Do you have your favorite character's figure?

I was just wondering if anyone has their favorite character(s) toy? And if so, what model(s)?
Quickstrike: Yes. I did some repainting on him to make him look cooler.
Rampage: Not yet.
Trying to get him!
Tarantulas: Transmetal, I just ordered. Still planning on getting the original too.
Waspinator: No, well I'm getting Buzzsaw, I just ordered him. Which is the Japanese version of Waspy, so kinda. Still going to try to get his 'actual' figure though.
Depth Charge: I had him, but lost him somewhere in my house. But will try to get him too! Because he's missing his weapons and a robot leg. He can't fight Rampage in that condition. lol.
Inferno: Ordered him. (Watching the first season over, I really am starting to like him.Mostly because he's a PYRO
)

hmm.. The only BW toys I had was ones given to me by friends (without me wishing for them so it was a very nice gesture). BW wise I only had TM2 Megs and TM2 BlackArachnia. I liked TM2 BAs appearance much better than the original yellow and black look, but unfortunately she lost that spunk that made her appealing earlier in the show. At the end she was mostly just a mushy-Silverbolt-smooching shadow of her old self. Aside from the last 5 minutes of the very final episode of BM, I never touched that show, so I don't know what happens there. Heard she got even worse though.
TM2 Megatron was awesome, albeit I never transformed him out of the dragon mode. He just sat on a shelf until I moved and quite frankly I'm not sure where he or BA went since then. There's a distinct chance my parents sold/gave away/threw out the remaining toys I left behind.

Depth Charge! I used to have his figure until I gave it away to the kid I used to baby sit.

I bought Silverbolt about a year and a half ago. He actually is a very cool toy. He has strong joints, a nice paint job, and an effective, convincing robot and beast form.

Absolutely!
I have the first season Beast Wars Primal, both the blue TransMetal version and the purple TransMetal mispaint, two Optimal Optimus's, two of the smaller Beast Machines Primals, the RiD Air Attack Primal, Universe Primal, 10th Anniversary (set with Megs), a Galaxy knock-off Primal, a Clear Convoy version of the first season BW Primal, the Titanium Optimal Optimus figure, the Heroes of Cybertron little Primal figure, and a smaller version of first season BW Primal. I don't think it's the single 10th anniversary one because he looks just like the big first season toy from 1996, just in a smaller scale. I think that's it. Can't remember because they've been in storage for a few years now. I also have an Apelinq which is like a siver version of TransMetal Primal, so not sure if that counts.
Megatron is my all time favorite villian so I have the first season Beast Wars Megs, both the purple TransMetal version and the pink TransMetal mispaint (teehee! pink), and TransMetal 2. I don't think I have anything with him from Beast Machines. I almost bought a Cryotek last year at TFCon but it would't have fit in my luggage, and I thought wiser to save my money than spend it.
For Rattrap I have the first season Beast Wars, the red TransMetal and the Japenese pink mispaint and the Wal-Mart blue repaint versions (and was there a Fox Kids version? Can't remember anymore), and the Beast Machines Rattrap.
I have Inferno (a must!). The same thing happend to me, DS!
I only have TransMetal 2 Dinobot, not the original.
You know what's really hard to find? Shokorat (sp?). I would love one of those, too, like Cyrotek. Impossible to find. Sigh. And they're expensive.
I think that covers my favorites. I really should take photos of my collection some time!! I dread how long it would take for me to break them out of their storage boxes and put them back away. LoL

I have almost all of my favorites actually! Quickstrike, Dinobot 2, Depth Charge, Rampage, Tarantulas (TM), Waspinator, Inferno, Rattrap (TM)... However, I don't have my absolute favorite! Airazor! I have her TM version, but it just isn't the same!

Airazor
Really? I have the original!
I have Inferno (a must!). The same thing happend to me, DS!
I want to get Scavenger, who is pretty much the TM version of Inferno.
I want to try to get my favorites first, then try for the whole cast. I feel like I'm going to be spending lots of $$
lol.

Sorry. :p But you have Rampage, and I'm jealous. I am starting to buy toys, I think I saw the original on some site... *goes to look*

I don't have the original Airazor either; just the TM version. I also don't have Tigatron, which I still regret to this day because I remember like it was yesterday when K-Mart was stocked with tons of Tigatrons but I wasn't really into him as much as the other characters at the time and he slipped right out of my hands. I don't have the original Dinobot, Scorponok, Waspinator, and Blackarachnia (original or TM2). DS, you've inspired me to go search for these guys sometime in the future because I'd like to have the entire cast from the show as well.

Heh. The question for me isn't whether I have my favorite character's figure, it's how many of him I have.
And the answer is Lugnut, and 8 (Animated, Japanimated, McDonald's Animated, Atomic, United, and Reveal the Shield versions-- 2 of the latter with 1 MISB because of the explanation of the P.O.K.E.'s meaning on the side of the box). Also getting in the mail the Reprolabels for the Reveal the Shield toy I opened, because the Reprolabels for him have P.O.K.E. stickers.

I forgot again. I DO have a Tigatron. Ugh, that's the second time I've forgotten that. I guess it's because I was without one for so long, and I don't have any on display that I just can't keep track anymore. ...Not that I have even a fraction of what Beastbot has.
I can't imagine having as many TFs as that!

Well, technically if you have at least 1 TF, you DO have a
fraction of what I have...
