in terms of actual representation of real-life vehicles, I will go with the Alt/BT line. The movie line is nice too.

I think movie toys come quite close, although the Decepticons leave a bit to be desired.

Welcome to Seibertron, and I think alts are way more advanced that the movie figures. Wheeljack took me almost 40 mins to transform the first time!

They don't have stupid retarded heads that look like they've been smashed repeatedly with the ugly stick.

Alternators are much better, because they don't look like a pile of random parts that comes out of the alt mode. The faces are actually recognizable as faces, and the realistic alt modes are far superior!

Exactly
Not to mention the movie cars are GM
I'd much rather have a Ford GT or a Subaru than a silly Camero.

Alternators because i'm afraid of breaking them whenever I transform them
I think they learned from making alterantors when they created the movie toys. Movie toys look realistic but are a bit more solid.

Movie line figures!
But I'm quite interested in Alternators & Binaltech too..
They have the best detailed vehicle modes, almost like true life car models..

Welcome to Seibertron im surprised no one has done it yet so....
WARNING: SEIBERTRON CONTAINS NUTS!!!
Also, the alts are better simply because they have a level of detail and quality to them that no movie figure has...except for maybe concept BB. I love the movie line, i think they are awesome, but alts are just more special, especially since they are no longer being made.

yep its a crying shame. Im glad i picked up as many as i could when i did. I have an SDCC Rodimus on its way to me now too. You can still find them on ebay, sometimes for decent prices, and some stupid retail outlets still sell them for normal retail prices but their stock is very limited, so pick em up while you still can.

when altenrators turn into their alt modes, no one will gues that they're RID (well, until they look underside).
movie figures aren't so cleverly made, although tey're reallly fun to transform around.

Touche.
Alternators easily.
They may have parts that easily pop off (and can be easily put back on) but at least they don't have a stupid auto-morphing gimmick which if broken can screw up the whole toy.

Alternators by far. Don't get me wrong, the movie line is good, but Alternators are tops as far as Transformer toys go.

Lol, what?
It's obvious Alt/BT is superior. They're more detailed, better engineered, and used licensed vehicles that aren't just limited to GM.
How is this even a thread?
Wouldn't MP vs. Alt/BT be more comparable?
