I will throw this out for those of you who grew up with Transformers and GI Joe. I got the email from BBTS about a 25th Anniversary Optimus Prime figure coming out. Now, the question is... who is going to collect the 25th Anni's of the Transformers?? It's going to be harder than hell from a Money standpoint but dammit I am gonna give it the ol' college try. We have already spent MILLIONS on the Joes, but are we going to dive into the Transformers?? I will ONLY IF... THEY ARE WORTH IT!! I would love to have a Sunstreaker or a Wheeljack from back in the day, but I guess let's see how bad Hasbro can possibly mess this up.
Anyone With me??? |

Meh, I've never been too much of a Trans-fan. The robot modes are hardly ever posable enough to display with any kind of flare without being insanely expensive.

I'm all about the original transformers and I will get any figure I don't already own. Thing is we already got a lot of original figures with the 20th anniversary celebration. For example I got the original prime mold from TRU and I also have the Takara book style version so do i really need a 25th anniversary version... not really but if there is a figure they haven't released yet I am all over it.
This also brings into the fact that Takara is doing some awesome releases too, in the last couple of months I've gotten sky Lynx, omega supreme and I can't wait to buy Metroplex. these are all items that i really don't see Hasbro releasing in the states. |

well, i came from Transformers into the Joe 25th line 'cuz of the animated pap that is the main line for the next couple years.
But the Transformer 25th line isn't going to be quite the same 'unified' theme that the Joe line did: they are revisiting various eras under the current Universe brand and adding a 25th anniversary logo. they are currently releasing the "classic series" under the universe logo, and it is essentially G1 redux (the Sunstreaker currently on shelves is possibly one of the best Transformers ever made). next year they are putting out Optimus Prime (G1 Reissue) Hound and Cyclonus (G1 redux), Cheetor (Beast Wars) and Hot Shot (Armada) under the 25th banner, as well as touching on various other series such as Beast Machines and Robots in Disguise in the Robot Heroes series. Transformers really lacks the consistency of Joe from a story standpoint, as they've had so many un-connected and tenuously-connected series. but to answer your question, yes i am, i already have Sunstreaker (ace!), Prowl (ace-but-has-issues), Octane (just "ok") and Silverbolt (pretty cool) from the new Universe line.

I'll atleast get Optimus Prime. I had Prime as a kid, but never really cared much for the Transformers. I used Prime mostly as well...a truck. My Dad drove a red rig looked alot like Prime back then, so it was kinda like having a toy of it.
