    Though I didn't put it on my list, I'll second (third?) this. i just ordered Darkwind because I liked the Silverbolt mold and love the colors on this thing. I couldn't find it in a Toys R Us around here so I found it online.

    I agree, it really is. I should have included him, Cyclonus and Dinobot. Henkei Dinobot in particular is an absolute gem and a must for anyone into Beast Wars.

    Happy 2010 everybody. :D  Animated Blurr would have to be my favorite out of 2009's Transformers.

    Happy New Year 2010 TFW2005! Thank you for another wonderful year of News, thoughtful discussion and entertainment. You fellows and gals remain my most favorite TF site since the early days of alt.toys.transformers. May you remain strong and keep winning awards at Botcons!

    P.S. I have no favorite TFs for 2009, I love them all. ;)

    Lot's of MP Grimlock!

    My favorite of the year would probably go to Rotf Soundwave. This is probably my second favorite redesign behind Animated Soundwave. I love the bot mode. Nice amount of detail and nicely articulated. The vehicle modes are cool in their own way I think. The panels have so much movement that you can practically make your own vehicle mode.

    Runner Ups-

    Rotf Voyager Demolisher
    Rotf Deluxe Ice Cream Twins
    Universe Deluxe Hound
    Universe Deluxe Starscream
    Animated Voyager Purple Shockwave

    My top figure for the year would have to be RotF Voyager Bludgeon. Runners-up would be TFCC Heatwave, HA Bumblebee, RotF Deluxe Sideswipe, TFA Samurai Prowl and TFA Shockwave (purple).

    I'm planning on getting the Hasbro version of MP Grimlock, so that might make my list next year.

    Masterpiece Grimlock alone is #1 because like many have said he is about the only MP
    that is built to hold and play with,regardless of it being an adult collectible,and when
    has any other MP been this anticipated when they said it.So MP Grimlock stands way
    out from other figures released this year,and he will remain the best MP ever even if
    they were to do every other G1 character,except maybe the other dinobots,then it
    would be an MP Set,how cool would that be.

    Definitely MP Grimlock by a landslide but Universe Cyclonus is definitely runnerup.

    That says it right there. I think most of my Animated faves are actually 2008 toys. A few of the staff faves left me with the "wow, seriously?" feeling, but to each his/her own.

    A few of my '09 faves:
    Masterpiece Grimlock (whoa, really? :)  )
    Animated Wreck-Gar
    Universe Hound
    Human Alliance Skids
    Botcon Razorclaw
    (extras: Legends Cosmos & Universe Roadbuster with the Nato-Bot custom kit.)

    Honestly I had a hard time picking this year as it was kinda a miss this year with ROTF and all (and I dont care for Animated). Aside from Henkei I was pretty unimpressed with TF's in 2009.
