    all figures in the 1ste wave are great, but if i had to pick only 1, it would be WFC prime, just one off the eest looking primes of all time

    I really think it is a tie between Drift and WFC Prime: Drift is articulated and posable like very few figures can be; Prime's wonderful and complex transformation, and looks great in both modes. It's too close for me to call.

    Thrust, hands down.
    Drift, meh the character means nothing to me, but I'll definitely get the Blurr repaint.
    WFC Optimus is a double edged sword for me. Bot mode is real nice, alt mode is craptastic.
    WFC Bee, don't like either mode, so a complete pass.

    you know for those of you who rated Bee that low... please buy him and try him first...

    he was my least interested figure to buy for generations wave 1. I brought him for completion. But I have come to see that his transformation was better designed and complex at the same time compared to Optimus prime.

    Yes, I know he doesn't look "bad-ass". But... I mean, Generations Bee reaffirmed that I shouldn't judge a transformer by their looks on package.

    drift. awesome suped up race car alt mode. decently designed & well proportioned robot mode. comes with cool huge weapons. decent colors that doesn't ruin the sculpt

    generations thrust is a repaint & shouldn't count as a new mold.

    the WFC prime & bumblebee are nothing special,look a bit generic based off there dozen plus alter ego toy updates & not overly decent designs in either mode.

    Keeping in mind that I have all these figures but Drift so far (though based on the apparent public opinion of the figure, I'll probably be picking one up this weekend), I was torn between the WFC 'Bots but went with Prime, mainly because I feel his transformation is a bit less fiddly than Bumblebee's and I find his robot mode a bit better proportioned. Though the Bee was a very close second, because his robot mode's still nice and very poseable (although the wrists are a bit awkwardly positioned for posing), and I love his vehicle mode.

    Hands down, Drift.

    I only have Drift and Thrust, but the prior is the better mold period. I do enjoy the seeker mold, but its starting to look very out of date next to some of the most recent Universe/Generations deluxes.

    Wow, no love for BB at all. He's my second favorite!

    (But my first favorite is Drift of course. :p  )

    I don't think it matters how awesome a Bumblebee figure is, most people are just sick of him.

    That's kind of too bad. BB's not my favorite character either, but his Battle Blade and Cybertronian Deluxes are both truly excellent, if frustrating to transform.

    I guess a lot of people have Classics BB (I don't) and are sticking with him, but I actually think this new BB is superb for that purpose. He even looks more like a Beetle, and he has "stingers" like in Animated!

    I'm holding out for the Cliffjumper retool and repaint of WFC Bumblebee.
