for me it could well be classics skywarp, i love doing the chest/cockpit bit (hell, thats sounds a bit rude).

G1 Optimus

G1 Grimlock
Classics Mirage
Movie 74 Camaro Bumblebee
Movie Voyager Prime, Ratchet

I'm also a fan of the Legends figures. Recently got the Allspark Ratchet v Brawl 2-pack, and I like 'em a lot better than I'd been expecting to.

Movie 74 BB is one of the best in the Movie line, cool Automorph, but his pop-out action in the front of his car makes it sort of frustrating. :wink:

That might be my fave...pretty much all the alts are great, though!

Cybertron Defense Red Alert. He likes it rough. *teehee ...

A satisfying transformation that doesn't take long at all. Sure, many have better transformations ... but figs like this are like FAB's without the cheese factor.

RiD Galvatron for me. His many modes and his bulky appendages lets me transform him without worry of breaking parts off.

Sounds weird, but 20th DVD Prime.

I've got it down to ~90 seconds.

I love Classic Megatrons transformation, once you have it figured out it's so smooth.

Movie Stockade is also really great for transforming.

I like to prop my feet up and transform my leader class movie Optimus when I'm gonna watch TV or something. It's a little time consuming and has just the right amount of challenge, but it's not frustratingly difficult—just fun!

Movie Leader Prime and MP Prime are fun, but I also enjoy transforming G1 Warpath... I just love that little tank.
But my favorite is Soundwave. I've got the re-issue double-deep cassette deck Soundwave, Music Label Soundwave and WST Soundwave and I transform any or all of them fairly frequently.

Same here...
I always thought his design was solid and very well done.
He is the first one that came to mind.

i agree.

and he comes loaded with lots of small missiles that could put a Macross Battroid to shame.

i love this toy. :grin:

For the challenge... Alt Shockblast

just for looking at not messing with.... any version of Armorhide.

Classic Mirage

There's something elegant about his transformation, and I love the fact that nothing has to be snapped or popped or forced, it's all smooth and easy movements.

.

At the other end of the spectrum is the G1 Soundwave reissue. I transformed him once, from alt mode to robot mode, and if I ever transform him back, it'll be the last time. I'm too afraid his joints will get loose, and I hate how you have to force his arms and legs "around the corner".

Most any G1 figures I have. Sideswipe, Stepper, Powermaster Optimus Prime, and Cliffjumper are my favourites. I can't wait for Omega Supreme...

I say the transformation is the main point of them! After all, doesn't the name of them suggest something about being able to change or something...?

RiD Megatron/Galvatron.
So many modes, so little time.
I also find myself repeatedly transforming Primus, G1 Metroplex and Classics Soundwave alot.
But mostly the RiD Megs
