Masterpiece Soundwave. I just love all the accessories and cassettes.

 

Power master Optimus Prime. This is, IMHO, hands-down the best Optimus Prime toy ever made. It's fun to transform, fun to go "pew-pew" with, and fun to drive around smashing Decepticons in the face.

RID God Fire Convoy - The transformation isn't quite as fun as PM Optimus, but it's an impressive toy. It's the centerpiece of my pre-Classics collection.

 

Headmaster Snapdragon or Hardhead, are my favorite toys since i was a kid.

 

I know its a new mold and all but i already have a few versions of the mold already.The AOE Grimlock mold i enjoy a lot i feel it is my favorite mold to date with the Generation 1 repaint being my favorite toy. Just the fun of transforming it i like both modes so much. The tyrannasaurus mode looks intimidating and strong and the transformation never gets old . The robot mode looks mighty and beefy with a wonderful head mold. I can say it is the best mold in my entire collection. Yes it is a movie toy but to me it stands in as a modern Grimlock. Grimlock is my favorite transformer and pop culture icon. This mold does his so much justice and i think it is better than the FOC and Classics mold.  

 

I think for me, I always go back to Armada Optimus Prime and his mechanized trailer. I just love that toy and also kept Overload and Jetfire for Prime to combine with.

 

TF2007 Nightwatch Optimus Prime. He was my first transformer, so I always end up going back to that toy.

 

I have a couple that I keep going back to, but my favorite is also my first. My prerub G1 Skywarp is always a blast to get out and set up.

 

Armada Thundercracker, my first TF and he's still in great condition!

 

'07 Movie Deluxe Barricade. I absolutely love the vehicle mode, he's fun to transform IMO, and his robot mode is fairly decent.  

 

i like the generations g2 laser prime since the robot mode is articulated and the truck modes dope along with weapon storage and the transformation is fun too

 

My favorite TF long term? It's gotta be G1 for me! G1 Soundwave or Shockwave were always my favorites. They had great playability which I think many enjoyed. Soundwave with his team of micro cassette minions (which were awesome) introduced a combiner type play. Shockwave was huge and turns into a futuristic laser gun with lights and sounds. So much fun. Anyone else have love for these two bad guys? Decepticons rule and destroy the Autobots!

 

First Edition arcee. Not because of the mold itself but the importance of it, It was given to me the first time my older brother finally saw me as his sibling and not a pest.

 

It's hard for me to narrow it down to just one, but I think I can do a top two.

Classics Optimus is still a fantastic toy. It shows it's age and the forearm kibble is distracting but otherwise it's a rock solid toy, has plenty of functioning articulation and personifies Classics as a modernized Generation 1. It's a toy I have no problem owning several versions of (I have seven versions including bootlegs).

A close second would be RiD Prowl. All three of the RiD Car Brothers are incredible, they hold up to today's standards and even surpass most toys released in the last few years in my opinion. I single out Prowl because I absolutely love both the robot and vehicle modes, the transformation is very satisfying and intuative without being over engineered or complicated and it's the single toy that got me back into collecting Transformers.

 

Its been quite a while since I've had a chance to return to my old toys even though their usually right behind me in my office cascadeing off the shelves exuberantly proud of their legacy.

I really like Universe Powerglide. The big Ultra Sized powerglide. I have a lot of that toy now floating in different groups and recolors.

For a jetThe transformation rides the perfect line for me between complexity and intuitive design. You know exactly what steps to do to change him and its not fiddly to click together, and it just feels like you accomplished a lot in that waist twist and extra arm mount.

The Headsculpt especially is very detailed with various ornamental crests as well as vents, and what looks like a communications headset.

Also Its in the heart of an era where every big TF made the Transformation noise as it converted. We might be leaving that stuff behind in generations going forward.

The Jet is a sleek toyetic take on a A-10 warthog that back when walmart had tons of them for $10 I convinced my friend a Aircraft enthusiast to pick one up and give it a go even if only to have a cool model.

Its not perfect. The ankles can sometimes be a little unforgiving and loose and the leg ratchets can sometimes be very tight. The missile that plugs into the GAU-8/A Avenger 30mm nose cannon does seem a bit forced. It can make a convinceing classic TF laser blaster. But it does not mount properly under the nose.

Despite all that. Powerglide consistantly delivers an experience to me of adventure and discovery like some of my older bots did.

And Away We Go!

 

Classics Voyager Jetfire. It's a really sturdy mold with a nice range of playability between all the different configurations of his armor, helmet, and weapons. I'm really looking forward to the upcoming Leader class version.

 

For me it's the Classics Seeker mold. It's what brought me back to Transformers back in 2006, with its terrific F-15 alt mode and an increase in articulation to a really beautiful bot mode. I know figures have gotten better for the most part since then, but if Hasbro released another ten repaints of this mold, I'd buy every last one of them.

 

I dont think any one figure has evoked the emotion in the inner kid in me like MP01. When I circled the corner and saw those boxes sitting there, they may as well have been glowing. To me, it's an incredible toy. It is still THE Optimus in my MP collection.

 

I buy transformers which i like, but most of all i like Crystal Classics Optimus Prime (Good Knock-Off), Cybertron Primus toy and Generations Voyager Springer (Most accurate Generations Figure ever). I think, everyone should buy toys which you like, not just buy.
But its just my opinion.

 

Classics Voyager Optimus is one of my favorite figures. It is a figure that i can take off the shelf and enjoy posing and transforming any time and its been that way for me since i got the figure. I could not sit here and give any specific reason why i can always go back and enjoy this toy every time i pick it up but its in part that its just a fun to transform figure and a good looking one. G1 Devastator is the same way for me. I can always enjoy taking him off the shelf and separating the individuals figures convert them back and forth and put Devy back together. These 2 are some of the most enduring toys in my collection. Just plain fun.

 

I could have written this. I SHOULD have written this.
