Alternators had hit and misses. But when it hit, it hit HARD! Some of those figures can even be considered like pseudo-masterpieces like Alternator Hound and Skids.

It was an absolute dream come true and a personal memory I'll always hold dear.
1. Power of the Primes Rodimus Prime: This again is personal. A Hot Rod that could turn into a Rodimus Prime. Effectively. Wow. Having grown up in a time when the best depiction of my favorite new character back then was G1 Hot Rod and G1 Rodimus, this was a big deal for me. For what it is, what it can do, and who it represents, this was probably the biggest 'dream come true' I can think of off hand.
Thank you for the awesome topic! I love this stuff

Would have liked to have seen Generations Jetfire at least get an honourable mention, with it's melding of Skyfire and Jetfire

Yeah, I love this stuff too and really like going back to highlights of this great hobby of ours, glad you are here along for the ride. That's a solid top 3. I think the reason why Overlord wasn't as much a collective highlight for the community is because he lacked a lot of the original's functionality and shared a mold with another character. And while he is a great toy, his lack of individuality was felt, at least that's what I gather.
Keeping fingers crossed that they are as good in-hand as they appear in the videos/pictures. Trypticon looked good initially, but was a completely different story when in-hand.Emerje wrote:A massive cartoon accurate "Skyfire"? Check!

A fully armored "white Prime" Ultra Magnus? Check!

A colossal Titan Omega Supreme? Check!
A proper Cybertronian Tetrajet mold? Check!
And that doesn't include things like Selects Star Convoy and Super Megatron or SS Devastator! Now I just have to wait for Titan Scorponok (sooooon) and a comic accurate Jihaxus and I think I'll have had all of my wishes filled... aside from a full set of Dinobot reissues, but some wishes just don't come true.
