Which of your TF's makes you smile just looking at it?

[Shockwave 75]

It doesn't have to be the most expensive one in your collection, or the rarest one you own. Just one (or more) that just make you smile when you look at it/them.

My most recent one would have to be my Ehobby Twincast. I just love it! I know that there is nothing really special about it. It's just a blue Blaster with a slightly bigger chest compartment. But it brings back memories of my childhood hearing "legends" about the mythical black Soundwave and blue Blaster that could hold two cassttes! But they only existed in Japan. I thought that I would never even get to see one, and now I own one.

It's just too cool!

Same with my God Ginrai. Hearing stories about an extra trailer for Powermaster Prime, but again, only in Japan. And now it's mine.

Brave Maximus too. When I got him I spent an hour just staring at him.

So how about you?

[Windcharger]

Chiche, yes, but Optimus Prime 20th. With all the little gears and hydrolics and extras, I'm always a proud owner when I see him on the shelf.

[Takara_destron]

G2 Megatron.

[IhsantheCursed]

My BC 07' GoD Bugbite and Dreadwind.

[EvaUnit13]

Masterpiece US Starscream

[Draven]

I second God Ginrai, for the same sort of reason as you, Shockwave75. It's just such a cool toy, and it's awesome that we finally got him reissued.
Probably the one that makes me smile the most, though, is Liokaiser. I wanted one for years, and when I finally did get the giftset it only set me back $175. :)
Close runenrs up would be G1 Megatron & Shockwave; I never had them as a kid (Shockwave didn't even come out over here), so I was over the moon when I finally did.

[knook]

RID Scourge for me, He's too awesome

[IhsantheCursed]

RID Scourge for me, He's too awesome

Seconded there.

[Autobot X]

The whole Cybertron Defense Team, but especially Scattorshot. He definitely got the most extensive upgrade.

I also lurve me some Cybertron Downshift. I don't know what it is about him...I just can't help myself from playing with him. As soon as I saw the Big Daddy repaint announcement, I knew he would be mine as well. Just two blocks of win and awesomecraft.

[Soundblaster1]

None of them do any more... I'm hoping Argent Meister manages to pull that off when it gets here.

If I had to come up with the one that manages to make me less angry... Animated Voyager Bulkhead.

[Switch625]

My Masterpiece Optimus Prime, Megatron and US Starscream. They're just awesome and I wish I could put them under glass or something. Also gotta go with my G1 Dinobots.

[eriku]

G1 Soundwave. Appeals to the kid in me, appeals to the adult in me, appeals to the articulation nut it me, appeals to the gadgetformer nut in me, and works the nostalgia factor hard.

Also to a lesser degree would be WST Soundwave and MP3 Soundwave, but mostly because they emulate their grand-daddy.

[Codimus Prime]

Minibots!!!

[Taker]

My RID Prime. A jerk sold it to me like at 20% of its real price. He didn't know what he had, he put the price, I bought it, I smile now.

[Kingplay]

Animated Prime Voyager

[IhsantheCursed]

My RID Prime. A jerk sold it to me like at 20% of its real price. He didn't know what he had, he put the price, I bought it, I smile now.

So why was he a jerk?

[IronhideTF]

I don't own it yet but GT-R Convoy.

[Caine]

Robot Heroes Megatron

[Rodr-Evil]

My Kup and his box, my Metroplex too, minibots...

[repair_bay]

Headmaster Rodney and my Reissue Stepper. So beautiful =D

[Autovolt 127]

I guess Cybertron Galvatron.

[SPLIT LIP]

A few:

Sky-byte. (he's a happy shark)
G1 Starscream.
Primal Prime.
Activator's Bumblebee.
Voyager Bulkhead.
Waspinator.

[Feralstorm]

Leader Bulkhead - He's just enjoyable to look at.

[NGW]

My G1 Screamer, which is the first TF I bought when I decided to get back into collecting. All of my Animated figures (minus deluxe Megs), BW 10th Anniv. Waspinator, love the character.

[LoC Soundwave]

My Generation 2 Stealth Assault. It just brings back happy memories from when one was a kid with no worries in the world... ah, good times :)

[Crimson Primus]

Activators BB and Voyager Bulky...

[optimus major]

my "collecor stuff" shelf containing 20th prime, bw reissue waspinator, and reissues sideswipe and ricochet

and my cyb buzzsaw...reminds me of my old lost friend

[XJunky]

The first Transformer that got me back in to collecting was Rodimus Prime, so that would probably rank #1. I've wanted that toy since 1986 and had to wait 15 years for it. A close #2 would be the TRU Japan God Fire Convoy giftset. I bought it off eBay while I was on my honeymoon in Ireland and it was waiting for me when I got home. Best 2 weeks of my life.

[Wazzpinator]

Jazz movie premium

Waspinator

Henkei Megs and Screamy

Leader movie Prime. He has a huge special value to him.

[dmc2008]

Great thread, had me thinking... Even with the awesome hauls I've had lately, this one always turns my head:

http://i270.photobucket.com/albums/jj101/dmc2012/DSC01519.jpg


...even though he is the DVD version...

[Opticron Primal]

Armada Unicron......reminds me of the good ol' days.....where transformers were actual new molds and not repaints......

Him and all the classics together. They just harbor the feeling of Generation 1.

[Wazzpinator]

Great thread, had me thinking... Even with the awesome hauls I've had lately, this one always turns my head:




...even though he is the DVD version...

I find that prime's voice so funny.

[G1Wheeljack]

Armada Sideways, he's the one that got me into collecting.

[Nightwind]

The two for me are my PowerMaster Prime from when I was a kid and G1 Galvatron. I loved his crazy @ss in the movie!

[WhiteMocha]

G1 Metroplex, G1 Wheeljack, and G1 Swoop. For some reason those three evoke the strongest memories of having/coveting them as a kid (had the latter two, coveted the first).

Of the more recent figs, Animated Jazz and Soundwave, Classics Bumblebee, and the Classics Seekers make me happy to own them.

[shroobmaster]

Voyager Lugnut, but that's because he's currently riding Movie Arcee and it looks damned funny.

[Renidragon]

G1 Targetmaster Hot Rod. Well, I got the Takara book style reissue, but the toy itself just feels like a new version of the original anyway. That was the ONE toy I always wanted as a kid, and never ever got. :(

[Ceasar121]

Masterpiece Starscream (US) with the cornonation getup. Just makes him look badass.

[Moonstreaker]

Predaking

[Shark Jumper]

Sky Lynx, space chicken ftw.

[justinRODimus]

henkei hot rodimus (lol, i dont have it yet but hot rod is my favorite character and i don't have a classics version. the manga cover looks badass too. can't wait till i get mine.)

[Paradigm-Shift Prime]

G1 Scorponok in nice new condition...mmm

[gonzo23]

MP MEGATRON!! just so cartoon accurate! and my leader and voyager bulkheads because thet just look funny! all fat and stuff!!!


yay 200!! sorry

[unmc2001]

MP Prime is #1 but right up there are MP Megatron(never thought we would get one) and my G1 Jetfire and Shockwave (these are two of the coolest G1 originals).

[ActionMasterZod]

G2 Sideswipe.
My first G1 toy, with a kick ass color scheme.

[Locke]

The whole Cybertron Defense Team, but especially Scattorshot. He definitely got the most extensive upgrade.



Me too. CD Scattorshot is right at the top of my list. Sure, he has flaws, and je isn't the 'best' Transformer, but he's definitely my fave.

Lately, Crossovers Hulk is another one that makes me smile. Good articulation, good 'Hulk Smash' features, and great personality. I used to think that I hated gimmicks, but the ones with the best gimmicks are the ones that I seem to pick up the most. Who knew?

[BustaJesse]

Powermaster Optimus Prime. I love this toy.

[wheeljaxx]

My refelctors, and my spyshot 6's, and my soundwaves

[Dropshot]

Definately my repaints, I'm not convicned with how some of them turned out, but they are the best looking figures in my collection.

[sixshot2K]

My G1 Darkwing or my G1 Ultra Magnus cab

[Optimus Sledge]

Revoltech Megatron. But mainly because mine is wearing a hat and carrying a Colt 1911. Just need to find him a coat.

[SydneyY]

RiD Car Brothers. I look at them and tell them that I love them a lot. I do.

[Rdfnd1253]

My blue big convoy!! =)

I freaking love this figure but might be forced to sell it. SUREEEE will miss it if I do sell it/

[nintendofreakgc]

Hmm, let me think:

G1 Superion: just something about him that dominates everything else.

Movie Leader Brawl: G2 Megatron used to take this spot, but this guy increases the badass quotient and adds a host of cool features on top.

Movie Longarm: A brilliantly executed toy all-round.

Unleashed Bumblebee: The start of my modern TF collection, so this will always hold a special place in my heart.

G1 Skram: The first Transformer I remember buying as a kid, and the one I played with most often. The fact that it's still in decent condition truly amazes me.

[Moonstreaker]

Almost forgot...Sky Garry

[Backscatter]

They all make me smile with few exceptions, Wheelie, BM Nightscream, and a few of the most ugly Beasts. But even they have a place in my collection.

[ninety]

In no particular order:

All my Megs, especially MP and MC-13, I like MC-13 even more than G1.

G1 Scorpy.

All my Brutici.

KO Kabayas, there's just something about building your own TF.

Dozer!

I was going to try to pick a favourite, but ended up with this list!

[TCracker]

Alternators Nemesis Prime

[SCOURGE33]

RID Scourge does the trick for me

[Icetron]

MP G1 Starscream
TRU Soundwave Reissue
TRU Lazerbeak Reissue...
Optimal Optimus
Henkei Convoy

:lol That's a lot

[heshanj]

ive just got movie line and animated...none of the movie ones make me smile...but the animated starscream, definitely..its probably that season 2 finale of TFA, where starscream is quite hilarious (all the clones) that makes me laugh when i think of it :D

[aussiehippy]

BW Ironhide. His elephant mode always makes me smile, it's silly.

I kinda want the Japanese beasts that turn into a Penguin and a Giraffe for the same reason.

[LigerPrime]

For me its G1 Optimus!!! Thank God for reissues! :D

[Cataclizm1]

All of my Alternators.

[rizuan76]

Deluxe movi 08 B'bee & MP Starscream.

B'bee b'coz he was so elusive & hard to find at the height of the TF movi popularity, i'll never forget that.

While MP-Starscream he was my first masterpiece figure (i drove the s'pore Hasbro rep nuts by calling them at least once a week enquiring abt the figure release date, that's how obsessed i am when looking for it at that point of time)

[Grimlock_13]

The Classics line.

[Kingplay]

http://www.geocities.com/duom/tfproject/gfcsword.JPG

[LordStanley1893]

Masterpiece Megatron

[Liege Prime]

I second God Ginrai, for the same sort of reason as you, Shockwave75. It's just such a cool toy, and it's awesome that we finally got him reissued.
Probably the one that makes me smile the most, though, is Liokaiser. I wanted one for years, and when I finally did get the giftset it only set me back $175. :)
Close runenrs up would be G1 Megatron & Shockwave; I never had them as a kid (Shockwave didn't even come out over here), so I was over the moon when I finally did.

I have to say God Ginrai as well, and the TRU reissue. PM Prime was my favorite toy growing up. He bacame drab and kinda dirty, and stickers peeled. But, I did manage to keep all his guns and Hi-Q. Anyways, to be able to have both the Japanese and US minty fresh rerelease with extra parts I never knew existed... well, it makes me smile.

Also, I have to say any G1 Prime I have, Cybertron Optimus Prime (definitely my favorite modernized Prime), and my MISB Encore Megatron. Megatron doesn't look great as a bot so much, but the packaging and gun look amazing. Animated Grimlock and Universe Prowl are up there to, but we will see about the longevity of it.

[rizuan76]

http://www.geocities.com/duom/tfproject/gfcsword.JPG

Nice. one of my RID grails.

[Mospeada]

Kind of a silly choice, but RiD Ratchet (X-Brawn repaint) is one of the toys that got me buying TF again several years ago.

[rikkuluverx2]

for me it has to be animated voyager bulkhead and animated grimlock. theyre just so adorable xD...

-rikkuluverx2

[Moonstreaker]

Every time I go in my office it's something else...LOL. This time it was Galaxy Force Starscream & Soundblaster.

[Rodr-Evil]

Today was Metroplex.. I love that toy... damn.

[Travicon]

MP megatron, i freakin love that guy!
