You mean the original G1 toy? You can have your optinion but the OG seekers are out because they are basically Mr Potato. ¯\_( ͡°ヮ ͡°)_/¯

Well that's just your opinion...
I'd put the G1 figure ahead of any of those movie abominations. They always looked like **** to me regardless of their engineering.

Making a top 5 list where you are forced to include meh or downright crappy toys because you limited yourself to only G1 or only movieverse figures also makes little sense as well.

Earthrise hits all the nostalgia buttons the G1 toy does, but does it better. If I had the option as a kid I'd have LOVED ER Screawer because that's a better representation of how he was in the cartoon.
As a toy ... Leader-1 does it better. *dodges a brick*

Gauntlet101010 wrote:Yeah, the G1 trailer is just flat-out better.
But that's just the trailer. The two don't balance out because the cab is far more important.
