G1 Prime anyone?

Seriously.

That toy is the lone reason we're all here. I can understand that MP Convoy is truely a superior version of G1 Prime, but greatest of all time? G1 Prime.

Everything a prime should have or be.

We can't leave him off the list. It's not fair to ignore his contribution, almost like it's not fair to allow him to compete.

G1 Prime wins so hands down above all other Transformers that the title of this thread should be "Who do you view as the greatest tf of all time, excluding G1 Prime as G1 Prime would have obviously won otherwise?"

Never owned G1 Prime.
Never cared to.
Still don't.

In fact I don't think I owned a single Prime until maybe 4 years ago(as long as you don't count Primals) when I bought RiD Prime for cheap.

It's heresy, I know, but Prime did nothing for me as a kid, infact I don't remember giving a flying f*** when he was killed off in the movie.

For me if it weren't for Jetfire, Soundwave, and the Dinobots I may have never gotten into TF's, but Prime... meh.

MP/20th Prime only made my list because he is so well made and such a great homage that it actually made me give a damn about Prime for once.

The easiest way for me to answer this would be to think of my house as burning and I could only save 1...

Optimal Optimus

I have rarer, I have funner, but I don't have such a perfect merger of the two.

As others have stated, RID Scourge is my favorite of all time.

totally agree. the perfect combination (so far, i'm open to more possibilities!) of Machine and Beast. the penultimate Beast Wars figure, even better than Air Attack Primal IMHO.

Hah. Using the house is burning scenario, I would, being right handed, grab MP Prime in my right hand, his trailer in my left, grab MP Megs with my teeth, and then proceed to run out the door.






Once they're safe, I'll consider going back in for my gf and the cats......






Who's kidding?

Very subjetive question, well in my case, is Kup.

I have to go with G1 Soundwave...
Just always loved the character--
the fact he had his own "crew",
had a cool bot mode (his head is basically the Decepticon symbol),
and he was always so fun to play with as a kid.

Runner-up's
Classics Prime
The G1 Dinobots

As this is in the toys forum this isn't a question about the character but the actual toy. While the G1 figure was amazing in his day surely most would agree that Masterpiece Prime is far superior in terms of:
1) appearance (he looks better regardless of the fact that he looks more like the animation than the G1 toy does);
2) playability (he's so poseable - as a kid I was always frustrated that the toys hardly moved, plus MP comes with so many accessories);
3) sheer size (what a sight to behold - he's huge!)

Even so, he isn't everyone's favourite.

i reckon i'd have to go with the dinobots, they were my favorites when i was little and i still love 'em now. devastator comes a close second, followed by omega prime.

1st : Skywarp MP
2nd : MP-4
3rd : BT-18 Clear Mirage

This is a hard question but my favourite tf I have would be predaking he's beautiful however you look at him. My runners up would be -
Optimal optimus - I've had him since I got him one christmas and he's still complete, he's also a munky which is one way to win me over.
Apeface - he looks cool he's both a triple changer and a headmaster and he's a munky.
power master optimus prime (god ginrai) - He just looks cool.
Six shot - He's probably the tallest transformer I own (except scorponok) and he looks great.
purple galvatron - Galvatron was the first transformer I ever got and to have him in cartoon colors was great aswell.
MP Megatron - he's the only masterpiece I own and the best looking transformer in my collection, he would of ranked higher if he weren't such a pain to transform.
I would of put more like classics jetfire and primus but I the others just beat them.

Sure man, look at my blog here: http://rodr-evil.blogspot.com/

tough question....

If you want the most impressive in terms of size, I would go with Fortress Maximus. If you are talking about the most recognizable figure, it would be Optimus Prime.
