    I would've about 4 years old, probably 1993/94 when I got him.

    What ones are you currently most looking for and why?
    No chasing anything in particular, but I wouldn't mind a MOSC version of my first Bumblebee at the right price.

    Best: Clench
    Worst: Whatever that blue box on tracks with the two mechanical arms was

    What was your first one, and when?
    Fearswoop and Hawk - bought them off my nephew when he was a teenager and had outgrown them and I hadn't


    What ones are you currently most looking for and why?
    Wouldn't mind finding a G2 Seaspray - I did like his metallic paint job. Also Vroom looks pretty cool

    A lot of the ones I have could be classed as Gen 1.5. Think I've got less than a dozen Decepticons and only 3 Autobots from G2 all up

    Well, I don't have much experience with G2, but in terms of which toys I like, I'd probably go with Grimlock, (if it counts) Laser Prime and of course Megatron. (who doesn't like that big bastard?)

    If we count G1.5 stuff that also got a G2 release (I don't) then Clench is the best ever.

    Otherwise I assert that Dreadwing/Smokescreen is one of the greatest releases of all time. For proof please see the following: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ry8TupFxILU.

    Worst: Aquablast
    Best: Laser Optimus Prime

    What was your first one, and when?
    Deftwing, Ironfist and Calcar (got 'em all on the same day ) - 1993.

    What ones are you currently most looking for and why?
    Snarl - only G2 Dinobot I don't have. Not a big priority though... I'll buy one if I happen to come across one for a cheap enough price.

    That's a cool collection you've got there, Gok.

    What are your Best and Worst toys of this series?
    Best: The Decepticon Predators are probably the ones I look back most fondly on for their design aesthetic. The Cyberjets were excellent and had unprecedented articulation. The Rotorforce and Sky Scorchers were pretty cool too and I love G2 Bruticus in all his technicolour glory.

    Worst: Flamefeather. Flame spitting gimmick wore out quickly, super simple transformation, stupid looking robot and alt modes. Just terrible.

    What was your first one, and when?

    G2 Blast Off. I remember picking him out from the Big W in Cairns. I used to live in far north Queensland and Cairns was our roughly bi-annual shopping trip. I loved space and everything to do with it - I chose Blast Off purely because he was a space shuttle.

    What ones are you currently most looking for and why?
    Keeping a tentative eye out for Stalker, Rotorstorm and Skyquake from the Predator/Turbomaster line. They were pretty cool but because they were European/Australian only releases they go for crazy money now - the small Predator jets are $150+ for MOSC, even loose sets are $70+!

    G2 After Burner is probably the only one I really want now. I had a few of my transformers stolen when I lived in Indonesia in the late 90s and that's the only one that I haven't yet been able to replace. I suspect our maid's son may have taken them but at least he took the cool ones so it shows he had good taste! I hope they at least made him happy, and I'm fortunate to be in a position to replace them now.

    Show us some pics of your collection of the ones you have.

    Larger



    From left to right:
    Front: Power Dive, Manta Ray, Rapido
    2nd: Skyjack, Eagle Eye, Razor Wind
    3rd: Hooligan, Space Case, Pounce, Falcon
    4th: Grimlock, Wingspan
    Back: Bruticus (Swindle, Brawl, Onslaught, Blast Off and Vortex), Cyclonus

    Blast Off, Vortex, Falcon and Space Case are recent replacements for stolen figures. Sky Jack is the only one I didn't originally own growing up, I got him just to complete the Decepticon Cyberjet set because they're awesome. Cyclonus and the Decepticon clones are technically G1 but I think these were 90s reissues so the get to go on the nostalgia shelf. I remember getting Cyclonus from the town newsagent and the clones from a department store in Malaysia.

    There's a few still in a box in Melbourne that I haven't gotten around to transporting to Perth yet. I think all that's left are:
    Roadblock
    Snarl
    Flamefeather
    Ironhide (power master)
    Air Raid (G1 mould)
