Masterpieces. They are the adult collectable versions of the most recognizable characters. They have the best bot modes, best alt modes, best detailing, best all-around everything. If you are trying to best capture a TF character, these are the way to go.

MP Prime. Probably the best TF toy ever made or ever will be made.

Hard question. I have 4 contenders.

R.I.D Prime
R.I.D Megatron
Armada Supercon (bendy) Prime. When will they reissue him?

Generations Darkmount

Out of that list, it's probably Darkmount.

Lotta Bendy Prime and Black Convoy love in this thread. I like the way you guys think.
That being said, Transmetal Megatron. GPS issues aside, one of my alltime favourite Transformers of any generation.
In case anyone was wondering, pre-1995 the award goes to God Ginrai: The Brick of Total Destruction. For a toy with such limited posability, the play value is through the roof.

Earlier I posted Alternators Mirage. I have to take that back....

MP Grimlock. I abolutely, completely love that figure. I got him a few weeks ago, and just now started messing around with it. My Gawd, that figure is seriously good. It is almost unreal how amzing he looks in both modes. His bot mode proportions are outstanding, and he looks tough as nails (as he should). People, I'm not a very big Grimlock fan at all, but this figure is just about everything I want in a figure. I really can't say enough good things about it. I know it isn't perfect, and I know it has a few issues that some people would rather it didn't have, but I freaking love it.

That would have been my choice as well, but I don't consider MP pieces toys. They're for display only. I have Prime and Grimlock, and I put them up on a shelf where they will stay until they're joined by Rodimus Prime AND Hot Rod. I agree with everything you've said about Grimlock, and my favorite gimmick is the light-up weapons. His sword looks bad-f**kin'-ass in the dark.

MP Grimlock = Total WIN.

I can see your point as well. MP Transformers are display pieces compared to other lines. As far as a Tranformer that was totally intended as a toy and nothing more, I would probably have to pick Classics Mirage. That figure looks awesome in both modes and the transformation is intesting. He is also poseable. Very good figure all around.

I don't want to include the Alternators line for the same reasons as stated above. They are display pieces as well. That is my favorite line though besides the Masterpiece line.

As far as MP Grimlock is concerned, he is =Total Win. I should have bought three of the Hasbro version; one for bot mode, one for t-rex mode, and one to play with!

My Toys R Us still has a bunch of them on the shelves...

I'm thinking about buying a second one for Dino mode. Though my blue G2 Grimlock is in Dino mode...

Transmetals Optimus Primal. Man, that guy is so cool. Optimal Optimus rocks, but he's a bit too clunky to be my favorite. No matter what happens to it, I am keeping my TM Optimus Primal. Luckily, nothing has because of its super durable 90s plastic.
