movie prime leader, looks cool, nice transformation, very good articulation, dont own it yet but i will...

I have to dsiagree with the people who say MP Megatron is the best of the year.I'd say he's the biggest disappointment. Mine has broken so many times, I'm afraid to touch it and he is one of the most difficult figures to get to stand. I have gotten very little enjoyment out of him. He looks nice on display, but fails in every other aspect.

Now for my choices of best of '07.

'08 BB. This figure came way out of left field. No one expected it. He has the size and price point of a deluxe, but the possibility and detail of a leader.

Leader Prime: When I first saw the movie designs, I said there was no way that it could ever transfer well to a toy. I was wrong. It's perfect. Transformation is complex, yet fun.The figure is highly detailed in both modes and has tons of possibility.

Figures I expect to put on the list once they come out:

Leader Brawl: He may be an insignificant character in the movie, but I think that toy looks amazing.

MP Starscream(US Release) I expect the QC problems to be fixed with the US release. Plus, he looks perfect in those colors. I saw him in person at BotCon. He looked amazing.

Alternators Rodimus. Hasbro took the already awesome KP Rodimus mold and put a more Hot Rod like color scheme on him. He isn't just a mirage repaint like I expected, he is actually a re-tool. I can't wait to get this guy in the mail.

There is no way any of the move deluxes are the best transformers ever.

If you start a thread asking peoples opinion, but thell them there opinions are wrong, then I will have to lock this topic.

Sorry, couldn't wait.

Back to the topic, are you sure? Is this your final answer? I've heard there are a whole lot of flaws with MP Megs.

Other people's opinions don't affect mine. My MP Megatron has 0 flaws.

I find this too. A lot of people say a lot of different figures have flaws or weak joints, but not a single transformer I have ever bought has ever had anything wrong with it.

Makes me wonder if y'all ain't ham-handed with yer figures. Yarrr
