Of the Classics I have... (Starscream, Mirage, Jetfire, Grimlock, and Rodimus) ... I'm definitely gonna have to say that Jetty and Mir are the two that score high on my list.

I hate to admit this, but Grimlock is my favorite. I've always loved the character and it's great to see him re-imagined. I love the homages to his Pretender version.

Yes, his arms flop about. Yes, he can eat things with his toes. But when he's gripping his sword and gun in robot mode and squaring off against my Beast Wars Second Max B, he looks positively bad ass.

Mirage is my favorite character (and a damn good figure to) from the line but Jetfire has the best figure with almost too many weapons but he suffers from having a lame character.

Simply put, Jetfire.

He is the SEX

Looks great with and without helmet on.
Excellent Jet mode, looks best without armour attached.

Then again, every single Classics figure (not inlcuding minicons and legends) is the sex. They all rock.

Nope. Mighty Scorponok is confused.

Megatron is awesome. Jetfire is aremd to the bloody teeth. Mirage however is the ultimate Classics character. The mould screams Mirage, he is posable and is just ****' awesome!

As much as I hate to say it though, Grimlock is a disgrace. I cannot remember the last time I was this disapointed with a figure.

Yeah but Rodimus never really earned the name Prime. Whiny bitch. If he had the time to mature into a proper character I have no doubt he'd be great. But as he is, he just.......ain't......Prime.

Out of the ones I have (waves 1 & 2), I would have to say Jetfire, which has surprised me.

I didn't really care too much seeing him online. Even when I picked him up I didn't really like the back of the box pics. I think the helmet is just a bit too big for his body and makes him look weird. However, without the helmet and that armour and guns in place, he looks very awesome and is my favourite.

Bumblebee and Grimlock are pretty good, which I expected. The other one that pleasantly surprised me is Astrotrain. I was kind of "meh" on him all along, but when I actually had him in hand I ended up liking him better than Starscream or Rodimus...

One overall problem they have is scale. They're mostly a bit smaller than the usual figures. I display some of them with some Energon and Cybertron figures and they're a bit small. I wish Jetfire was the same size as E-Shockblast so they can stand off directly, but Jetfire's a bit small...

That's because they are two different size classes, Jetfire is a voyager and Shockblast was an ultra so of course he's bigger.

Megatron, followed by Rodimus as a close second for me.

I liked Jetfire the best followed closely by Ramjet and Skywarp. Jetfires guns and overall look it what drew me into liking him the best, he's just a great looking figure.

My fave has to be old Grimmy, yeah he walks on his dino teeth in robot mode, but come on, he looks bad ass (that and i've always had a soft spot for beast TF).

Ramjet.

So I just got Classics Ramjet yesterday and I can't say how impressed I am. I think the wing design for bot mode was really good, and I think the alt mode overall looks just like the G1 original. I've always been a fan of the seekers as figures, and even though a lot of people have said this numerous times, I'd buy just about any Classics seeker they came out with. What a good figure. Not the best Classic, but damn good.

That's because they are two different size classes, Jetfire is a voyager and Shockblast was an ultra so of course he's bigger.


Actually, Shockblast was a Voyager back before they were Voyagers and were still Megas. Still, scale's something that's plagued the Transformers line since its inception... But that's a rant for somewhere else.

I have both minicon waves, the Ultimate Battle set, Wave 1 and 2 deluxes, and the leaders... They all rock (even the mini-cons, though some more than others), and picking a favorite is not at all easy...

So...

Astrotrain wins by cheating. He was the first Classics figure I got, and he convinced me that I might actually like this line, despite my distaste for the concept behond it. He's a good, solid figure with a nice weapon and reasoanble articulation. His transformation is nicely clever, and he's a triple-changer with two reasonab;y realistic alt modes, which we don't get much nowadays... And those happen to be a train and a shuttle, two of my favorite vehicle alt-modes! All this for ten bucks... And I'm on board, if you'll pardon the pun.

I don't own many, just the Wave 1 basics, but I like Bumblebee the best. He's a very fun little bugger.
