Holy crap. There have been 68 unique Optimus Prime toys released between 1984 and 2007. Not surprisingly, “Optimus Prime” is the most reused name in the Transformers universe, followed by Megatron (44), Bumblebee (29), and Starscream (27).

I’m sure I have more Optimus Primes than any other name/character in my collection, but I’m also sure that I don’t have anywhere near 68 of him. Maybe 20?

Happy new year!  (And hopefully more on that soon!)

While I’m usually not a fan of any non-transforming Transformers (kinda defeats the point, don’t you think?), I think the Robot Heroes are great.  They’re just so cute and cuddly!  Okay, maybe not cuddly.

I have most if not all of the G1 ‘bots (read: NOT the movie characters), and it looks like more are coming!  I’ll probably pass on the Beast Wars characters, though.  They’re not real Transformers!
