CHUGU... suggest a better name.

[LordCyrusOmega]

I just call mine by the line they came from such as classics or universe 2.0 etc. The shelf they all sit on is called the Classics shelf. I never got what CHUGU stood for until just now and it doesn't really work. I like the sound of Gen3 or Neo-Gen as something that collates all these lines into one coherent whole at least for us when discussing said lines.

Personally...I just call them all Classics...
and I never liked the term "CHUGU" it sounds
like the noise I make when I throw up...

I want to suggest CB-ICTY

..I would be tempted to buy a transformers line consisting of Rap Video Girls who turn into Rap Video Girls with bigger butts.

I don't see what's wrong with calling an individual toy by the name of their line f you must. Classics Jetfire. Generations Bumblebee.

When referring to individual toys, that is usually fine - but I think people are looking for a term when referring to Classics/Henkei(/Gentei)/Universe(2)/Generations/United etc. toys as an overall toy line or series.

Although HasTak markets them under separate banners, a lot of fans see them as being part of the same overall series. For me, I classify my CHUGU toys as all "Classics" in my collection spreadsheet like so:

So as you can see I lump them all as "Classics" (divided into Autobots and Decepticons), and there's other columns which further delineate them as Universe, Henkei, Generations etc. I have all my CHUGU Autobots on one shelf and my CHUGU Decepticons on another.

It seems there's a certain level of OCD that goes hand in hand with being a Transformers collector!

Lots actually. The need to collect, organise display shelves, clean, sort paperwork and constantly checking toy shelves to see if the staff have restocked them in the last 2 minutes.
