    I know it's probably been said to death but I'm going to say Fans Toys Dinobots or their Roadking. The dinos are just a joy to transform and are amazing in both modes. Roadking turns into a truck WITH a trailer attached from a great bot mode (that does mass shifting). That's just witchcraft right there

    Probably any of the DX9/UT Movie Masterpiece toys.

    I don’t own any of them but they look super impressive.

    Of the ones I own....

    ...let‘s say today it is FTs Maverick

    DX9 Gabriel. The size alone puts this figure in the all-time favorites tier of my collection. Also helps that Omega Supreme just has a really awesome character design. I suspect that once we start to be able to finish these MP scale combiners, a good chunk of those are going to be topping my list of "most impressive" figures in my collection.

    I'd also put FansToys Spoiler, Quietus, Roadking, Goose, and Sovereign down, although I think Sovereign is starting to show its age a bit. That being said, the finish and face sculpt go a long way in ensuring that the figure is still impressive and gorgeous to look at. Besides Sovereign, the others on this list have some of the strongest shelf presence of my figures. The paint and sculpt on each one is stunning. I find it easy to just stare at these figures for extended periods of time and drink up all the detail.

    Oh, and (if official stuff is allowed) I'd put TT MP Grapple on the list as well. If you like the toon look, Grapple/Inferno are the pinnacle of that design ethos, in my opinion.

    FT Dinobots
    Toyworld Constructor

    And I think doesn't get enough love:
    PLanet X Vulcun (Their Grimlock)

    I think that transformation is awesome. Both bot and dino are awesome, and it's one of the most dynamic Dinobots I've seen. That tail forming is just genius. All that and he looks cool to boot.

    Carnifex. The bot just radiates menace on a shelf. Possibly the best head sculpt on a Transformer. The PE and JX dragons. Siege Unicron, of course. FT Roadking. MMC Aero Alpha and Asterisk, beautiful bots with weird but awesome alt modes. RotF Lockdown.

    For Legends: THS-01 Galaxy Convoy and IF DJD combiner.

    Nontransforming: Flame Toys Tarn and Star Saber. 3a TLK Megatron and Optimus. Yolopark Prime.

    It's not 3P, but TF Energon Mirage is pretty darn cool looking

    He's probably not the best Transformer by now, but MMC's Hearts of Steel Shockwave remains the coolest: burly body, Gatling gun arm, kusarigama-style anchor, the sheer presence of his ironsides alt.

    Not a great pic, but here it is next to G1 Fortress Maximus.

    You really need to see it (and pick it up) in person. Just one of its smokestacks weighs more than the original Prime toy.

    Thank you

    If you're going Legends, upgraded Hastak is highly underrated. A few honorable mentions:

    But at the end of the day, I haven't seen anything come close to Feral Rex. This set just oozes personality. Between the detail, poseability, character, sturdyness - MMC is just on another level...
