Let's say you're putting together a display, and you only want each character represented once. Who do you choose to be in the big "group shot"? Bumblebee from the first three movies, AOE, or TLK? Which Prime, first three movies, evasion mode, or knight? Which Megatron, jet, tank, truck, or knight? Starscream with our without cybertronian tribal tattoos? Original Ratchet deco or DotM deco? Etc.
Ah, you have opened this movie bot lovers can of worms. I'll keep each entry brief:
AutobotsOptimus: Dark of the Moon Prime is my personal favorite design, complete with trailer and weapons. a toy of him would be perfect. As is, my RotF Leader is the ultimate version.
Ratchet: an updated voyager version of his movie 1 self would be my go to.
Ironhide: Same as Ratchet, I liked him better with the cannons permanently on his arms.
Bumblebee: His TLK look is the perfect look for me.
Jazz: only 1 to go on, and it's good with me.
Sideswipe: I actually preferred his DotM look, especially since he got stealth force. And he looked a smidge better for some reason.
Skids and Mudflap: DotM color schemes work better for me.
Jolt: I liked the RotF colors more than the DotM toy's
Wreckers: they are perfect in the one form they show up in.
Jetfire: good as is. really need one that combined a bit better with Prime
Arcees: eh, I wasn't a fan of any of their looks
Dino: good as is
Que: good as is, actually really liked his looks and his toy is one of my favorites
Crosshairs: Liked his look
Drift: I preferred the red and black look to him, shame the toy wasn't better
Hound: I preferred the AoE look
Wheelie/Brains: good as were.
Dinobots: good looks as they were.
DecepticonsMegatron: TLK was by far the best design he had, no regrets owning 6 versions of him.
Starscream: I kinda preferred the tribal tattooes, it's why I'm waiting out that version of the voyager
Blackout/Bonecrusher/Brawl/Frenzy/Scorponok: movie 1
Constructicons: RotF (and give us a combiner Devastator toy please in this line!!!)
Soundwave: DotM
Barricade: really hard choice, I liked both designs almost equally, slight edge to TLK
TLK guys: TLK look
Stinger: AoE
