Without further ado, click here to vote and tell us which set of galleries YOU would like to see next. The choices you'll get to vote on are as follows:
- BotCon 1994 Breakdown and BotCon 2004 Breakdown
- Grand Maximus, Black Zarak, and Scorponok
- Metroplex, Trypticon, Gigastorm, and Metrotitan
- UK Exclusive Action Master Elites, Turbomasters, and Predators
- Computron, Abominus, Defensor, and Liokaiser
- Overlord, Fangry, Horri-Bull, Squeezeplay, Hosehead, Nightbeat, and Siren
These galleries are all game changers for my collection. Will you get to see me bust open a mint-on-sealed-card BotCon 1994 G2 Breakdown? Will my Black Zarak suffer from gold plastic syndrome? Will I apply the stickers to Metrotitan? Will I open up my remaining sealed UK exclusives? Will I apply the stickers to the gestalts that haven't gotten the gallery treatment? Will I apply Overlord's stickers and transform him for the very first time? The next batch of vintage galleries are up to you to decide!
The choices are pretty awesome for fans of vintage Transformers toys. Make sure you vote in this poll!

With a Fort Max reissue on the way, a BZ reissue with corrected plastic in the next few years doesn't seem that far fetched. The Euro stuff, on the other hand, is extremely unlikely to be reproduced by Hasbro or Takara, thanks to those choking-hazard missiles doubtlessly sold to them by the evil arms dealer that supplied Viper squadron. Of course, if some unscrupulous KO-meister could make some copies before EVERY LAST ONE IN EXISTENCE turns to dust...
A bit off topic: I guess I'd never studied Black Zarak's face since I don't much care for Masterforce or his color scheme vs. Scorpinok's, but does anyone else think there's a strong resemblance to Marvel U.S. Blaster? I mean, if you can't see the ends of his antennae.

But faced with a choice, my vote's going to... Grand Maximus, Black Zarak, and Scorponok!
Mostly due to me wanting to see some of GM's Pretender shell...

I got a total of 194 Transformers and 108 are still factory sealed, yes most of them are pretty common and not rare like the ones you have. Im guessing that the value of your collection to be worth $20,000-$30,000+ and opening them will cause the value to go down. My collection it worth around $7,500.00, but I could never bring myself to open the ones that I have that are still factory sealed. Even though I am jelous that you have soo many rare Transformers, if you were to open some I would be really really careful use an exacto knife so the packaging doesnt tear.
I could have swore Black Zarack was already opened...

I'm pretty sure in the podcast about holy grails he mentioned that it was opened.

It's opened ... that was the only way I would buy it so that I could make sure that the gold plastic was intact.
While the value of my collection is of interest to me (and I hope that 4,000+ Transformers is worth more than $20,000 to $30,000), taking pictures of these toys and creating content for Seibertron.com is of far greater interest to me than the value of sealed boxes. We all deserve awesome galleries of all of these toys. That's what matters most to me.

What would Orpheus do?
Different batches have different deterioration rates, of course. My only experience with GPS is a Talon I bought second hand whose launcher had the peg replaced with metal, but that's more because the pegs are too tiny, right? My Slog, Bristleback, Electro, and Killbison have held up fine, but I know I'm just lucky they all came from good batches. But again, for all we know, GPS could get even worse over time, causing total disintegration in another 10 years, so please do galleries of all the famous sufferers ASAP.

And I, for one, thank you! I would never get to see many of these otherwise - let alone own.
Love the galleries!

My second choice would be those Botcon Breakdowns.

Guess I didnt realize how many Transformers you actually have. So now i guess your collection to be worth well over $175,000. And its good to see that there are some people out there that are willing to share what they have spent their life time collecting. You show us Transformers that we had no idea that they existed. I some day plan to pass my collection to my kids in the future. And when I get a bigger house I'm planning on get a custom display case to I can display all of the different varations of Optimus Prime. Again kudos for sharing your impressive collection.

I was looking through the galleries but couldnt seem to find anything on Movie/Hunt for the Decepticons Firetrap who makes for a nice Brawn.
Is there any chance we could get a mini gallery of this little scout figure (or is it lost within the sub-menus)?
Thanks.

Firetrap is actually an Autobot. I have a half finished gallery of him but wasn't ever able to finish it. It's on my list to complete along with some of the other figures that still haven't got the gallery treatment yet.
I agree with you that he would have made a great Brawn. Thanks for reminding me that I need to finish this gallery. Maybe I'll knock some of these out in the next few months.

I prefer calling him Roadbuster, despite the lighter shades.

Quite frankly I think seeing some of the new Kreo sets would be kewl. Although we're probably getting some more Arms Micron figures in the next galleries. The new Evil Bee' should be coming soon

Ah, I actually can relate. Damn you funny yet tiring photocomic

I agree. It would be awesome to have detailed pics to compare the products in the line. I'm still a little hesitant to start collecting these because I've heard mixed reviews...

I've been noticing a lack of new galleries in the last couple of months. I hope everything is alright with Ryan? I know he had some 'finger fatigue'... Is that still an issue? Or is real life getting in the way?

The G1 Technobots/Computron and Terrorcons/Abominus will be featured soon now that the Terrorcons all got an update thanks to Beast Hunters.
Trypticon, Metroplex, Metrotitan and Gigastorm are on the short list thanks to Generations Metroplex.
FOC Bruticus, FOC G2 Bruticus and Takara Tomy's FOC Bruticus will all get a gallery when Ruination comes out.
The G1 Protectobots probably won't make the cut this year but we'll see. Defensor is my favorite G1 Gestalt alongside Menasor so I don't expect him to be too far down the road. Just need some major motivation to do his gallery (as in a proper Generations style Defensor).

First should be the Wreckers, since they've been long overdue. BotCon should be next, followed by Beast Hunters Ultimate Optimus.
