Voyager Class Optimus Prime is the only ROTF toy i bought. Other than that, i think the rest of them are ugly. I would'nt have even bought the VC Prime, but it was cheap.

Now, the alt modes, like the cars, planes, and etc....those are awesome, but the robot modes, its just an acquired taste I just don't have.

Leader Buster Prime, hands down for me.

Not too far behind... a lot of the NEST figs: Bludgeon, Lockdown (<3), Mindwipe, Recon Ironhide.

^ All of these are must-haves to me.

Bludgeon, Mindwipe, Long Haul.

I see some of you mention deluxe Sideswipe. He's a gorgeous figure, that's for sure, but mine absolutely refuses to stand. If I do manage to get him precariously balanced, the vibrations of people walking in the room will cause him to topple over with an hour or two.

I think a lot of the off-screen characters are pure win.

I just don't like the designs that were used in the movie that much.

If I have to pick one, I like Lockdown a LOT.
Bludgeon, Skystalker (the stealth bomber) and his minion and quite a few of the Scout class guys are really awesome too.

Mine arrived in the post yesterday (on sale at £50.00 from Tesco Direct) and I actually really like it, however lack of individual bot modes is a real let-down.

So I'll stick with Leader Prime!

Deluxe Ravage is the best for me.

Deluxe Soundwave was a big disappointment however.

So far I have almost every ROTF figure. At least half of them are unopened including Mixmaster, Grindor.

ROTF got me back into collecting Transformers. My favorites are:

1: HA Skids - Hands down the best single figure
2 and 3: Leader Prime Combined with Jetfire
3: Brawn - such a nice figure combined into a Deluxe, just picked this one up today actually after reading this post initially.
4: HA Barracade

Some notible ones are all of the HA line, truely amazing figures in my opinion. Ransack is a great scout. I haven't opened my Mixmaster and I don't have Bludgeon yet but those look amazing as well.

Disappointments

Voyager Ironhide - he's great, but his upperchest/neck is way to bulky and he can't stand up due to his pos legs. Looking forward to Deluxe Ironhide.

Leader and Voyager Megatron - if you took out bad parts and to each and combined all the good parts, you would definately have a good #1 or 2 favorite. Leader Megs is just not screen accurate, I bought a second one a few weeks ago and I'm working on modding it, it'll be my first ever mod and hoping it turns out ok.

I think you got a bad one. I've been playing with my 07 version since it first came out and he's still great. Here are pics of him in poses.

Good luck. I did work on my leader and now he's really cool. Check it out here.

Dude, first off, you do some amazingly great repaints. Serious top notch. I can't stop staring at them because I keep finding more and more details. Just awesome.

I agree that it must be a bum Ironhide. I have 3 of that mold and absolutely love it. The first one I bought was the Off Road version from 07. I have transformed that sucker too many times to count and have had no problems at all with it. I actually rank it high on my all-time favorite TFs-I seriously like it that much. I also have the 07 Premium and RoTF Recon versions, and I still might get the ugly gray mold from the TF2 line........probably pass on that though. I just don't like the gray. I might if I find it super cheap.
