Best: 1. Warpath: awesome bot, alt mode, and solid articulation. Plus lots of personality on the paint apps and clip weapon integration. 2. Jetfire: he takes a lot of heat on the board, but he's an awesome homage of a bot that won't ever see a commemorative edition. 3. Bumblebee: captures a lot the personality and proportions of the G1 character. Worst: 1. Thunderwing: the transformation is lame and the alt mode seems like a robot laying flat. The removable probe feature feels lame. Plus, his deluxe mode sizing really down plays the terror you should feel coming in waves from his robot mode. Bought him on clearance and regretted it. 2. Kup: I'm about $20+ into 3rd party upgrades between weapons and alt heads. Next up comes Reprolabels. The fact it's taking this much work to make him cool speaks volumes about the toy, plus the transformation is brutal in difficulty. And once I'm done, I'll still be dealing with horrible arm articulation thanks to the door kibble. Of course the fact I keep tossing money down the hole also betrays how much I love the character, even if the toy is bad. 3. Powerglide: the bot mode is so ugly I can't buy him, and Powerglide is way up there on my list of favorite autobots.
Top: Bumblebee (2006) Optimus Prime (2006 Voyager) Warpath (Generations) - - (more top: ) Jazz (RTS) Hound (Universe) Cyclonus Megatron (both 2006 voyager and RTS legends versions) Roadbuster (cybertron repaint w/ Nato-Bot kit) Bottom: Galvatron Powerglide Grimlock - - (...and more) Cheetor Tankor/Octane
Best: 1. Dirge 2. Mirage 3. Thunderwing Worst (not necessarily bad, just sub-par or disappointing): 1. Cheetor 2. Skullgrin 3. WFC Cliffjumper In my opinion, Side Swipe's new head and his slight mold rot is fairly inferior to Sunstreaker. But still, both are cool toys and I wouldn't say that Side Swipe was a bad toy like Incepticon said.
Top: Tracks Jazz Megatron gun mode Bottom: Grimlock never really worked for me 2-Pack G2 tank Megatron and G1 cab Prime were a mess
