    I like the look of FOC Optimus Prime, toy and game model.

    HA Leadfoot is pretty cool. Unique.

    Deluxe Prime Knock Out is a really nice deluxe.

    I like the bike sisters from ROTF. I just wish we had a different mold for Elita-1.

    Voyager Prime Starscream looks so much better than FE Starscream.

    Love G1, hate the '80's toys...I could build a house with those bricks.

    I enjoyed Armada, toyline and show.

    I couldn't care less about scale as long as it is a cool toy or representation of a character.

    YES.

    I LOVE Blazemaster

    ROTF was the best movie line

    Alternators and Human Alliance are my all time favs, and most underrated next to PCC

    I think ROTF Mindwipe isn't nearly half as good as people claim he is.

    I third the notion that PCC's are horribly underrated. I own almost all of the molds that were released in two packs (only missing Skyhammer/Airlift, and I chose to skip him because I think the robot mode looks like crap) and they are all fantastic scouts who fit rather nicely into the Classics aesthetic.

    I doubt this counts as an unpopular opinion as I'm pretty sure most of us feel that way.

    Here is my 2cp:

    ROTF Mixmaster has fun and intuitive transformation steps, although I'll admit it's a PITA to pose well.

    Masterpiece seeker wings are not fragile.

    Hercules is an overrated cash grab and repeatedly not enough thought was put in to checking essential components were up to the task. However no one wants to admit this due to the substantial investment made to complete the set.

    I like action masters but they belong in gen one where overall articulation was lacking

    Yeah, as much as i like redecos like SS/TC/SW, i dont like them being the same character like UT megs and galvatron. If i was to own those types of redecos i would repurpose them like:
    Armada Megatron as Onslaught while Armada Galvatron is Megatron
    Energon Megatron as Galvatron-different character- and Energon Galvatron as Megatron
    Cybertron Megatron as Megatron and Cybertron galvatron as Gigatron

    Troop building should not just be based on fiction, you can troop build any character you want, regardless if there weren't multiples of him/her in the cartoons/comicbooks.

    MP-10 will not replace my MP-4

    MP-5 is not a fragile POS as soo many say

    KO & reissue should never be in the same sentence

    There is such a thing as excessive Chrome (looks at TakaraTomy)

    Exclusives are not as exclusive as we are lead to believe (looks at FE Shining Prime)

    Don't care about scale...an awesome fig is an awesome fig
    Beast anything is absolute garbage and has no place in the TF universe
    Animated is the greatest incarnation of TF
    The movie line is terrible and may be the downfall of TF

    Cyberverse is overrated

    Stickers > Paint

    Mini-Con ports actually make figures look interesting

    Chrome's ugly

    HFDT was an overrated line

    The "new" RID is mostly boring figures

    Too realistic alt-modes are bland

    FE Vehicon is better than RID, only because of the cape

    The "cancelled" figures from the past year are mostly overrated

    Mini-Cons/Microns/Targetmasters > Accurate smaller weapons

    FE Bulkhead hails in comparison to the PRID.

    I like PRID Prime better than the FE version.

    I love Prime Dead End's colors.

    I don't see the appeal of Stepper/Ricochet.

    Cyberverse Commanders will never replace scouts.

    Non-transforming figures can still be considered Transformers since they represent one mode of the character/s, e.g. Revoltech, DMK for robot modes and Speedstars for alt modes.

    Overall, the PRID line has been more satisfying than the FE line.

    There's nothing wrong with AEC repaints in Classics/Generations/etc.

    GoBots are charming, regardless of their quality compared to the TFs of the era.

    I prefer Impossible Toys' TRNS-01 Valkyrie (Arcee) over iGear's MGT-01.
