I've decided to join a fellow souther hemisphere community. Really surprised my nickname wasn't taken!
Anyhow, ba weep and all that. I am a born-again collector (in no small part due to the movies) but mostly because of Tomy's "Encore" line. As an 80's kid I had access to a cavalcade of classic bots, but could only afford a few.

I don't know what kind of fan I'd qualify as; I am fond of the G1 cartoon, I absolutely adored the Beast era, I thought the RiD line was nigh-perfect mix of oldies with new designs, didn't mind much about Armada or Energon but went totally nuts over Galaxy Force. My favorite continuity is the current IDW, specially More than meets the eye. Anway cheers and I'm really happy to be here.
