Which one do you think is better? Feel free to take into account the playability and value of the toys. And if you think there is a line that beats both of these lines in Leader Class quality, list it and give reasons.

I'll jump in with somewhat of a non-answer....

Both lines have great leader class figures, along with some duds. Which are which depend on who you ask, but here's my two pennies:

Movie Line has:

*Optimus Prime - Pure win...one of the best TFs I own.

*Megatron - Not a fan, but mainly due to the paint job.

*Brawl - I dig this figure too.

*Allspark Power Nightwatch Prime - Looks good, not sure if I'll buy it (depends on my cashflow).

*Allspark Power Desert Attack Brawl - I'll pass. Nice figure but I already have "green" Brawl.

Cybertron Line has:

*Optimus Prime - Don't have him and passed in favor of the GF Prime. For some reason the yellow "mustache" was a turnoff. Without that, I'll probably be more receptive.

*Galaxy Force Optimus Prime - I dig this figure a ton. Relatively simple TF, good colors that feel like Prime, but aren't strictly G1. Good accessories - the jetpack and cannons make him feel like he's ready to open up a can of serious whoop-@$$.

*Metroplex - While others can't stand this guy, I love him. Great articulation, and his alt mode is an actual earth vehicle - Google "Bucket Wheel Excavators".

*Megatron - Pass...again, not a fan of the color scheme. The Batmobile alt mode doesn't bother me, but I don't have this figure to comment on articulation, etc.

*Galvatron - Undecided. I like the G1-homage, but don't really care for the devil horns (although they are growing on me). [/b]

In Cybertron, prime and galvatron are awesome and metroplex better than most give him credit for.

In the movie line, leader prime is great, brawl good and megatron laughable.

3 good moulds beats 2 so Cybertron wins.

I would say the movie has the best leader class out of any tf series. Prime has a very realistic alt mode looks just like a real mac or was is peterbuilt? Keep forgetting but anyway, Prime has great articulatation the feet are on ball joints BEST IDEA EVER! good looken blaster would have looked better longer. Megatron i like. His colors don't bother me and his jet mode dosen't look too bad imao. Brawl is pur awsomesauce. Only minor fix would be ball joint feet and no clear weapons. Cybertron as i look back, i like real vheicles better so i guess that's why i have alts but cybertron prime and megs bar the paint are real good too. But Metroplex and GF prime bring down the score. And energon's Fatimus power reanger prime and fatitron don't even come close. So movie wins!

sigh I wish I could find Cybertron Optimus Prime.

I' want to say Armada, but I'm not 100% on Megatron/Galvatron being from the leader class range.

But If I had to pick between Cybertron and the Movie, it would be Cybertron. Metroplex is the Cybertron Lines Movie Megatron, a toy that requires some work to be loved.

Cybertron Prime is hands down the single best Leader Class toy from both of the lines, Movie Prime is good and all, but there is something about the figure that makes me not want to buy him.

Cybertron Megatron is a very "meh" figure, but his repaint into Galvatron is pure win.

Leader OP: between Cybertron and Movie it's a tie. Movie leader is purely awesome. Cybertron weapons are bad a#$.

Leader Megatron: Movie beats Cybertron.

Brawl even looks better than Metroplex.

Really, you don't want movie Prime? I have movie Prime but I'd like both Primes.

It's odd, I know, but I really just do not care for owning Leader Prime at all. I would get him if I did not have Robovision Prime, but that would only to be to have a figure for each of the movie characters.

I have played with a cousins version, and while there was nothing wrong with the figure, nothing about the figure screamed "you must buy me"...

If I can get one cheap, I'll pick it up, for completion sake more than anything, but I am not in any rush to own one, no.

Galaxy Force Megatron and Galaxy Convoy are works or arts....they are my favorite leader figures. But Brawl is very close, I just dig all the guns and detail too him. Bralw is right out of the movie and he rocks.

Oh I am also not a big fan of sound FXs....but I tell you, I was annoying the hell out of my Fiance when I got brawl. I couldnt stop toying with him and his Gimmicks.

Here's quick takes on what I have:

Galaxy Force OP is pretty awesome, I dig the red-and-brown/black colors. He's different than any other Prime I have simply because of the color scheme, and the super modes make the man. They're simply awesome.

Mextroplex looks like he's about to receive, doggy style, in base mode. In bot mode, he's got four different heights, which is good variety. I love his axe, that's by far the best weapon of any of the leader figs in my collection

Movie Leader Prime is pretty hawt, though. Very posable (besides the MP Prime mold, he's the only transformer I have that can do the YMCA's M pose with his arms), great colors...I could do without the paint job, so if they did a Leader Prime in G1 colors, I'd be there, but that's the only way he can be improved.

Movie Leader Megatron is OK. The paint job is ass, his legs still stick out despite mounting under the wings, but otherwise he's kinda cool. He's still a PITA to transform, though.

Movie Leader Brawl is my second least-favorite (behind Metroplex) because he's such a pain to transform. His arms have to be EXACTLY IN THIS OR THAT POSITION and it's so easy to get them out of line, and then his treads won't fold out right. The whole way his treads are handled is lame. Half of them up by his head, the rest down by his feet folded in half. Horrible. He's the best Brawl, but especially compared to his deluxe, that's not a compliment, exactly.

I've got to admit, I wasn't a big fan of the Movie Leader Prime at first but now that I own him and have changed him up a few times, I am completely glad I purchased him.
