this is a hard category, but it should be the best transformer toy from this movie so far. I would have to say my pick is definitely for Optimus Prime Leader Class, with Deluxe BoneCrusher coming in a close run for second with Voyager Ironhide..

Why Optimus prime Leader class???

Great articulation, cool action features, very pose-able, good likeness barring the blockiness.. awesome color applications, perfect size..I mean this is just a nice piece all together, its not something that came from Takara Tomy or Japan, but for a Transformer to be produced by Hasbro, its a fine piece of work. the figure is massive and very heavy and makes the price seem worth it. though I purchased mine at Wal-mart for a cool $29.99.. so I'm very pleased!!!

Though I agree with you about Prime and Ironhide, my vote for best deluxe goes to Barricade.

yes Barricade almost became my second choice and Tie with Ironhide, but I was very happy with his deluxe incarnation and hope that a Voyager or a leader class is made someday.. Bonecrusher won out simply because he is such a unique transformer that I just couldn't put him down!! he was fascinating in design and the fact that he and optimus take that rumble on the Highway just makes him more of a favorite to me!!!

I love Ironhide and Robovision Prime

Deluxe Jazz is still the best, he'll be a tough one to beat.

I have to go with Leader Prime.

I have to say my leader class megatron and jazz

I'd have to say '08 Bumblebee. He looks the most like his movie incarnation, IMO.

My vote goes to Deluxe Jazz. It's wicked even with the deformed hands

I have to vote for robo-vision prime because he doesn't have any of electinic lights and sounds which I find I like less and less each time I transform a figure that has the gimick, Also he has to two guns unstead of the one gun welded to his hand.

I guess my vote would have to be for Bonecrusher and RV Prime. They both pwn so hard.

Voyager Ratchet

Runner up Robo Vision Prime

Since I only have a few I will vote for Barricade..

Seconded.

Although I am looking forward to Voyager Ironhide and Ratchet.

Blackout, a real beaut of a toy, simple, clean and cool

I vote for Scorponok. No...wait, what am I saying? That one is the worst one! HORRIBLE!

Going to have to go with ironhide...

Yeah, out of the small handfull I have, it's really close between him and Bonecrusher, but I'll go with you on Barricade.

I cast my vote for Voyager Starscream.

Yes, you read that right. Voyager Starscream.

I bought Leader Megatron, who is a letdown in alt mode, but his robot mode has presence. Leader Prime is a very cool figure, but very underwhelming for me. Just kind of blah.

Anyway, I have all the figures from the movie line that I wanted, so I am done.

Unless they release a Leader Starscream. But dreams like this never come true for me, so Voyager SS will be fine.

scorp BY FAR!!!!

I concede, for a deluxe, he has a killer alt mode, and awesome detailing.

But that "robot" mode is just a joke. An insult to Scorponok fans everywhere. They could have at least pretended that they cared...

Leader Prime and Ironhide are the best two. Everything else is a close second though.

Wreckage is excellent, even WITH the 'downward looking head', and Deluxe Jazz is amazingly poseable for such a stocky fig, so for the Deluxes it's a tossup for me between those two. And for the Real Gear toys, Longview is not only the best Real Gear, he's the best Basic PERIOD to come out in a very long time.

My vote goes for Blackout. Just. Plain. Awesome.

that gun can detach you know. it is a little annoying so i display mine with the unnattached gun. His two bottom cannons are still pretty nice and compact though, and I find it just looks overall better without that big hulky slide on cannon
