So movie toys! In general I like them, of course there are some stinkers and quite a few meh figures. But I do like most of the designs, except for a few of the RotF ones. The ones in these pictures are basically the only ones in my collection I really enjoy and cared enough to actually photograph. All of the others are probably bound to be sold at some point. I know it may seem like I don't enjoy Movie toys but believe me I do, especially these ones. Some of them are among the best Transformers figures I own.
I love AOE Hound and Evasion Prime. Sideswipe is pretty cool and one of my favorite Movie designs, but the toy could be better. That is the original Bee and the only one I've ever bought. He still holds up pretty well to, unlike some of the other Movie 1 toys. Even as a kid I didn't buy Hasbro's "sell all the Bumblebees" scheme. Suck it Hasbro!
These Decepticons are just really neat in general. Megatron's deco is gorgeous and Starscream is the better voyager dorito, no matter what Kanrabat says.
Now, for the AOE dinobots the only one I really like is Scorn but as I type this I've realized that I only ended up with the movie ones so I suppose I should keep the set. Did I say Scorn is really good? He is.
Now for the offscreen guys.
These Autobots are just badarse, plain and simple. Cobotron was talking about how the 2007 line was a turning point for the design team, coming off of Cybertron. And I got to say Gears and Longarm really feel like Cybertron toys. This group really needs a Breacher.
The Decepticons also are a badarse team. Space Case, Lockdown, and Sunspot are so good.
And I forgot to put this guy in with the Autobots. Got him at the park a few years ago, good ride btw. But not a good price, I think it was something like $26. Ouch. And he's okay...I don't really care for the base mold (I don't like Roadbuster much at all) but he's a cool souvenir.
And let's not forget about the Movie Figure of all Movie Figures. I can't say much about RotF Prime that hasn't already been said but he is so impressive. Wonderful engineering, except for the arm area, and fantastic screen accurate modes.
Oh I also have TLK Barricade now. He's a solid fun figure. More to come with him later.

Holy crap that was exhausting.
