It's a very interesting question, good job Jetty!

I guess what influences my Transformer collection is a nostalgia factor... I grew up with the show and toys and comics, so it has a special place in my memories. I think what first awoke that was seeing Armada Unicron in toy form, I remember thinking "Holy crap! They finally released this guy? How can I say no to that, I always wanted him as a child!" And with the Classics/Universe/Generations toys they've been releasing for the last few years, I saw a chance to complete a collection that I would have wanted as a kid, with all my favourite characters.

I've branched into other toylines like GI Joe Renegades and Lego, and TF sub-lines like Alternators and PCC, just because I find aesthetically pleasing to have on display. But my main collection will always be Transformers and for that reason.
