TFW's Top Transformers of 2011

Wow. Prime Starscream sounds like a popular figure. I hope the voyager is just as good or better.


This was a hard list to put together by the way. I love top 5 lists, but I've never done one with Transformers. Haha

Listen to me week nights on KTEG 7pm-11pm MST HERE.

Best:

Generations Warpath

While I really dig some of the DOTM toys and Generations Wheeljack, Warpath reigns supreme.

Honorable Mentions: Generations Wheeljack, DOTM Shockwave, DOTM Megatron, RTS G2 Optimus Prime, and DOTM Starscream and Thundercracker.

I have to say - i'm shocked that no one has mentioned MP-10 yet! It's a phenomenal figure and one of my favorite Masterpieces yet!

If I had MP-10, he would have been my number 1. From what I've seen of him, he looks amazing.

winner for me is DOTM Bumblebee DLX and DOTM Starscream DLX

Just to be controversial:

RTS Tracks

Runners-up: DOTM Hatchet, RTS Lugnut, PCC Salvage, Generations Scourge.

(At least one of these is probably 2010, I don't really keep a good check...)

Surprised to see toys like MP-10 and Prime Voyager Prime almost completely ignored...

agreed. I really want to go back and pick my favorite toys of each year i've been collecting now (11+ years)

not controversial at all, i love that toy... i have 3 or 4 RTS Tracks so far, and will probably buy more someday...

Lots of great choices guys.

For me, the best figure of 2011 has to be MP-10 Convoy. This toy had such a weird build up and progression for me. It was a roller coaster ride to say the least.

It started off as a complete mystery, it was months after Rodimus was released that we finally started to get hints of what it would be. I'm pretty sure most people were assuming Galvatron (myself included). When the news did hit it came as such a shock. Takara had been pimping last shot Convoy for months saying it would never be released again and then here after its release we get news that the next release will in fact be Convoy again, but a new version.

I was really turned off by it at this point and had no desire to get it. Once the price was revealed it made me go WTF even more. Throw in the fact that MP-09 was a pretty crap figure design and QC wise I had no faith.

It kind of just silently got released and people slowly started to buy it. Once I saw all of these videos of it I knew I had to have it. I wasn't thrilled about dropping the cash but I had some BBTS store credit lying around and figured that I might as well.

When I got this in hand I was floored. The design, aesthetics, engineering, it was all so superb. I quickly forgot all about MP-01 and fell in love with the new version. It makes you forget that it cost $250.

Wait until next year when people have had more of a chance to get the latter, and the inevitable US release of the former. They'll be up there once they get into our hands. Voyager Prime was mainly there for me because I'd spent a couple of days solidly working on his gallery. Worth it though, I love that toy.
