Hey guys

Just wondered what people's opinions were on what the best figure is in the ROTF line?

Cheers!

Personally I luuuuurve Brawn. The twin pistols, the rangy build and the successful transformation from bulky long-limbed robot to comparatively compact truck, he's a quality piece.

Aside from him, Leader Prime, Bludgeon, Deluxe Sideswipe and Ransack are all pretty awesome.

Lockdown my personal favourite so far - lovely alt mode, nasty looking bot.

Buster Prime, voyager Megatron, Bludgeon and Ejector also great.

Bludgeon.

Nothing else, IMO.

Brawn's cool, so's Mindwipe. I like just about all the movie designs though...well, except for Wheelie and the Arcee twins/triplets.

I'm expecting my new favorite to be Leader Starscream soon. I can't wait to get him.

The new NEST figures like Brawn, Lockdown, Mindwipe, Skystalker and Bludgeon are so much better than the movie-based ROTF figures it's almost not fair to compare them. I don't even display them together. To me, the NEST figures are a separate (and superior) line.

Bludgeon. To him, the rest of the ROTF line might as well be moving in SLOW MOTION!

Bludgeon is cool but I'd say it's between Mindwipe and Long Haul for me.

by **scattorshot** » Wed May 05, 2010 12:36 pm

The Best?
skystalker imo.

by **ang3l3s** » Wed May 05, 2010 1:31 pm

prime, bludgeon and lockdown hands down.

by **harrogatebantam31** » Wed May 05, 2010 3:28 pm

Leader Prime is awesome. (IMO)

by **The Escape Party** » Wed May 05, 2010 3:43 pm

No takers for Supreme class Devastator then! lol, although some of the custom ones i've seen are pretty cool.

by **Dinoswipe** » Wed May 05, 2010 4:16 pm

i love them all

The Mindwipe-Stalker combo.

Ransack is awesome for his biplane alt mode and skeletal face.

Bludgeon is awesome for every reason there is.

imo, the scouts are some of the best.

I love Mindwipe and Skystalker, but I kinda wish they get rereleased as Dreadwing and Smokescreen from the comic.

Buster OP!

Followed by Long Haul, HA BB, and Skystalker.

And judging from the promo pics, HA Jazz and Leader Starcream (the bot mode, at least) look very promising.

It's all about Bludgeon and (any, preferably Buster, Buster from the 2-pack with Jetfire) Leader Class Prime. Though Mindwipe, Skystalker, and Lockdown rate very highly (read: The Top) of my wishlist of ROTF figures right now.

by **Valandar** » Wed May 05, 2010 9:29 pm

Well...

Leader: Prime. Buster edges the basic release out by a tad, but both are ten times the figure the TFTM Leader Prime was.

Voyager: Oooh. Sort of a triple way tie - Long Haul for the actual movie characters, and then Mindwipe and Bludgeon overall.

Deluxe: Sideswipe and Brawn, though I rather like the Dirge mold, meself, though many don't seem to.

Scout: THE ENTIRE FRICKING LINE (except Scalpel). Honest, the line of Scouts for this movie has possibly been the best set we have had to daye, with the closest to them being the Real Gear sets from TFTM.

I'm gonna say a few that probably not many people do:Rampage, Long Haul, and Deluxe ratchet.
Rampage was my first ROTF figure, and he's just awesome. Long Haul has CLEAR BLADES OF DEATH, unfortunately his vehicle mode is relatively out of scale...
Ratchet is very accurate and decently poseable...and he's a little bigger than BB so he isn't TOO out of scale...

Note that I don't have Leader Optimus...$$$'s tight, and I'm not old enough to work...
On a side note....everyone said Bludgeon and H.A. Barricade were rare....but at my local WalMart there's a bunch of them..odd...

by **Prime Riblet** » Thu May 06, 2010 3:24 am

Brawn is fantastic. Leader Prime is amazing. Lockdown is just about as cool as it gets.

My favorites are Long Haul, Mixmaster, and HA Skids. Awesome figures.

Out of the HA line that I have, Skids is just awesome......even though I like BB and Sideswipe and Barricade's characters better. I really don't like the Skids character, but the HA toy is great.

Long Haul has a too-small alt mode, but both modes are great looking and the transformation is nifty.

Mixmaster is a figure that I hated at first for being so fiddly, but I love that figure now-it has a very interesting transformation and both modes look really good.
