    Animated Jazz. It's fun and really accurate to the show.

    I'd echo the Classics Mirage sentiment. Tall and really articulated and poseable. Plus, if you can't find Mirage himself, you can get the Wal*Mart Fracture repaint (even if it is pink...)

    Yeah I agree, classics Mirage (repaint as Fracture in movie packaging at US Wal-Marts now) is a great, great figure and the best for posability perhaps ever.

    I'd recommend Universe Classics 2.0 Sunstreaker or Sideswipe.

    I bought one!!!! I went to two walmarts and searched through literally hundreds of TF's. I was searching for everything you all mentioned especially animated Prowl and landmine. I never found landmine but I did find ONE Prowl and I grabbed him! He is pretty freaking sweet! Wish he had a gun but the throwing stars are pretty BA. Anyways I think I will at least search for the landmine as well. It would be awesome if someone numbered the toys that have been suggested from most promising to least promising.... Let me know! Thanks for all the help guys! There are so many transformers at the store that it is very overwhelming to just walk in and look at em! Plus you cant really see what they look like in robot mode so Im always scared there articulation will suck.

    Prowl is pretty sweet! his joints are kinda loose at his hips but Ill dab some super glue in and he will be fine. his hands dont work very well but its all good. Other than that he is awesome, havent tried putting a Joe on him yet :)

    Now that you have Prowl, you need Oil Slick.

    He's like Prowl if he was possesed by a Hellboy monster.

    Hey, I'm just wondering if you've noticed the feedback forum on this site?
    It's very helpful for looking at a toys features and deciding on which figures you may want to purchase.

    I would go with any of the new universe deluxe figures they are nice and give a good balance of most of the lines

    Animated Ultra Magnus, Animated Jazz, Animated Prowl, Animated Grimlock, Animated Earth Mode Megatron, G1 Shockwave, Animated Shockwave, Animated Starscream



    essentially every animated toy is awesome + G1 Shockwave

    Except probably not G1 Shockwave. Not that I don't love him (Or rather the KO that I do have), but he hardly has the articulation that FK's after.

    animated ultra magnus doesnt look like he has waist articulation which is important, he is also really expensive. Jazz looks pretty awesome! His chest is a little to thick and his vehicle mode is kinda weak but his articulation is sweet which is the most important thing to me. Animated grimlocks untransformed mode is lame to me and his robot form lacks articulation due to bulkiness on his chest and shoulders. Animated Earth Mode Megatron is ok. he looks expensive though and to me he looks just kinda mediocre. animated shockwave doesnt look like he is very playable. Starscream has too many joints on his legs and his waist doesnt swivel. classics starscream looks like his wasit doesnt swivel and his arms look too short.

    Thanks for trying to help me find the toys I will enjoy the most. I am amazed at the awesomeness of my animated prowl but I am still searching for my second transformer.... so far Jazz is looking like the only one I might be interested in. Keep the suggestions coming!

    Been there, mentioned that to him.

    Since articulation is definitely sounding like a necessity, then your next figure should be Fracture. She's part of the Movie line and is exclusive to Wal-Mart, but is a repaint of Classics Mirage, who deservedly has received heaps of praise over the years for what he can do. It's a challenge for many TFs to balance while standing on one leg. Mirage can stand on one hand.

    Animated blitzwing can pull off some cool poses.

    blitzwing, sadly, is out of my price range.... As far as Fracture. I think its an awesome looking toy and I think it will be the next one I pick up.... Im also interested in landmine and whatever guy it is that has like 2 guns on each arm that fold out.... I forget the name, hope hes in stores though!

    Revoltech is cool but I really enjoy shopping for toys and TF have the nostalgia thing going for them because I used to play with beast machines and watch the show.

    Can fracture really balance on one hand? thats insane if you are serious!
