What are your favorite transforming toys of all time that are not "Transformers?"

DeathAnghell · 01-01-2012, 11:06 AM

My old Power Rangers Zeo Megazord was pretty cool. I also have a giant transforming Wing Gundam figure and a Venom (From Spiderman) toy that transforms into a three headed dragon/dinosaur.

I always wanted a Voltron figure but never got one.

Go-bots, of course. Mostly for the diverse plane alt modes chosen that TFs still just don't touch.

My Road Ready Don agrees.

No really, this guy seemed so ahead of its time, and not only because he put most of my G1/G2 stuff to shame either. Dude could transform into a turtle that was driving himself!

Macross, Gobots & Brave.

I did not foresee this, *facepalm*

Everyone is mentioning lines and not figures.

Alright, of the lines you mentioned as being "tops", which figures from said lines are considered to be the best above the rest?

Probably my favorite non-TF transforming robot has to by Garyuun from the Webdiver series. It's a big pirate ship that transforms into a dragon pirate. The sail becomes a stylish cape. The mast becomes a scimitar. The boat hull becomes a shield (bit of cheat actually.)

The figure is big, ornate, and just very cool looking. It has good articulation, it's solid, and it lights up.

Not to mention that all Webdiver toys interacted in some way with the main figure and gave it new weapons in its video game.

Believe me, if Hasbro could resurrect this or re-configure it to work in the TF line, maybe something along the lines of the Skylanders game, it would be a huge hit. I still think that WebDiver was way ahead of its time concept-wise.
