Hmm, this one is a toughy as I love just about anything envolving Transformers. When it comes to the movie figures it's a toss up between Barricade and Ironhide... I haven't had a chance to see what all the other toys are like though as I only have Black Out, Brawl and Bumblebee in addition to the two I already mentioned. I'm getting Jaze and Arcee when I find her, maybe leader Prime.

Classics: I don't have many Classics but I have to say Ramjet with Starscream as close second.

Other: I have to say the G1 Stunticons wit hthe exception of Motormaster, but the other four I just love.

Your right, and it does make sense that they would be batteries. I wasn't much for the instructions when I was younger. I didn't notice those two parts on the bottom of Prime's Trailer that swing out until after I had him for awhile.

Eh, that just makes Soundwave that much cooler. He was my first Transformer ever and the fact he came with a tape was excellent.

Holy Crap...I never thought of his weapons being batteries...

Dude, for real? - they are the same size and shape as AA batteries and they store in the Walkmans battery compartment.

Still, I did see Dr.Strangelove twice before a realised Peter Sellers plays three main characters

Beast Wars: Transmetal II Cheetor, Depthcharge
Armada: Blurr, Jetfire
Classics: Jetfire

Forget nostalgia. Who can argue with the art that is MP Prime?

predacons and dinobots because you can make a great battle scene using those figures.

mp prime is probably the best tf ever made. even just a casual tf fan can really appreciate him as well as even a non fan. and for a collector it is just the perfect optimus we've always wanted

It's too close to call! G1 Megatron and Shockwave! However, as I only ever owned Shackwave and not the 'real deal'...

Meg's got to destroy all the Joes, Jedis, Daleks, Cybermen and was, ultimately, only stopped by Acroyear (in a move echoing the demise of Baron Karza in Marvel's Future Tense).

I'd have to say my favorite all time is the Reborn Optimus Primal Toy, he's just soo animation accurate!! but then again so is MP-01 Optimus Prime.. they really look good on my shelf together.

My mom has mine/ours of those some where at home. I'll have to ask her if she's got any for me to put out with my collection. Those were the coolest!

I only own one movie figure (Arcee) so I can't really comment on that line yet. Here goes for the others:

G1 - Skywarp. Black jet goodness!

Classics - Jetfire. Tons of fun with accessories and articulation.

Binaltech/Alternators - Mirage. Hands down best car model and color scheme. Also has a transformation that doesn't make me want to cry.

MP - MP01 Prime. My cartoon hero incarnate. There is no better robot-mode Optimus Prime in existence.

Honorable Mention - RiD Ultra Magnus. His robot mode is kinda goofy, but at least he isn't a Prime repaint. And the bad ass car carrier mode is fun.

G1 Soundwave...
With those cassettes, he and the crew were awesome!!!!

Actually, the articulation is what killed Jetfire for me. The legs were terrible. I would have loved him otherwise.

Easy, Soundwave.

I know I'm old school and all, but this may surprise some of you.............





Cybertron optimus Prime!!

ok reasons??

1. He's got those freaking hugeass guns!!!

2. He's a compilation of all the Primes that came before him...

3. He's G-1 color scheme is down right awesome!!

4. He's got a sweet looking head, and has the Optimus Primal Mouth thingy..the robots in disguise prime fire truck aspects..sooo much nostalgia in one toy!!!

5. He's huge even compared with the movie prime.. remember I have pics ..

overall He's just the best ever!!!

I have the Galaxy convoy version...

See:





he's the best transformer ever made for me!!

AMEN! Tell it like it is!

Victory Leo.

Lance Guns for the win.

To lanzajr26 who said G1 Skywarp - Amen! I had two of him. Still gotta bug my mom about the TF's at their house; I forget every time I talk to her...

I've only had him around 11 hours, but I really like Movie Wreckage. He's not all gangly and loose like some of the other Movie deluxes I have (08BB being the worst offender among what I have).

I strongly enjoy Voyager Ratchet and Leader Prime, too.

But the favorite of what I have is probably Classics Jetfire. He's pretty awesome. He kinda has a hard time with Macross Valkyrie walker jet mode, which is ironic to me since the G1 version was a licensed Valkyrie.
