The Top 5 Most Wanted G1 Transformer Toys
- 1) Optimus Prime - He is the face of the Transformers franchise. He is the leader of the autobots. The Original G1 Optimus Prime transformed from a robot to a cab over semi truck. Fans of the show and toy line have always paid top dollar for a G1 Optimus Prime action figure. Just recently a non-graded, but sealed Optimus Prime sold for over $1220.
2) Megatron – The leader of the decepticons. He is just as iconic as Optimus Prime is. His weapon, which is what he also transformed into, was an arm-mounted cannon. The original toy could be used to fire small plastic pellets. This feature was taken out when it was made for the international market. Just recently a Megatron with an AFA grade 80 just recently sold for $2050.
