Hmmm many...

Deluxe Movie Ironhide, liked him much more than I tought I would.

PRID Optimus Prime. Apart from the crappy weapon and no paint on the chest, he's very nice.

Generations Thunderwing and Cliffjumper (WFC)

HftD Highbrow (Excellent figure, great alt mode. The arms are a bit weird, but if displayed with the propellors as his hands, he looks great.)
HftD Tomahawk (I figured I would like it, but didn't realize just how much, especially once I customized one to look like a pre-Beast Wars Waspinator.)

Hmmm...

It's been awhile, but my bro sold me a G1 Dogfight he got in a lot. It's G1, so there's nothing special about the articulation or transformation. However, I love the figure! Just a simple solid figure with a good sculpt and fun gimmick that really works.

Universe Heavy Load(the yellow Quickmix repaint). Well I never got Quickmix, and Heavy Load was $10, and he was a very pleasant surprise. Solid in both modes, and I really like the look.

Beast Machines Optimus Primal(tons of transluscent blue plastic one). He's not show
accurate, and the gimmick on the arm is dumb, but he's nicely articulated and I like the transformation.

Hunt for the Decepticons Insecticon. I love this figure. A very cool looking insect and a well articulated four armed robot mode with a good looking head. And he's got wings in robot mode, always a plus.

Sea Attack Ravage(ROTF). Got him shortly after DOTM Laserbeak, Hatchet, and Insecticon cause I had to complete the animals(already had Scorponok). Gotta admit, he's a lot better than I thought. I wish the head was jointed and the legend has a better vehicle mode, but I do like the detail on the figure.

It was HFTD Ironhide (DLX) for me, as there was a 3 for the price of 2 at the shop, the only one I had to choose that I didn't already have or want was Ironhide. Now everyone also mentioned how cool he was but I just didn't like this guy. But when I brought him back, boy was I surprised, I really liked him and also when Peaugh did a video on how to store his weapon in vehicle mode, I liked it even more. Surprised indeed!

I just received and tried my new Alternators Skids.
I was expecting just your standard run-off-the-mills Alternators.

Man, that thing have a perfect vehicle mode, obviously, but the robot mode dont dissapoint at all! The kibble is kept to a minimum. Even the backpack is well implemented. The transformations is complex enough without being frustrating. He have a very G1 look with the posabitily of a modern figure.

So far, he's the BEST alternator in my oppinion among the ones I own, meaning Shockblast, Optimus Prime, Windcharger, and Hound.

HFTD Lockdown.

To me, animated Lockdown was just an amazing toy, and I figured I didn't need another one, but it was there, and I had the cash, so whatever.

I opened him up, and the car mode, admittedly, started to grow on me, spikes and all.

But when I transformed him, I proceeded to realize, that this was the most heavy metal bastard decepticon pirate renegade in the history of transformers! He's so bloody awesome! I wish I still had oilslick (Unfortunate accident) they would be my pirates to go with the upcoming Thundertron.

Another one for me would be PRiD Cliffjumper
I settled for him because at the time I had no way to get th FE one, but I just love this guy to pieces. Really well proportioned, and nice paint detail overall, fun transformation, and awesome hammer-gun.

Probably PRiD Knock Out. I was gonna buy him regardless, but I didn't expect to find him this incredible. Perhaps I'm biased by the fact that it took me ages to finally get my hands on one, but......whatever I guess

RtS legends Optimus, Megatron and Starscream.

I'm not a fan of the legends class, but they looked neat and I found them for slightly cheaper than normal at TJ Maxx, so I decided to give them a shot. Absolutely loved their transformations and how they looked in both forms. Can't say that about any other legends class figure I've purchased.


PRID Ratchet was another. I wasn't overly fond of the pictures I was seeing, but he's Ratchet and I at least wanted the main cast in the line. Even though he lacks a lot of paint apps I still found myself really very please with how me looked in person and his posability is amazing. That said, I have order the reprolabels, but I only did so because I was ordering Knockout's and thought "why not." They'll just jazz him up a bit more. I wouldn't have gotten them if it hadn't been for KO.

2007 Leader Class Nightwatch Optimus Prime. I really didn't like the mold, as I thought it was too bulky and the fact that it wasn't screen-accurate was a big turn off. I still don't like the original, but the color scheme for Nightwatch is pretty cool. I spotted an auction on eBay for 1 that was missing its gun and a smokestack had broken off. I put a what-the-hell bid on it, and ended up winning it for $2 and shipping. After 10 days, I received it, and I am impressed. This figure is actually pretty cool-looking on the shelf, very imposing. Looks great next to DotM Sentinel Prime. I'm glad I bought it, it's a very nice Prime figure.
