Motto: "Guilty or Innocent?
Always Guilty..."
Weapon: Particle Beam Cannon
As contentious as it might be for me to admit in terms of Season One toys, I'd put Optimus Primal over Megatron. In that vein swap them out accordingly. Both default [Munky] Primal and his MP descendant, truly represent the best examples of their respective lines.

Other than the MP version, I really hated Season One Megatron's mish-mashed design. Speaking of hate, TM 2 Megatron. I completely loathed the 'rubber' arm from day one. Why they couldn't have made his Dragon arm a larger variant of TM Rattraps whip/tail, annoys me to no end. I'd easily swap out TM 2 Megs for TM Tarantulas.

In terms of figures I actually own, I'd also swap out Silverbolt, for his contemporary Quickstrike. A really good figure of a terrible character.


To that end, my altered list:

5. TM Tarantulas
4. TM Rampage
3. TM Depthcharge
2. Quickstrike
1. Optimus Primal
(honourable mention, unchanged)

To whittle down a list entirely of my own choosing would take a while... Solid work, as always Will!

I'd replace Depth Charge with TM Tarantulas. Depth Charge's monster of a backpack never sat right with me. I'd also replace the first Megatron with Optimus Primal.
Not caring about scale since 1984. Just like Hasbro.

First off I love this post and discussion! but second I think including MP's in this list is a little bit like cheating. With that being said I am going to cheat a little bit:

5. Green Sticker Terrorsaur

4. Takara Quickstrike

3. Telemocha Waspinator

2. Transmetals Optimus Prime (any version but the pink one looks so dope!)

1. Metals Jaguar (Ravage)

True I was more talking about MP Primal making people's lists in the comments, but only one of character on my list isn't original (Waspinator) all others are first release given they're the Japanese variant

Pretty decent list, good concept at least!

I will have 2 more to add to my rankings soon, as least providing opinions on them, but for the show characters that I have original molds for, my top 5 would be:

5) Depthcharge - Such a big and great toy, I enjoy it so much, so many gimmicks that work, and it's just fun. Definitely worth his price point

4) Silverbolt - I love this toy a lot, the only real downside being the beast mode wings in robot mode, I wish they could fold down, but he is still really good. Love him.

3) Transmetal cheetor - I love this toy for the simplicity and simple joys it brings. It stands so well in both modes, and it's just a fun and great toy.

2) Tigerhawk - I love that toy so much, a giant fuzor styled toy that is asymmetrical with a lot of fun gimmicks and a presence to him that cannot be beat.

1) Transmetal Tarantulas - this mold is so good, so posable, so delicious in colors, the way the spider parts integrate, it is fantastic and fun and great.
