How many Transformers do you have?

[GoktimusPrime]

It's time for the 2008 annual collection count survey!!

As always, remember that in order to participate in this survey you MUST adhere to the Universal Counting Method. You need to round off your collection count to the nearest hundred. e.g.: <150 = 100, =150 & >150 = 200. Pretty simple.

Righteo, so here's a brief rundown of the UCM. Please click on the UCM thread link to view each article in further detail.

1/ Only legit Transformers count. KOs, pre-TFs, customs etc. do NOT count.
2/ Nebulans, Pretender Shells and AM partners/vehicles do NOT count.
3/ Micromasters and Mini-Cons all count individually.
4/ Only the component members of a gestalt team count.
5/ Individual combiner robots count separately but multi-in-1 components do not.
6/ Bases do not count.
7/ "Peripheral" Transformers, drones and pilots do NOT count.
8/ Decoys, Statues, busts, PVCs, meal/candy toys etc. do NOT count.
9/ Variants count.
10/ Multiples count.
11/ Only the 15cm transformable Titanium Series Transformers count.
12/ TF Jrs and Choro-Q TFs count."Non-mainline" Transformers count.
13/ Microman Transformer humans count.
14/ Play Skool Transformers count.
15/ Quintessons, Beastformers and Build-figures count.
16/ Plushies count
17/ All transforming movie Transformers count but non-transforming movie Transformers do not.
18/ Loose and sealed Transformers are counted in the same way.
19/ Only Transformers in C-6 condition or above count

Here is a video explaining how to count your Transformers according to the UCM

Oops! I forgot to include Article 1 there so the order was mixed up. Fixed now, thanks.

My 365 gets rounded up to 400 (Whoa! Highschool Maths actually gets used for once )

[Golden Phoenix]

I have about 170-180 after I take out the revoltech and robot heroes. Rounded up to 200

EDIT: just read the UCM again, didn't realise that revoltech counted, doesn't change anything anyway, still would have been 200 anyway.
Do the Robot Heroes count though?

[roller]

the technique/s to count are too difficult for my simple mind, so ive never bothered to count my collection

[GoktimusPrime]

Do the Robot Heroes count though?

Robot Heroes are PVC figures, so no.

8/ Decoys, Statues, busts, PVCs, meal/candy toys etc. do NOT count.
