And Kurona, is "recency bias" really a thing? If it is, I disagree with it being a valid reason to exclude recently released figures. If a figure is a great piece, it doesn't matter if it was released 10 years ago or 10 days ago. And yes, I do realize sometimes the luster of a newer figure wears off after a while.![]()
As for my list I am not familiar with characters that turn into weapons past Armada, so I will just nominate the entire Mini-con line from that continuity, with the Star Saber, the Requiem Blaster and the Skyboom Shield taking up the top 3 spots. That is, if combined characters-turning-into-weapons are allowed.

Owning both of those molds, I'll say they're great Legends-class figures - especially Shockwave, my god is he good - but terrible Targetmasters. They're far too weighty for their intended Combiners - or any Combiner - to hold them up, meaning they fail at the purpose of being weapons. And this is before we get to Powerglide/Viper's gun mode being, ah... well, it doesn't look very good. It looks less like a gun and more like a robot lying down very awkwardly with missile pods painted on its arms.

That said, it is admittedly a tiny little bit of a problem when a list comes out that happens to coincide with recent releases -- like this list, or a Top 5 Triple Changers list. But like Will said, he's happy to make an update at some later point so this isn't set in stone

The one that got released with Masterpiece Artfire a little over a month ago.

Unlike the triple changers, I had a ton of good material to write this list. The triple changers are still in the ether because I dont feel anything has ever been definitive for them.

...Um, hi? Thrilling 30 Springer? Pulls off Triple Changing far more perfectly than any other toy while still retaining solidity, loads of articulation, accurately replicating a comic design and is beloved across the fandom?

Am I the only one who doesn't hate it? I'll admit that it's not quite as strong as the other two modes, but I still feel like it's a perfectly decent gun mode, particularly for the size/price point. It may not be elegant, but it definitely looks powerful. A pair of missile pods, two large barrels from the engines plus one medium and two tiny ones from the molded details at the back of the plane, and the targeting grid thing, it looks like it could rain a firestorm of pain down on whoever's unlucky enough to be its target.
