and Generations Drift helped a lot in 2010 keep me in as well as TF Prime.

    I don't know which tf i'l buy soon hopefully Prime Starscream and Arcee. As i havent bought much Tf's since August mostly Bionicle/Hero Factory.

    About 7 years ago, my roommate was just starting to get addicted to Ebay...I jokingly told him that if he could find me a complete G1 Grimlock for less than $30, I'd pay him cash for it...a week later, he called me downstairs and handed me a box...I opened it and BAM! G1 Grimlock...I was like "Holy crap dude!" I went on Ebay myself and started looking around...fast forward to today, and I now have an entire room full of TF's...

    Galaxy Force Optimus. But Beast Wars brought me back into the fandom, paved the road for me, I just didn't buy any BW toys.

    I bought Superlink Wing Saber after years cut off from Tf love. The last thing I bought was G2 Scrapper & Long Haul in 1996, and having this new figure really excites me. The rest was history though...
