Tell me what to add to my collection!

[klystron]

Guys, I need some advice. I feel like adding a new 'bot to my ranks, but I'm not sure what.
Think I am fancying something from G1 (or BW?).
I like figures that are a little bit... different, are based on interesting characters and designs, and I'm a bit of a fan of articulation (strictly for posing, not for playing with! ) Examples like:
Snapdragon & Apeface (triple changing headmasters -- wow!)
Magmatron (3 beasts, 1 robot -- awesome)
Season 1 Optimus Primal (how much articulation and weapons can one 'bot have?)
G1 Bruticus (all time fav gesalt)
...have previous quenched my appetite, but now am feeling a little uninspired.

Some of the ones I have been thinking about are:
reissue G1 Skywarp/thundercracker 2 pack (on sale ATM)
G1 Quickswitch
Sixshot (probably too expensive though & bit of a brick in 'bot mode)
Abominus (a little bit over collecting gesalts though; too many peices & too expensive)
Predaking (see above)
G1 Sunstreaker
Octopunch
Doubledealer ('bot mode brick?)
G1 Whirl

Any suggestions?
Should also mention that my budget is NOT unlimited.
All thoughts and comments greatly appreciated.

Maybe Lioconvoy from the Japanese BW line as it's a very nice figure

If you like figures a little bit different, I'd go for a G1 Sunstreaker as he's never been reissued and not likely to be either. Second-hand prices are somewhere between US$80 - US$140 for a complete one and based on condition (I use US dollars as I do most of my buying from Ebay).

Sixshot is much better than Quickswitch. The possible forthcoming reissue of Sixshot may be worth waiting for. Doubledealer is a great toy too IMHO but yes a brick.

Some extra suggestions:
RID Megatron (10 modes at least! )
JRX/Rail Racer from RID (you can get the JRX set for not too much)

If you want different then you should get Injector

Though Sunstreaker is a good choice, you have to be careful because he has been KO, and a pretty convincing one at that.

'sif you wouldn't play with your toys!

Get two Time Warriors (cos you'll obviously need to give one to me)

G1: hmmmm Fort max ... or reissue Galvatron

BW: Optimal Optimus or TM@ Dragon megs are both nice!

Predaking would satisfy your beastly desires but yeah, is pretty expensive even if your considering the reissue but obviously complete, there's one on eBay is aus for 450 now but that's some pricey plastic

But that's a biased opinion, he's my favourite gestalt and in the top 5 fav tfs of all time. I have 2 One set of MIB Takara foamy goodness and a loose one I just recently repro'd

Thanks for the suggestions.
LioConvoy - bit of a fan of this one, but he's a bit pricey.
Sunstreaker - will keep sniffing around ebay for a bargin.
RID Megatron, RailRacer, Fort Max - don't like.
Injector & Optimal Optimus - already have both.
TM2 Megatron - have wanted this since first saw tv show, but now not sure...
Predaking - thought about collecting seperately, but now not sure either.

Having said all that and after wasting most of my spare time of the past couple of days, I have decided that I must have both SIXSHOT and Quickswitch.

Unfortunately, as a species, we humans seem to have run out of Sixshot figures. And what few can be found either have no guns (whats the point?) or are priced into the hundreds of USD. At least it will be a challenge to acquire one.
There are a few Quickswitch figures on the 'bay though.

Paulbot - where did you hear of this "possible forthcoming reissue" of Sixhsot?


Anyone want to sell me either of their's?
