Like a lot of others who replied, it is hard to choose a single figure, but I think my favorite is Bumblebee. I grew up on G1 and always wanted a figure like this.
A close second is Botcon Springer. I love the character and while he's not a triple changer, the new alt mode fits him perfectly, IMO.
I include figs from other lines in with my Classics, but only if they have the right look and blend in well. Anyone else do this? For example, Music Label Soundwave, 2005 Botcon Ironhide, Energon Downshift (Wheeljack), etc. I'd be curious to see what figs everyone else includes....
Best Classics?

Kinda off topic here, but I'm going to buy tigerhawk, depth charge, and megatron complete for $40 priority shipped. The guy is also selling mirage for 4 bucks, should I pick him up? The guys not a fake, I've bought other stuff from him tooo, So what do you guys think?

They are all good. Let's just say my least favorite is Cliffjumper.

The gun is Raiden's.
You can buy a new Cliffjumper Head here:

Remember to keep the eyes from your old CJ head as you reuse them on the new head.
Here's a thread with more pics:

Direct replacement. Pop the old head off the ball joint and pop the new one on. Superb, professional looking sculpt. Can't recommend it enough.

Because of the head. I agree. I was really disappointed Hasbro didn't bother to modify his head sculpt.
Aside from that, my CJ came with a broken arm-door. I had to fix it myself. And the plastic is obviously too cheap compared to his twin Bumblebee. I don't know why. Is it because he was produced later than BB?

I picked up Ramjet and Jetfire. The Jetfire is one of the coolest TF's I've gotten in a while.

Perhaps I should start a new thread with all the Classics Cliffjumper Head information, pics and where to buy them so everyone who wants one can buy one?

Well in my case the fact that I'm UK based and he's only shipping within the US is a bit of a bugbear. I've just signed up over there to message him and see if we can work something out, and I'm pretty sure that I can pick up US$ money orders at a UK post office, although I'll need to check on the specifics of that. A couple of those would be great though. As well as doing Cliffjumper it would give me a bit of incentive to make Tapout and Glyph as well.

A classics Tapout is a GREAT idea actually, I never thought of that one.
If you can't work something out, I'm sure you could just get someone here in the US to buy it for one that is picking up a CJ head already.

At the very least it would give me something to do with the grey interior parts when I swap them out for the black ones from a Bumblebee.

I think you should. Many collectors are always looking at how to solve this CJ problem.
Pls paste a link here if you do.
