Before Titans Return, I probably wouldn't be a le to answer the question of "favorite gimmick". But now, Titan Masters have to be my favorite. I especially love the way the gimmick was handled in the line, where every deluxe and up was practically a playset, with the little dude being able to interact with the vehicle/base mode of figures, and the whole gimmick helped with the transformation of the figures, where visible head syndrome was practically eliminated and not having to worry about where the head went led to some awesome transformations.
Combining was a great gimmick, but I wouldn't necessarily say it was my favorite back then. They were pretty fun, but I think the "gimmick" of the figures just transforming was the thing for me. As for favorite figure with a gimmick, I dunno. I would think it's a tie between my ROTF Leader Optimus Prime and Titans Return Overlord. Overlord is the embodiment of the best of Titans Return, and I feel that my Leader Optimus is a better figure than even the Masterpiece because of those cool flip out swords, lights and sounds, all while looking perfect in both modes.
One's red one's blue sometimes I want to ask god why he's played this cruel joke on us
