What in your opinion was/is the crown jewl of the line so far. My vote has to go to leader prime, just because of the great amount of articulation, poseability, and just the overall novelty of the toy because its prime.

Definately, incredible the posability of this figure, shows how far toy technology has come in the last 25 years.

It's too early to tell. So much more is coming.

But for now it is Leader Optimus Prime.

I can't wait to see Ultimate Bumblebee. I have to wait till Sept 15th.

Sorry I'd have to say the Bumblebee 08, reason being it has all the great posability of the Leader class prime but in Deluxe size meaning more affordable to more people. Only ding against the figure seems that some of the paint applications could have been better but doesn't limit it from being one of the best in the line.

Yeah, I'm waiting on the leader class ones to go on clearance or something. The local WalMart has about 20 of them sitting on the shelves.

As far as my favourite, definitely Voyager Ironhide so far. He's not terribly poseable because of loose leg joints on mine, but I love the paint job and the overall look of the figure.

Leader Prime for me, it's very well done, and the electronics are a hoot.

I have to say robo vision prime because he has as much articulate as the leader class prime but he doesn't have the gun attached to his arm also he has the driver that reminds me of peter cullen.

have you even held/played with the leader class? You can remove the gun from the leader class one.

cmon, some of you people are making judgement calls when there are things u haven't had 4 urself yet.

My pick will be for Robo Vision Optimus Prime. I think both Voyager and Leader were done extremely well but for some reason I just like Voyager better...maybe cause of his guns, he looks more of a bad ass.

'08 bumblebee for sure.

I'll wait for when Hasbro releases Shockwave from the game. That thing will be rad.

I wish I could say voyager Ironhide, because he has been what I've been looking forward to forever, but i don't feel his toy body represents his movie body, he seems to skinny as a toy. BUT, he still is quite good.

But, I'd have to say, leader prime is my #1, and Bumblebee 08,e even though I havnt seen him yet in store.. his pictures just look amazing.

I'll hear none of your naysayery! Voyager Ironhide rocks.

I'm waiting on Shockwave as well.

So far I only have 3 or 4 different movie toys, but I enjoy the Voyager Starscream the most.

I was trying to decide which Optimus Prime to get. It seems that a lot of you on this thread have mentioned really liking the leader class version? I was just worried that I might not, since it looks a little large in some areas, and not as sleek as the Voyager class.

you know how the camera adds 10 pounds? for optimus's case its like 200. trust me hes pretty damn poseable and he isn't that bulky.

Any screen shots of shockwave or just a little info on alt modes etc.

I guess this means its unlikely he will be in the sequel - if he was being considered it would be unlikely they would allow shockwave to be used in the games

I wouldn't count Shockwave out of future Transformers movies just yet. The game only touches on the Story line, it doesn't completely follow it.

Im Mainly thinking about the spider-man games where basically only villains that were not going to feature in any future films have appeared as minibosses in the games. I would imagine that if shockwave wee to appear in a sequel he would be as a main villain and would have probably been kept out of the first game if that was the case.

Hmm, good point.

Here's my input


...not Deluxe Jazz

I would say the leader and the voyager toys at this point. : )

For me it is Leader Prime and Deluxe Bumblebee ('70's). Though I am a little partial to Robovision Prime.

Leader Prime and Protoform Prime.

Although I think I will have to add 08 Bumblebee to the list... once I get him, that is.
