Hey Everyone, new to the forum

I thought this thread would be a great way to get to know everyone a little.

Let me know about your three favourite molds of the moment and why, all lines, no restrictions

Here are mine.

1) Classics Voyager Optimus Prime
pretty much my favourite mold of optimus, sturdy, realistic, poses great, huge weaponry, and I love the backlit clear plastic lightup eyes

2)Cybertron Deluxe Downshift
I am a huge mark for Wheeljack and cybertron Downshift is everything a modern Wheeljack mold should be.

3)Optimus Primal Transmetal 1
One mean looking ape, with a hoverboard to boot.
I am a big sucker for the transmetal chrome finish

and as a bonus, I picked up the impossibletoys.com Quintesson mold and it is sweet "guilty or innocent....innocent"

looking forward to hearing everyones opinion
and of course, I know that favourites change all the time

Titanium WWI Seeker:

I love that design for a Seeker. I have three of them. They are simple and feel good to hold.

Master Piece Starscream:

A feat of engineering goodness. It is higly detailed and complex. A very fun figure to transform.

Original G1 Seeker:

A brick as a robot, but it is a simple toy that simply looks good, feels good and stands up to the test of time.

the Seibertron boards looks much less nutty compared to where I used to frequent.

I can't afford that sort of money in one shot. I would if I had the bucks. But I am a Starscream fanatic. I have 54 figs of him. Most are on my website.

I've gotta ask, how do you like the upcoming movie Starscream?

My current faves atm:

TF Movie Barricade— unique and fun transformation, great articulation and detail, and his head looks wickid.

Cybertron Optimus Prime—Still my favorite Prime figure out there. Great detailing, ability to combine with other figures, and the movable faceplate is very cool in my book.

Classics Jetfire— Great mold and his "battle armor" makes a great figure even better.

1. MP Megatron - Just an amazing figure. G1 accurate, and brilliant transformation.

2. Classics Mirage - So fun to pose.

3. Alternators Jazz with reprolabels - I love me some Jazz

There's quite a few that are really close but that's what shakes out for me at this time.

Getting used to it, but not really loving it.

1. MP Prime
I just love the big guy, the detailing, the articulation and the look.
If you lookat it you think it just jumped out of a Don Figura pic.

2. Classics Voyager Prime
Pure awsomness, the Body is awsom, the detail, the legs and the wepones.

3. Movie Voyager Starscream
Detail I love detail, and the transformation is real fun.

Masterpiece Starscream - They did an amazing job with him. looks great in both modes, looks very impressive, and is fun and involved to transform. Megs isn't quite as good because he's fragile, poorly balanced, and less fun.

Movie Wreckage - He's an awesome looking random little figure, I just had to pick him up even though I'm not so big on the Movie line (I know he's not in the movie).

RiD Scourge - I just always thought he was reaally cool looking and had a fun yet very simple transformation. Of course it's the same mold as Laser Prime, but the black colors make it so much nicer.

You are as obsest about Starscream as I am with Venom.
I'm making a wohl website about Venom, it started out as a school project but it's growing and growing.
Right now it's just in German but I'm working on a English version.
Wen I'm halfway thrue I'll put it on the Web.

I like the look of your Website. Keep it alive. ;)^

I second the RID Scourge, a g2 mold that easily displays with almost any modern line and still looks great.

The Laser Prime mold was way ahead of its time articulation wise

Bonger, I can't believe that you listed Brave Max. You just didn't seem that impressed with it.

by **Windsweeper** » Sat Jun 09, 2007 3:10 pm

Cybertron Swerve - closest thing to a Basics Hot Rod

Robotmasters Seekers - Need Drone repaints

Energon Divebomb - closest thing to a transformable Banzai-tron
