Motormaster. That comes with Menasor fan bias.

 

Silverbolt...with Hot Spot coming in second. Hot Spot only from what I've seen as I don't have him in hand though.

Silverbolt is just solid as hell. The end result looks great, even with the spindly thighs. It's got nice proportions and a defined humanoid body right out of the box that I adore. I just don't like that you have to mistransform and do all kinds of weird stuff to Menasor just to make him passable. Bleach.

But Silverbolt's got it man. He's pretty goddamn fantastic.

Hot Spot would be second. I understand that the ladder wraps around to allow the head to form but it just feels really weird to me.

 

i just bought hot spot from HTS today.. so i don't have him in hand, but i'm guessing that he's going to be my favorite.

by far he has the best looking robot, alt, and torso modes. individually each mode beats the other two. i mean, his fire truck mode looks great. silverbolt has a robot lazily folded up under his jet mode. motormasters alt mode isn't too bad, but its rather bland. i'm not a big fan of the color they painted the windows.

hot spots robot mode is fantastic looking.. sure you have the ladder on his back, but something like that is acceptable. silverbolt on the other hand is a bit weird looking. his forearms are too big, i hate the hinge where his hands connect, and i REALLY hate his gun.

motormaster is an okay robot.. his legs look way too much like primes though. he's not terrible.. he's just not all that great either. i miss the cab being his feet. (i know that's not really feasible for a figure like this, so i don't count it against him)

torso modes are a little closer. hot spot looks great, he seems to have a really interesting transformation into torso mode, and he looks very accurate. plus, you can put groove on his chest (i'm not a fan of that, but it gives you the option) and if you don't have groove on his chest he still looks great.

silverbolt is definitely second best, he's very close to being number one. i like how his chest forms, there isn't really any kibble protruding anywhere and proportionally he looks great.

motormaster is definitely last. his chest is horrid. i really don't like blackjack sitting there, and if you don't have him there, he just looks incomplete.

anyways.. that's just a long way of saying that i really think, once in hand, hot spot is going to be the best. silverbolt isn't too far behind because of how much i like his torso, and motormaster ranks last.

i still think superion looks the best, especially with quickslinger. he's got the best proportions. the jets and the helicopter mold just seem to make much better limbs. the cars, especially in leg mode, are awful and really should've been worked on a little more. i mean, they're too wide, which isn't terrible, but add that to the position of the front ends in combined mode and it really drags it down.

i really wish the front ends of the cars all transformed the same way offroads does.. now that would've been awesome. sure, it would've made them all more similar, but at least they'd be similar in a good way. yeah, the more i think of it, they'd look so much better if the front ends transformed that way. i really hate the front ends all flopped over at the knees. i know you can angle them up a little, but it's still not as good.

 

motormaster would be it if his arms pegged better for combiner mode

 

I'm not voting since I don't have many of them, but I'm very fond of Hot Spot and Optimus. I like this Optimus mold a lot more than others seem to, even without taking into account his combination gimmick, and Hot Spot is probably my favorite visually of each of them - amazing bot mode, good alt mode, and by all accounts his combined form is great. I'm a little biased towards the Protectobots, but I like him a lot as a toy.

 

Cyclonus because it uses the best mold and also has the use any limb you want gimmick from the bio.

 

ultra prime lots of play value, superion always look the same

 

Until I get paid next week and can either order or find Hotspot somewhere I am gonna go with Silverbolt as my fave torso bot.Also when it comes to the others like Optimus,Motor Master,& Cyclonus I wouldn't say they are bad figures but until I actually get them I will wait to pass judgement on them.Later all.

 

definitely silverbolt because I don't like op, mm or galvatronumouseounton. hot spot would be a close 2nd.
