Just found a clearance sale at the local Toys R Us, and I need some suggestions on any TF figures that are not to be missed.

Anything from Universe 2.0 to Classics to Animated.

I'm personally a fan of Prime, Starscream and Megatron.

Planning to drop by either later or tomorrow, so I need some quick suggestions.

Thanks in advance.

Do you know what's available? Most of the deluxe classics 2.0 are quite nice shy of the Beast Wars ones...but that probably just because I think BW is lame. Powerglide and Onsaught are decent as is Inferno. Haven't opened it yet, but supposedly Animated Ultra Magnus is a good figure and I believe they're on sale for $20.

Thanks, Kibble.

I haven't been there yet, but the pics in the ad include Star Wars crossovers, Animated, Universe, and Cybertron. I guess they're all assorted old stock.

Onslaught and Inferno are great. Leo Prime is ok for a repaint since he's a new character. All the deluxes are solid, especially the ones with partners like Hound, Cyclonus and Hot Shot

Thanks for the suggestions, guys. As it turns out, the store was packed full of ROTF and 2007 movie figures, with only a couple of Beast Wars figs.

In any case, I got ROTF Long Haul. It was either him or Mixmaster, since the only ones I haven't got are Arcee, HA Bumblebee, and Flare-up, which haven't been released by Takara yet. I finally went with Long Haul, because I hated Maixmaster's head sculpt.

Anyways, thanks.
