Ok, piping up for this one...
1. Hot Rod. Probably the toy I wanted most as a child. And I got him for what I'm guessing was my 6th or 7th birthday. Even after I broke him, he remained my favourite. I named my first pet after him - yes, my porn star name would be 'Hot' Rod Gilbert...
2. Galvatron. Got him unexpectedly one christmas, which was a nice surprise. Gotta be one of the best articulated G1 toys. And as my main exposure to Transformers fiction growing up was the comic, he was even the right colours. And my reissue shouts randomly in japanese.
3. Menasor. I remember spending all my christmas money on the giftset, and was not disappointed. And what's not to love about a team of sports cars with psychological issues led by a violent bully that combine to form a giant, uncontrollable robot with arguments raging in his head.
