I'm getting a TF-present, please suggest something?

Aye. My sister is going to buy me a TF off of eBay.

And it needs to cost less than 33$.

Out of all the generations from Beast Wars and onward, what would you wager is the must-have toy? Except Masterpiece of course.

I'm currently shifting towards Vector Prime...

It's the first TF toy anybody's buying me in 11 years!

I could use some tips here.

Guzzle!!

or Hardspark.

Vector Prime is a good choice, as is Jetfire (cybertron).

Failing that, go for Alternator Meister

What about:

Energon: Slugslinger or Bulkhead

Cybertron: Evac

RiD Optimus, of course.

Vector Prime would definitely be good, though.

Good one!

Meister would be really cool, it's Jazz!

So right now for me, it's between:

Meister
Rid Optimus
Vector Prime

Keep em' comin' lads, keep em' comin'...

Pipes.
Flywheels.
Guzzle!!
Hardspark.

Yes of course lads.. because those are all post-Beast Wars..

Flywheels was remade as Beast Wars Megatron.

Pipes became Rhinox.

Guzzle was rebuilt as Sacavnger and went undercover - with drills for hands.

Hardspark, being Japanese, was obvioulsy rebuilt as Big Convoy.

Everyone knows this.

Buy an Overlord from me.

I'm the Overlord guy... you can hardly find me NOT having one for sale...

Alternators Grimlock.

Because I never could get one.

Buy a small lot of loose toys instead of one figure?

And if it includes Flywheels, Pipes and Guzzle/Hardspark, then all the better.

If we're talking BT/Alts, then I would go with Shockwave over Meister.
But IMO, Hound is the best of the early Alts.

BB Shockwave · Post by **BB Shockwave** » Tue Sep 05, 2006 6:16 pm

Hound, Silverstreak, Tracks, Shockwave... these are the Alternators that have almost the same look as the originals (well Shockwave only in Bot mode of course). Maybe Skids too.

Shanti418 · Post by **Shanti418** » Tue Sep 05, 2006 6:32 pm

Yeah, Skids was cool too. But defintely don't go with Tracks.

BB Shockwave · Post by **BB Shockwave** » Tue Sep 05, 2006 6:34 pm

Why not? I just got a friend buy one for me from the States... is there anything I don't know about that toy?

Shanti418 · Post by **Shanti418** » Tue Sep 05, 2006 8:03 pm

It's got the most convoluted transformation and worst articulation of them all, IMO.
