    I will have a hard time choosing. I have been so impressed by the Henkei TFs that I actually back tracked. If you have Optimus and Megs then I would suggest any of the following 5:

    i) Sideswipe/Red Alert
    ii) Sunstreaker
    iii) Hound
    iv) Ratchet
    v) Prowl/Bluestreak/Smokescreen mold
    iv) Ratchet

    I must admit that Henkei Astrotrain is pretty nice also! LOL!

    If you don't really have a must have to buy, then I would save your money till you find one that you just can't live without. Better than buying tf's recomended by other people that you might not like.

    I can't recommend Hound strongly enough.

    No matter which line you get him from he is an awesome figure - great sculpt, transformation and articulation - BUT the Henkei version is head and shoulders above the universe one in terms of looks. The Henkei paint job is just that much better - it's spot on to his g1 coloring and the chrome wheels make a tremendous difference.

    I would suggest checking out http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/transformers-toy-discussion/191530-henkei-vs-universe-pictorial-comparisons-warning-lots-pictures.html

    I have a lot of the Henkei ones and the three that I'm most impressed with are Hot Rod, Red Alert and Astrotrain.

    Ok, well actually Thrust, Dirge and Megatron, but all of those would put you over budget.
