Benben, welcome to the way it was for us older fans! We were your age (and sometime much younger) and had to put stickers on EVERY figure!

I still remember the horror of G1 Jazz's rear whell arches, the seekers' torso stickers and eyes, and the number of times stickers would tear when coming off the sheet!

Younger fans have been spoiled with the newer TFs. They have lots of details painted and moulded on. G1 TFs relied a lot on stickers for detail.

Having said that, I opened Megaplex and saw all the stickers and promptly put him to one side until my patience levels are recharged! I use tweezers and a pocket-knife or thin piece of metal to align them, and then squeeze them down when they are in place.

I suffered with them only 2 years ago with the Hasbro re-issue!

I find a pair of small tweezers and a mini flathead screwdriver are the most helpful things in the world when applying painful to place stickers.

Wise words! I use the tip of my scalpel. It allows you to get the sticker very flat and close to the spot you want to stick it to so you can line it up before touching it down. Applying the stickers is my favourite part of opening a new TF or finishing a new custom.

As for aquisitions, I got the MP Prime Trailer (Just It Toys) and an extra MP Starscream (soon to be Sunstorm) from Robot Kingdom.
