Whilst staring wistfully at the meagre collection of gaudy-plastic action figures that adorn the shelves of my spare bedroom, I felt that the time with the majority of my Transformers was coming to an end. While I love my Animated toys, I can't imagine holding onto them forever; save for a scant few that particularly caught my fancy.
It looks like I'll be sticking a lot of 'em up on Ebay - clearing up vital real estate on those shelves. A thought worked its way from my second brain, up through my spine and into my conscious mind:
What would I replace them with?
I looked around on eBay, until I realised that I was mostly looking at Aquatic based Transformers. All the sharks, fish and other sea-based tat is now well within my remit. I'm starting completely from scratch, other than a Sky-byte and Cybershark.
First stop is getting a Seacon set - but my good friends of the Hub - what's next? You are all adept at wheedling out TF history and characters I've probably never heard of. Which ones come to your mind? It might also be a fun exercise - unlikely, but who knows?

Oooh totally Depth Charge. Magmatron's a good shout, also.
I'm not sure whether I'll include boats/seafaring vessels - this is something I must mull over.

For the life of me, I couldn't remember what Dead End was. I was determined to remember without resorting to the 'net. Ach well.
How could I forget LONGTOOTH? I don't even own one!

A frighteningly expensive looking checklist is being created. I aim to get about £10-11 for my current collection - so that'll be a nice balance.

TFU doesn't like having their pictures hotlinked so I've fixed it with a link to the page.
