List of under-appreciated figures

I recently showed my nephew my collection of transformers.
I got to show him a couple of great deluxe figures I had nearly forgotten about.
Figures like energon Rodimus (did you guys realise he is a race semi-truck!), HftD Terradive, Universe Cyclonus (he deserves the same amount of love as his big brother from kingdom!) and classics Astrotrain.

Afterwards I checked how expensive most of these toys would be to buy for my nephew, and was surprised to learn for how little most of them are selling.

Which made me decide that it might be an interesting shared exercise to make a list.
What are figures you guys really love but that don't get the appreciation they deserve on ebay or facebook marketplace?

Warm regards,
Sculyblast

G1 Wheelie. Those broad upper body proportions. Skinny legs (skip leg day). The unique head/face sculpt. Transformation is intuitive.
Doesn't get enough love from the fandom.

MP01 Takara Masterpiece Convoy.
The subsequent numerous new molds of MP Convoy have improved on portions etc etc. But the original Masterpiece Convoy had size & heft.

Having said this... MP02 Ultra Magnus. The less we talk about it the better.
