G1 Blaster. In my playing with him, he's saved Optimus, wiped out the entire Decepticon force, traveled back in time and kicked the **** out of the Predacons and singled handedly destroyed every incarnation of Unicron.

Also, he wiped out Cobra, the Inhumanoids and Mum-Ra.

Wow he wiped out a lot of people didn't he

how'd he do that? by playing ultra-amplified versions of "the Touch" and "Dare"? LOLz jokin'.

Holy ****. You guessed right. Also, he punched alot of them too. Because nothing is more manly than a-honest-to-Primus punch in the face.

Seriously, how do you defeat Decompose with Blaster? "Decompose..."
I'm going with e-hobby clear Starscream as my personal fav,
with Omega Prime and (G1)Sky Lynx coming Very close behind.

Probably G1 Soundwave, he's just so kitch - the whole eighties thing with him being a walkman, the cassette transformers that fit inside him and the batteries that store and become weapons, it's all briliant design from a time gone by.

Years ago I was really fond of the first Transmetal Megatron.

In my new, current collection, I don't have a favourite TF ever made - after all, I don't have the best Cybertron series has to offer, nor do I have MP Prime. All my figures are reasonably new and have yet to be determined as my favourite character until new toylines come out.

I think my all time favorite is G1 Prowl. I love that mold. Simply love it.

G1Blaster and punching... why am I not surprised! JK

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

Anyway, on topic, my fav will always be Omega Supreme. I wonder if he could be remade in G1 form with todays articulation and how that would work. I always wanted to see him get the Headmaster/Powermaster treatment. I know Armada OS does that, but I'd like to see the G1 version instead.

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

Here are my favorites :

Beast wars : Depth Charge (simply magnificent figure, lots of gimmicks and weapons, was badass in the show as well...)

Classic : Starscream/Grimlock (both are great looking, I only have Starscream though, but I like him alot. Nice little homage. I will get my hands on Grimlock too, he's one friggin hot figure.)

Movie line : Leader Prime (man talk about one great Prime. I don't have the MP one, but this one is simply amazing. I might switch to Leader Brawl once I have him, but for now, Prime is my favorite.)

I based my choices on the figures I was able to handle/have. So yeah, no G1 or big Alternators (only have Camshaft) or MPs. But I do have some nice figures, and from those above, I think I'll choose Leader Prime as my favorite.

1- Leader Prime
2- Depth Charge
3- Classic Grimlock/Starscream

I didn't discover this either until a few years ago. When I was a kid, I always wondered why his back came off.

As for my favorite TF, I'm gonna go with Cybertron Crosswise. He's got one of the coolest vehicle modes I've ever seen, and he's a bounty hunter.

If you forced me to choose my favourite it would be either Leader Prime or Ironhide.

Yeah Ironhide is great. In the movie line, he's really one of the best. He's the best Voyager that's for sure. But Leader Prime is the best Transformer figure I ever had, you can't go wrong with him. He's a different Prime, but he's awesome.

as for movie versions, yeah leader prime or maybe leader brawl! but overall, i'd have to go with Omega Supreme!! don't know why, but to me he's just bad ass!!!!

Movie line must-haves:

Leader: Optimus Prime

voyager: Ironhide

Deluxe: Wow, where to start. So many good deluxes in this line: Barricade (don't have him yet), Bumblebee 08, Arcee, Wreckage, Bonecrusher, Protoform Prime, G1 redeco Jazz (I don't have him yet), and who knows what else is coming.

I love these sorta threads, I'm so geeky.

Movie line: I wish I could say Ironhide, but, too skinny. So leader prime or 08 bumblebee (jumping on the bandwagon)

G1: Omega Supreme, or my dinobot team.

Beast Wars: 10th anniversary Optimus Primal or Optimal Optimus (and their TF Universe counter-parts/repaints)

Alternators: Grimlock, Skids (you read that right)

Its not a bandwagon, its a reality !...

What do you like about Skids ? I would be quite intersted to know that.

Fury wrote:What do you like about Skids ? I would be quite intersted to know that.

I don't know. I've got him in this pose. Sorta like he's walking toward you, he looks all tough or something like. maybe it's his articulation alogn with the fact that he is a big bot because of that chest. He just catches my eye, when I look at all my alternators on my shelf (a whole whack of them). he doesn't need his weapon, that ruins his image. he reminds me of an Ironhide (my favorite character), maybe thats it? He certainly looks like a tough, chunky bot to me though.

For regular production figures, I think I'll go with 20th Anniversary Optimus Prime. That was the figure that got me back into collecting TFs and is still the one that I'd try to save in case of a fire (God forbid!).

I also love a couple of the Alternator customs that I've done. First out of those would be my repaint of Skids to become Ironhide.
