G1 Reissue Megatron.

Wasn't long in2 collecting when I got him. He never looked great in pics but I always loved the character.

His arms aren't the stumps I thought they were. He's a menacing figure befitting the character. Love the sword.

To top it all off, he's banned in certain countries. Makes him the most badass supervillain ever.

Ditto. I just bought him out of impulse, and now I can't put him down! The best out of all my 9 other Bumblebees(yes... NINE.)

MP Ghost Starscream. looking at the MP Seeker mold in stores and such always seemed to push me away from it. there was just something i didnt like about it, then the Ghost version went on sale at TF Source, so i ordered it and was actually pleased with the figure

DOTM Skyhammer. Generally I loathe the movies and everything associated with them, but from ROTF onward there were a small number of gems I indulged in, but Skyhammer in particular had me teetering on the fence and I ultimately said no... then my bro went and picked one up anyway and I loved him.

Also Highbrow... kinda. Didn't even give him a second thought, but he got purchased at some point anyway and I still didn't care... then I transformed him and he was cool, but not cool enough not to put in the "things I don't have shelves for" box.

It's FunPub. It's their specialty.

I'm a killjoy, and proud of it!
don't take that to mean I'm a killjoy just because I can be, though...

I kept passing him up because he looked so bland. I finally caved in and bought him. No regrets!

DOTM Skids
I Love the twins, but DOTM Skids waa a real surprise. He's VERY sturdy in both modes, and the placement of mechtech holes is genius.

Nitro BB. He's just awesome.

There are more, but not right now.

Figure I thought I'd like but end up HATING with a passion: DotM target Exclusive Voyager Starscream.
Opaque red plastic for the eyes and cockpit over the clear one (variant, I know, shut up)... Elbows bend the wrong way... Hands sticking out of the jet's butt because they don't fold like the outdated manual tell you.
I was not disapointed. I RAGED!

Figure I bought on a whim just to see and I ended up LOVING it: Marvel Crossover Ironman Car.
Sure, totally lacking paint aps. Simple desing. I wanted to have at least ONE X-over figure and chose him. I paid the full 22$+tax price too. I thought I would have buyer remorse.
Man, was I wrong! The vehicle, even with poor paints aps, have a solid desing. The transformation is easy and a lot of fun. What's more, the robot mode is also nice looking. The bad reviews surprised me. This is a TF I like and it actually impressed me!

Not sure if "loving" is the right word, but I really like PRID Cliffjumper.

When Takara announced they were going to release zombie CJ in a purple color scheme, I decided to cave in and get PRID Cliff to custom into a proper zombie mode.

Now, FE Cliff IMO is superior in every way. Paint, transform, lack of "cheats" like the chest. But man, there is no denying the PRID mold is just fun. I really like his back kibble situation a lot better, and his leg transform is cool.

I actually may get a second to custom up into a dwarf-bot. His diminutive size, war hammer and horns make it almost too much to ignore.

Universe Snowcat. Can't say I love it, but it's become more acceptable as time passed. I got it as a gift, so I can't really complain.

Couldn't stand his potbelly alt mode at first, but gradually I came to appreciate his good articulation, and the gimmicks with his missile launchers and skis were kind of cool.
