By the end of this year, I'll only have 3 official transformers in my collection. MP Optimus, MP Soundwave, and MP Smokescreen. And that Magic Square Optimus is coming hard for MP-10's spot.
My absolute favorite TF's are all third party: Gigapower Gigasaurs, Ocular Max Sphinx, TW/Zeta combiners, FT TG and Phoenix. I would have a hard time parting with any of them. Me to but I've already resigned myself to it. I thought there was some hope, a little while ago there was some talk about Takara or Hasbro acquiring Tomy (pretty sure that much is accurate) which had an existing Porsche license but I guess nothing came of it.

Is that the KO oversized MP Grimlock or FT Grinder? Having the choice which do you recommend? I have the 4 FT dinos. Thought I was done with my season 1 line up (save for FT's Trail Breaker) but have decided up upgrade my MP 8 to a better scaled Grimmy. Seeking some advice.

Thanks. I realized shortly afterwards it was the FTs. I’d love to do FT for Grimmy but my other FTs Dbots are X versions. I thought I was happy with my old MP8 and by the time I wasn’t the X Grinders had dried up and currently going for 400 on ebay. I may have to go with a reissue KO oversized MP-08X just so my Dino’s all match. I do like Grinder a lot but the plain version would look funny on my shelf at this point, with his buddies all shiney. I’m glad to hear it and not surprised. I’m sure they know that any original Ark Autobot will sell well and is worth the effort. 3rd Party will suffice for now but am happy to sell them off for any future release.

Not Takara but definitely worth having next to their Transformers:
My MP Minibot collection is getting bigger...

I'm personally loving third-party and the Takara knockoffs. Hell, even the third-party knock-off AOD Glider is tits. Thanks to them, I've got the TFormer collection I want on a relative shoestring (I was going for complete first season/year and select second year). My MP-10, Bluestreak, Bumblebee and Ratchet are genuine Takara, but everything else is a KO or third-party. Sphinx is indeed supurb, my Hound is a wonderful Willis, my Jazz is a J4ZZ, my Trailbreaker is a Badcube...something... and, well, on and on. They're all great! Now, granted, if I actually transformed the toys regularly, the Takara knockoffs probably wouldn't last long, but for just display & the occasional dicking about, they rule plenty. Anyway, I am done! Feels good to say that.

I’m jealous of your 3rd party 85 min bots! I have been sticking to season one Sunbow characters myself (because I collect too many other lines). When I was younger I actually couldn’t stand the second wave of midsized Autobots (except maybe Inferno and Grapple, they were cool) but I love the second wave of minis. Power Glide and Warpath were my favorite but Sunbow made me love them all. It’s hard to hold off on them but the teased FT Warpath may pull me in.

Nice, I’m not sure I want to jump into anything past season 1 but I’m constantly tempted. Do you plan on completing the set?
