Oooooh, that's a hard one, but an excellent question. Give me a few as I have so many memories, reasons and moments with each of them. As I've said many times before, Prime figures are why I now have a room full of Transformers and in that room they have the most exalted shelf to themselves.D-Maximal_Primal wrote:In retrospect, which one is your favorite and why?
I agree, Prime was the first line I went completionist on (other than movies).carytheone wrote:Oooooh, that's a hard one, but an excellent question.

Probably Wheeljack. And more specifically the Dark Energon one. Because I'm a dirty whore for translucent plastic. I just really like the character design. The transformation is quick, smooth, and intuitive. and, SWORDS!!!D-Maximal_Primal wrote:In retrospect, which one is your favorite and why?

Well I am Australian. It's kinda what we're known for.

A lot of it for me is the fond memories and then the toys are just so damn good. Even when you compare FE vs standard retail, each has their own strong points. I also forgot about BH figures - fudge......D-Maximal_Primal wrote:I agree, Prime was the first line I went completionist on (other than movies).carytheone wrote:Oooooh, that's a hard one, but an excellent question.

It is hard to narrow it down from all those toys, there are some really good ones. BH Wheeljack, Sharkticon Megatron, the Vehicon, BH Magnus, all really good toys
Ah yes WJ is good and I have both version of the mold. He was one of my first if not first, either him or CliffyJ (standard).Cobotron wrote:Probably Wheeljack.

Second would probably be Knock Out. Love his tight little transformation, and both modes are neat. Of course him being repurposed into Bluestreak Bloddy Knock Out doesn't hurt.
Prime really never struck deep with me. Came in a time of my life where great change was happening and that's where my focus fell. That being said my most favorite toys from Prime were Cyberverse (the original use of the name). Those are some toys I will never consider selling off.
OM never appealed to me, but I did get the cyberverse figure and it's pretty cool. I have WJ's Jackhammer at a legends scale. I still haven't figure out a good way to display it though. I'd love to pull off some type of forced perspective thing, but just haven't taken the time to try and figure it out.D-Maximal_Primal wrote:Did you ever get any of the vehicles or Optimus Maximus?

I even dabbled in the Movie Cyberverse stuff just because I love that kind of scale and play environment so much.
Sky Hammer! Hands down.D-Maximal_Primal wrote:Which vehicle was your favorite?

The Movie Arc is pretty fun too.
I had a hard time and had to force myself to commit. Those are some interesting choices. I put most of the BH stuff pretty far down on the list. The only exceptions are Ultra Magnus and Shockwave, but let's be honest, they don't really count as BH figures. They were both just late to market and got shoe-horned in with some BH like stuff to wear to dinner parties.D-Maximal_Primal wrote:And Cary, i don't think I can narrow down the prime line to 1 definitive favorite. Sharkticon Megatron and BH Wheeljack might top it, but it's a very narrow race
Was that in the Prime line or just movie cyberverse? I heard the good things, probably from you.Cobotron wrote:The Movie Arc is pretty fun too.

I DID! I let him stay, and a few friends to keep him company. But the time has come I'm afraid. I must make space.D-Maximal_Primal wrote:Cobotron wrote:You know I'm not a movie fan, but that is one of my most favorite OP toys of all time.Ironhidensh wrote:Every time I see one (including my own copy on the Prime shelves), I'm amazed at how well that '07 Leader class movie Prime holds up.
That one is my favorite Transformers toy, period! You should let that one stay

Remember, I'm not selling anything at the moment. Just sending them to the deep freeze.
If I get a hankerin' I know where to find him.
Edit: I do wish I had that awesome Night Moves version you have D.

His legs are always loose. Even my TAV re-re-re-release is loose.Burn wrote:Did you have any problems with Lockdowns legs being loose?
Do you mean in his hips? Then yes. But, it doesn't keep him from standing or holding a pose.Burn wrote:Did you have any problems with Lockdowns legs being loose?
Oh, let's not get dramatic now Z. They're just going in some bins for a while. Not being burned at the stake, or sent to the smelter.ZeroWolf wrote:Poor animated, that show and toyline still never gets the respect it deserves.
I had had the thought that this is one Soundwave you should have in your shrine. Speaking of loose legs though, he is a loose goose, but by far one of my favorite not-a-tape-deck SW designs ever. Plus Laserbeak guitar!!!!carytheone wrote:Those pics reminds me of another Soundwave I need to pick up
