Not yet, but I can imagine G1 being on the list.
I call it #1 for sure. Just with Ironhide, Megatron, and Reflector alone.

Which reminds me, who are the most accurate G1 toys? I think it's mostly the carbots, because Sideswipe, Prowl and Jazz pretty much looked like that in the show. Inferno as well maybe?
ZeldaTheSwordsman wrote:IMO Megatron is closer than he gets credit for.
The way I see it, with G1... accuracy should count for careful deliberate changes (like optics color, giving the faceleess faces, color schemes), but not dumbing-down (like kibble magically vanishing) or complete screwups (Astrotrain's shuttle fin in robot mode, the Combaticons below the neck, etc.)

She's not the only offender.*Blackarachnia in Beast Wars had a very obvious big chest for a female.
*Jack Darby in Transformers: Prime, Darkness Rising Part 1, the scene where Jack strokes the driver seat can be portrayed as touching a girl without permission.

Thunderblast is the worst, though. Thunderblast got borderline pornographic at points, including that freaking nipple shot. Which, by the way, the incompetent smegheads at Cartoon Network evidently failed to notice.
Somebody obviously needed to go pour buckets of icewater over the animators at Gonzo.

I would pay good money for a more poseable and more "cartoon accurate" Thunderblast.

It still is incredible how much more show accurate the Beast Wars Transmetals and onward figures were compared to the season 1 designs. I liked those season 1 designs, but the Transmetals were where it was at

For me, Prime was a contender but i judged it worse than MP (Airachnid anyone?). The fact that we never got a show accurate deco for season 1 voyager megs was enough to tip it in the favour of mp 2.0 for me.

I cant find it now, but there was a designer video from hasbro for their voyager predaking which showed that they were at complete odds with the show, choosing to give Predaking two extra heads.

That's the so called Hydrafire Blaster you are talking about. Cant he be left in dragon mode without attaching that thing?

It is so weird when you say that and then note the disparity between the Transmetals/TM 2 and Beast Machines...
Beast Machines was really Hasbro's fault. Mainframe wanted to keep things going the way they were, but then Hasbro basically cut their animation budget in half when they told them to share it with a then-new Action Man series. Beast Machines was them cheating with kibble-free character designs that don't really transform in the classic sense to simplify the animation models and Hasbro doing toys that looked little like the cartoon since both companies were doing their own interpretations of Draxhall Jump's design concepts at the start. It was a no win situation for fans.

I don't doubt you,but could you give a source?This is the first time I'm hearing this.
Could you also show us some of those draxall jump designs? On the internet, all I can find is their designs for the dropped line after that (along with a cheetor).
