Hey All - My First post!!

For me it has to be:

Deluxe: Jolt - I waited forever to find this guy.

Voyager: Long haul - I waited even longer to find this, just got him last week!

Other Mentions: I find myself always going back to Deluxe Soundwave, Voyager OP, Voyager Starscream, and Voyager Demolishor.

Cannot wait for Legends Devastator, then I can feel that my collection is complete.

Welcome aboard!

I'm glad I'm not the only one who likes Jolt. He seems to get no love, and he's got a really wicked robot mode, that pictures do zero justice for. Guillermo Del Toro is calling, and he wants Pan back for a sequel! Now with electro-whips!

Leader Op takes the top spot (and I have the black Japan DVD version coming soon)

Voyager: Megatron is actually kinda cool. Serious back-kibble, but a much better incarnation than the Leader counterpart. And While I appreciate voyager Starscream for the ingenuity of the transform, I just don't like the character design.

Deluxe: Has to be Sideswipe, but I just got G1 colored Soundwave and I like him a lot too. Those are 2 I keep messing with.

I can't wait for this. It's probably one of the best repaints in this line so far. Hefty premium with S/H to the US, but it's worth it.

Overall--Devastator!

Leader: Jetfire
Voyager: Long Haul

Except those goddamn red tabs on the chest.

He would be the best figure ever if not for those.

Don't forget the arm blade gimmicks.

I can live with that, actually. I almost always have them deployed, so it isn't a big deal.

True. But those niggles aside, he is outstanding. He is a gloriously accurate representation of OP in the movie. It's impressive, really. I like the swords more than I dislike them, but the chest tabs are a bit unruly I will admit.

legends : EZ devastator
Scout : Dune Runner
Deluxe : Sideswipe & Jolt
Voyager : Mixmaster & Longhaul (waiting to see Bludgeon)
HA : Sideswipe (tied with incoming HA Barricade)
Leader : buster OP

I only have dune runner, deluxe & HA sideswipe & mixmaster, so there are so much to catch from the list :lol:

I don't have many but I'll go for Legends Sideswipe, Scout Dirtboss and Deluxe Jolt (whom I don't yet own but have recently become fascinated by). Brawn is looking good and I'm seriously considering Mindwipe.

close call, but either devastator or jetfire. both are great, but devastator wina out by a tiny bit. he is more detailed, and ANY tranformer that has 6 altmodes, seperate or otherwise, is an engineering marvel. Bravo, Hasbro! :APPLAUSE:

Of the current ROTF toys that I own:

Legends: Do not currently own one
Scout: Dune Runner
Deluxe: Sideswipe
Voyager: Mixmaster
Human Alliance: Skids
Leader: Optimus Prime

However, with the exciting arrival of upcoming toys, probable usurpers as favorites may be:

Legends: Arcee? Honestly, I'm only getting her and Wheelie in this class, unless the other biker sisters get legends toys too.
Deluxe: Brawn. I really like Sideswipe, but Brawn may become my new favorite ROTF deluxe. I'll have to get him first.
Voyager: Mindwipe
Human Alliance: Barricade
Leader: Starscream. I really like Prime, but for some reason I just think I will like the Starscream leader even more.

I think my favourote ROTF figure is Deluxe Desert Brawl.

Were it not for the shoulder issue, then the original green version from the first line would have been fantastic. Now the issue's been fixed, and the little guy doesn't get enough credit, because he's a repaint.

The transformation is so cool - the way the robot parts are packed into every conceivable space in the tank is great. It's a great piece of design and engineering, now finally perfected thanks to the improved shoulders.

Other gems are Leader Prime (all versions), Voyager Starscream, Scout Ransack and HA Bumblebee.

leader Starscream
voyager Longhaul
voyager Megatron
