    the only one I have is the chromed out DOTM Deluxe Optimus from that target two-pack with G1 chromed FOC Grimlock.

    he's..... not my favorite.

    Currently 3: WFC Optimus, HFTD Takara Optimus and TW-02 Orion. Out of them, Orion is my favourite.

    Oh geez, I've got way too many Optimuses (Optimi?). I've bought one for every cartoon, as well as the Japanese BW Convoys, a few movie ones, and a few other odd ones like Choro-Q, etc.

    As far as a favorite, though...hmm...that would probably be the first one I'd grab in the event of a fire or something that would destroy our house so fast that I'd only have time to grab one...which would be either my original Powermaster Optimus figure or my God Ginrai reissue. Probably God Ginrai, since my PM OP is broken in a couple places (I'm sentimental, but not THAT much :rolleyes: ).

    I'm just going to say "most of them" rather than make a list of the ones I have. My favorite changes from time to time, but it's usually the Robotmasters G1 Optimus figure. I'm not saying that's the 'best' one, just the one that I tend to handle the most.

    I don't know how many I have, but MP-10 aside, I'm of two minds on the subject of favorite Optimus.

    1) Classics Voyager Optimus has great play value. I love the robot mode and I love the truck mode. Hasbro has yet to top this one. It is exactly what I want out of a modern-day Transformer.
    2) G1 Optimus has a very special place in my heart. It's the Commemorative reissue, not my original from 1984, but it may as well be. I look at this toy and I see the magic of G1, I see my childhood in 1984, I remember my family, my friends, my life at that age. All of it. I can't put a value on that.

    Let's see...

    G1 (2009 reissue)
    G2 Laser
    MP-01
    Classics
    AOE Deluxe Silver Knight
    Combiner Wars

    ...so 6.

    My favorite's either Classics or CW. Laser OP is pretty cool too.

    List does not include the Universe Leo Primes, Nemesis Primes, etc. This list still feels incomplete but I can't think of another Prime I own. Of these other than the TRU MP-10 I would say it is very close between Jetwing Prime, Animated Voyager Prime, and Cybertron Leader Prime as my favorite. I'm kind of surprised I didn't break 100 and I'm still up there in this thread.

    Very few primes. Of the few that I have, ROTF leader I consider to be the best figure.

    I have

    Henkei Optimus
    Energon Optimus
    Beast Hunters Optimus
    AoE Evasion Optimus
    DOTM Deluxe Optimus
    ROTF Voyager Optimus

    and not Optimus per say but the same molds
    TFCC Scourge
    FOC Ultra Magnus

    honestly I'd have to say my favorite mold I own is TFCC Scourge had it been a Voyager size it would probably be regarded as the best CHUG Optimus mold.

    I can't believe it's been 16 pages till someone mentioned TW Orion (and only about 3-4 people since), he's absolutely the best Classics Prime there is, and the center of my collection, along with Hegemon.

    Besides him I have G1 and the KO oversized version of the robotmasters prime (used him as a fill-in until TW got Orion out). I also have a small movie prime, think it's from DOTM.

    I have three only: Henkei Convoy, Buster Prime & YOTH Mp-10.

    Since mine is limited, I just love all three of 'em equally.
