Prime. Megatron. Galvatron. Hot Rod. Grimlock.

Although, depending on my mood, Grimlock and Soundwave interchange....

5 toys, Prime, Soundwave, Shockwave, Grimlock, Jetfire.
5 characters, Prime, Megs, Soundwave, Starscream, Shockwave.
And I remember hearing the 5 Dinobots were he top selling toys of the line... could be mistaken.

Weapon: Reciprocating Laser Cannon
It's a good question: is it toys or is it characters?

For toys (at the moment):

1-G1 Kup
2-BM Jetstorm (Deluxe version)
3-Classics Grimlock
4-Movie Bumblebee (Deluxe 2008 Chevrolet Camaro)
5-G2 Megatron

For characters (at the moment):
1-Kup
2-Optimus Prime
3-Grimlock
4-Hot Rod
5-Megatron
Image
My vote for the HOF goes to my favorite Transformer, Kup, to the Headmasters (who still need new figures that aren't just the characters without their master components) and to seibertron.com for for being the ultimate TF resource.

Top 5 TF toys of all time:

1. Masterpiece Optimus Prime (never will there be another MP that holds a candle to this guy :x ...)
2. Masterpiece Skywarp (Just because!!)
3. THs Hybrid Convoy( accessories, accessories galore! the true and perfect update to G-1 Optimus Prime)
4. G-1 Shockwave (the transformation into a robot and playability of a death ray is cool)
5. Cybertron Optimus Prime (very nice figure and encompasses most the genre's Optimus primes before it)

Characters:

1. G-1 Optimus Prime
2. G-1 Megatron
3. BW Megatron
4. G-1 Starscream
5. BW Dinobot

R.I.P. I-)

you will be missed..

and a Masterpiece or Leader class, Voyager, or Ultra, or what ever of you actual cartoon likeness really needs to be created by Hasbro to commemeorate the Beast wars 15TH anniversary!!!

Come on Hasbro!! sell More DVDs!! I want a Perfect replica of Dinobot!! he's supposed to be larger then the rest... see:
Image

My collection deserves it, his character deserves it!! it's an all around good decision.. Jedi mind trick don't fail me now!! :HALUC:

That picture is a not representative of their proper sizes. They grabbed cgi shots and slapped them together for that.

I would not use it as a basis for scale.

ok I got a better one, and this one was specially produced by Mainframe for a Botcon: Dinotbot is in the middle center and looks the same size as he does in the one above to me..

Image

it was a lithograph and limited in number.. they also had a Predacon version.. i think we discussed this before??? anyhow, i still think Dinobot should have been alot bigger and maybe the same size as Prime in Voyager class..like Megatron was...

scale aside, more to the point, he needs an animation accurate toy!!


Also if Hasbro or Takara created a Perfect Dinobot toy mold, i would replace my top 5 THS Convoy in a heartbeat.. i love that character, he's got loads of Honor, and valor, has the whole Wolverine aspect going on, and a cool sword.. code of hero is the best episode of Beast Wars, in my opinion..

what would be great is if they did a better version of him, they could always do the reborn version as well..

Look at Dinobot in the second pick, he's about a half head taller than Tigatron.

In the first pic he's shoulders above Tigatron.

Don't get me wrong, Dinobot's toy sucks ass. I just don't think he should be gigantic.

No, I agree there, he shouldn't be gigantic either.. but he should have been a Voyager insteaqd of a Deluxe, the same with Rhinox, only a shorter voyager then Dinobot, but wider and bulkier then his little deluxe counterpart..

I also think that Tigatron should have been somewhere between a Voyager and the deluxe mold that Cheetor was..that way the accuracy of scale could have been a little closer tothe actual animation..

regardless of that all I really think that needs to be done is give us a new Dinobot mold with an animation accurate body style and slightly larger then his initial release..then I'd be happy.. as it is, i still suffer with the TM version, even with animation accurate paint jobs, that toy seriously lacks in accuracy and style..
