The rest of the sentence comes from what I was initially going to write which was: It<s not like they are remaking all the guys from classics again and the first few I listed were all getting remade (Cyclonus, Rodimus, Prowl and Ironhide). So I thought it would be a bit comedic. Nothing aimed at you.
No worries.
If any mocking had been involved, I had interpreted it as a playful sort, so no offence was at any time inferred.

So best non generations classics toys. Aside from Megatron (nerf gun), Optimus, Grappel, Lugnut, Deepdive, Cyclonus and Strafe, I cant think of too many.
Well, I don't know if I can get to it in until after this weekend, as I shall be pretty busy until then with both Passover and Easter to contend with. But perhaps I shall try to make a list in the near future.
Of course, such a list will have to be the start of a new thread, a "Top 'Classics' Style Figures" thread. (I suppose for convenience, I could use that "CHUG" term, even though I hate it.)
Also, kind of a sucky time to make such a list, as there are some great looking figures on the horizon and (unlike some here, who I already see putting Devastator or Defensor in their lists) I won't rank a figure I don't have personal experience with...
Maybe I could wait until after the summer, when I'll at least have been able to get my hands on Superion and Defensor? It would be nice to be able to see if I would like to include those two and/or any of their component members.
Of course, there will be some obvious potential gaps, as I would limit such a list to official figures. But in some cases (such as for Devastator or Menasor) I feel I shall be content to stay with the third party option I already have.* Thus, those would be unable to appear on my list.
Also, while I exclude complete figures from third parties, some of my official figures do have their potential ranking enhanced by third party additions or modifications. Do I rank them based on how I have them now, or based on how I remember feeling about the base figure? A conundrum.
But yes... I suppose such a list from me may someday be possible...
* I may be against third parties covering figures already done by Hasbro, but if a third party version has been acquired into my collection before the official one has been announced, and if the official one doesn't feel as if it will "wow" me, I don't feel compelled to replace what I already have.
