1) Give me your top 3 favorite figures of the line
2) Give me your favorite figure from the 3 size classes
3) Give me your biggest disappointment of the line so far
4) Give me your top 3 figures you want to see the line give us that it hasn't already/has been confirmed to be giving us
Oh, man. I love doing lists like this! Even though this is going to be tough, because there’s a lot of stand out figures in this line so far.
1)
Bonecrusher: I can’t seem to stop fiddling with this guy. I think most of us, who enjoy movie toys at least, have been waiting for a really solid figure of Bonecrusher. Initially when we first got some preview images of him, I wanted to have high hopes, but I wasn’t sure if I was setting myself up for disappointment. After having him in hand for a couple weeks, I’m blown away by how much fun he is. He’s a ton of fun. Not overly complicated, or a fiddley panel-former. And while I’d still love to see him as a smallish leader class figure, I think he works really well as a voyager.
RotF Starscream. This mold is so outstanding. It really takes the best qualities of the best SS figures we’ve gotten over the years. He’s highly posable. There’s a lot of beautiful detail in the sculpt. And after playing with so many other movie SS toys, his transformation feels the most fluid and natural. The extra paint details on his second figure in this line really help him pop.
Blackout. I’m a huge champion for this toy. I know he’s got a ton of panels, which is a big con for a lot of people, but I don’t actually care. His alt mode is enormous and gorgeous. His bot mode, while squat, is large and imposing. That being said I can easily rattle off his flaws; bad, clunky hands. He is a little on the short side. The back half of his alt mode is very hollow. Panels can be pretty finicky. But despite all that, I still love him.
2)
Ratchet. I almost gave this to Scrapmetal, but I sincerely love his Ratchet mold. I’d buy a third one, if they made one in his red and white DotM toy deco. He’s simply a lot of fun to play with and pose. He’s also my favorite Autobot.
Bonecrusher.
Blackout.3) there are sadly some real duds in this line. The biggest one for me is
Dropkick. He’s just so ugly and scrawny. I don’t think I’ve enjoyed him at all, and I’m greatly looking forward to a replacement version of him with a car alt mode. Just so long as it isn’t as poor as Shatter....
4) this was real hard to narrow down, but what I’d love to see is a Voyager class
Lockdown. His figure was a bit of a let down for me. He’s too small to scale right with Voyager Prime. He’s barely posable at all. The only upside to him is the jaw dropping detail. The sculpting on him is so fine. I think it would be awesome if we got some figures from characters we’ve never gotten before. Like
Onslaught and
Mohawk from TLK. A leader class Onslaught would make my day. As would a small deluxe Mohawk. Something the same size as Jazz.
All in all I think the Voyager classes have been the most successful. There hasn’t been one I don’t love so far.

Alas, next time I went there, the tag was gone. It had a date of 04/04/19, so it's possible the Clearance had already ended by the time I got him, but the tag was never removed.
