Black hole. Nice. I loved that movie as a kid but because it was a bit of a cult classic it was years until I actually knew the name of it so I could re-visit it. Definitely worth a re-watch.
My transformers collecting has been fairly recent. When the pandemic started I had disposable income and nowhere to spend it so I bought the 35th anniversary Megatron on clearance thinking I'd just get a Optimus Prime and be done. Well I think I'm up to 35 figures now.
It's the first line(s) where I feel they are making a legit attempt to be show/film accurate without some sort to stylized re-imagining. I feel like kingdom and studio series 86 finally nailed it and the earthrise figures can be hit or miss. I started collecting at the tail end of earthrise so I need to go back and fill in to get what I want. I've gotten all the beast wars principal cast released thus far except that stupid amazon exclusive terrorsaur and I'm in the process of building a diorama for them. I also want to do a season 3/ movie diorama, the quintession courtroom scene, the dinobots and a season 1/2 scene. Unfortunately I've got to put up shelves to make more room.
I've got all the studio series 86 stuff as well (except star scream.... I'm not paying an extra 20 bucks for hands that open and a plastic throne I'll never use). The dinobots are especially impressive. I'm waiting patiently for Sludge to be released. I've also got a feeling that studio series exo suit spike is going to be hard to find. I know it took me forever to find a rat-trap at retail and you'd think nobody would want a cruddy core class figure that much.
The big challenge thus far is trying to get some of those store exclusives from earthrise. The seekers are still reasonably priced but the coneheads are sky high. You can forget about ironhide and ratchet.
