They immediately come to mind - especially Starscream. With just a new set of wings, it changes the character of the toy completely. I just wish Hasbro would do 25th Acid Storm using the mold

4? I count 5 releases of this mould to date with at least one more to come, Classics Mirage, Botcon Mirage, Henkei Lieger, Walmart Fracture, Special Edition Dragstrip and Electron Discharge Lieger. Agreed on the choice though, it's a damned fine TF.

The MP and Galaxy Force Seeker moulds are up there for me.

Vector Prime, although the remould for Botcon Alpha Trion is my favourite version.

The RX8 and 'vette Bin/Alts.

City Commander. Simply the best toy of last year (which wasn't a bad year).

RiD Car Brothers. Really need to track down the rest of the repaints.

G2 Laser Prime. A perfect example of loads of features not getting in the way of a great toy.

G2 Hero Megatron.

Superlink Galvatron, much better at this size than the Energon Leader class version.

Many, many more but that's most of the main ones I think.

Out of curiosity which of the released versions are you missing? I've got all of the released ones except the Henkei {nicer but too similar to the Classics to justify). Also there was a rumour going around a while back of a red and orange version that would be released as Sureshot, possibly as a future Special Edition release. As far as I'm aware we've never seen any pictures of so much as a test shot figure so I've no idea where the rumour came from but should it ever come to pass it'd be a definate grab.

Maybe Movie delux BB, maybe Movie leader Megs. When I started painting them and comparing them to pics I noticed how detailed and accurate parts of the molds are. And I just love the complexity and tiny details in the Movie line eg the cables INSIDE leader Prime's wrists where his hands go in alt mode.

Let's see... Classics Mirage is just amazing, and I think underrated. Almost Revoltech posability in something that transforms AND a great homage to the original character? People who don't love this mold just shouldn't be allowed to express opinions on anything.

THS-02 Prime. Tiny, posable, so many accessories. Yes, the truck mode kinda sucks. But getting effectively an MP Prime at that size buys it a little something.

Movie Voyager Prime. Again, underrated but great. Get it in First Strike colours and wonder exactly why we had to put up with the blue and flames colours in the Movie.

You know what? Almost any Prime aside from Armada. They're all good.
