No favorite line, really. I just pick what I want from each line, they're all "TRANSFORMERS SERIES" for me.
Classics/Universeas my #1 with RiD a close second. Both have awesome transformers and spawned two of the best Primes to date.
G1 is my absolute favorite, and Classics/Universe 2.0 is a close second. I'd say RiD gets and honorable mention, the only thing that makes it fall is the toys were too involved IMO.
1. Masterpiece (hope they keep them coming) 2. Alts/BT (especially the ones that are a good representation of thier G1 character) 3. G1 Thats about all I collect. I do have classic Cliffjumber and Bumblebee as minibots to display with my Masterpiece collection. If they release any other minibots in that series and in that size I will add them as well.
BEST: Masterpiece- its the end all be all for G1 fans G1- not much articulation but theres just something about them. Worst: Beast Machines- the toys dont look like the show characters at all with maybe the closest being rattrap. Its almost like the toys were designed for a different show's characters.
In order. G1 Movie Classics/universe and I never thought I would say this but the animated is starting to grow on me.
Well this is some Good insight I hope people keep on posting there favorite Transformers lines... and poor Beastmachines feels stabbed. Ah well keep it comeing Guys
G1 is my favorite of all time. It's all I buy now, if I was still seriously collecting. Some honorable mentions would be Beast Wars and RID.
Being a child of the 80's I think there will be a no duh factor to my list. My ranking of the TF toys; 1) G1, Nostalgia and where it all began. 2) Machine Wars / G2 3) Classics 1.0 & 2.0, Can't go wrong with updates of the original. 4) Cybertron, Love the line or not it has some great molds in it! 5) Energon 6) Alternators / Masterpiece 7) RID / 2007 Movie 8) Armada 9) Beast Wars 10) Beast Machines
G1 - started it all. Iconic characters. How can you not like toys like Prowl, Soundwave, Ultra Magnus and the Seekers? G2 - continued G1, gave us Laser Rods and Storm Troopers. Great Basic size cars that fit in nicely with G1 Jazz and co. We've gotten the Laser Cycles and Dreadwing in RID and Robotmasters. Someone needs to re-release Gobots, Hydra Dread, Rage, Volt, Sizzle and the rest. Robotmasters - gave us some G2 repaints and great new molds like the Seekers, Leo Victory, Lio Convoy and Optimus Primal. RID - gave us the Spychangers with the best colour schemes since the first year of G1. They need more homages. Can't forget Scourge, Omega Prime and the Autobot Brothers either. Titaniums - gave us the WW seeker mold that we all wanted since the opening of MTMTE in 1984. Energon - Rodimus, Scorponok, Starscream, love the Basics. Movie - love the Decepticons because they fit in with the G1 originals. Have that air of realism we haven't gotten in years. Wreckage, Payload, Blackout and Incinerator, love those guys. Also like the Real Gears.
Hang on, Volt and Sizzle? They were Hotrod and Fireball over here. Did Ireland get the US names on stuff (including the so-called Autobot Cyberjets with the Decepticon logos), or have you just caved and call them what they do?
hmmm specifically TF? or any toys in general if it's TF 1- G1 for nostalgia 2- Animated line which i Love 3- hoping to score my first MP - Grimlock! for NON TF 1- Yamato's revised 1/60 line on Macross VF-1S with Super/Strike parts! 2-Neca's TMNT 3- Minimates
Masterpiece / Alternators (I consider them the same series given the detail & complexity) Classics / Universe G1 Animated Robot Heroes (I'm addicted to these little things!) If the line never got cancelled, Titanium War Within would have been in there too.
