I have all the classics except for the botcon exclusive seekers and I love them all there isn't a single one that I hate. But if I had name two that I could get by looks alone classics jetfire and ramjet.

QFT. jetfire is da BOMB. and he's not that rare yet, you can see him floating around in ebay. ramjet is a good mold too, fantastic paintjob, except for the frames in the cockpit area, they never seem to paint the white lines properly. and oh, the head shows in alt mode. 8)
all the comments above are the HUMBLE OPINIONS of the said user only. 'nuff sed.

Recent botcon exclusives but they are really pricy
Better wait to see if Takara Tomy releases them as a set later

1- Thundercracker

2- Thrust

3- Dirge

The upcoming classics next year

1- Octane

2- Sideswipe {Sunstreaker is going to have the same body as Sideswipe but different face. Argh! Hasbro didn't keep their promise. And they said Sunstreaker would have different transformation but it doesn't seem that way judging by the botcon pics.

3- Cosmos



Hasbro doing the bare minimum, whodathunkit!

I'd also like to ad HotRod to my list.

I know they had to call him Rodimus, but come on...

Weapon: Sniper Rifle
I notice there's no love for this guy, but you should give Cliffjumper a look, if not solely for the BB mold, but for the fact that the red seems to work better than BB's paint job... I know, I know, no redone face, but oh well. Besides, he's one you might still be able to score in a store or from an online retailer for the MSRP.

That said, I have all of the Classics line, including Botcon--from here on out, I think it's safe to say that every bot in the upcoming Universe (Classics 2.0) line is a must-buy. Thsi is a virtual certainty, just going by the sketches we've seen so far.

i think jetfire is by far the best. i just got him a few days ago and i can't stop looking at his bot mode. ramjets also pretty sweet. i'm thinking about getting prime and bumblebee but i don't like primes alt mode whatsoever. mirage,grimlock, and megs look like crap in my opinion so i passed on them.

I personally think all the classics are worth geting all great renditions of the G1 characters even Megatron colours grow on you after a while al though I own two classic Megatrons one left in its origional state the other I gave a g1 look to. I must say that of all of the classic I would have to say Jet fire stands out the best.

The only one I don't like (my 10yo daughter has Optimus Prime, and I have Mirage, Jetfire/Skyfire and Grimlock) is Grimlock, because his arms don't lock in place in Robot mode, which is butt-kick stupid, and his feet don't work great, either.

did someone here ask about jetfires chest/cockpit not locking? I forgot the thread.. anyway.. yes.. jetfires chest does not lock, you just push it in place and it will hang there..

I spotted it in the store, and people had been going on about how great it is, and now I'll confirm it - Classics Jetfire really is the best Classics out there.
