    You aren't alone, I've been waiting.. and waiting.. and waiting.. for that Earthrise mold since they started with classics. Oh yes, that original Generations version was terrible in every aspect. They aren't trucks that are smaller than EVERY car in the line. This one brings back the proper arm panels, still with good articulation. The accessories are still a little weak, but far more fitting. They are the toys of Trailbreaker and Hoist finally done as true to the characters as we're probably going to see in our lifetimes, by Hasbro.

    Exactly my feelings too. I still really like the Classic seeker mold, just always wished it were bigger. Now it is! I'm good on seekers.

    Yes this, These 2 are my favorite Autobots of Earthrise. They actually look like the characters where the older Generations figures were just mediocre at best. They weren't even really fun toys.

    Anyone that misspells "Scorponok" needs to have their Transformers Geek license revoked.

    It's so common anymore it's actually pretty funny. lol

    Honestly for me, this year had so many good figures I can't choose one. I am in the crowd of just giving it to the WFC Trilogy as a whole. I don't think I bought one figure I didn't like this year.

    Nice list from you all. More super megatrons than I expected. Black convoy wasnt expected.
    I know for 2021 there will be zero Haslab Unicron's on the favorite lists.

    And within a year, which is quite impressive when you consider how long it took us for the Classics 06 mold (Botcon ones excluded, anyway).

    Earthrise Scorponok is so enticing to get. The bot mode colors and detail are cool. But I holding out in hopes that a 3rd party will make him with a cooler base mode.

    Toy of the year for me.
    Nothing else has given me childlike glee and anticipation like the mighty SS Devastator!
    The feeling of my childhood dream of owning a toy of this behemoth, it's finally happened and it feels great.

    My top 5 picks for the year: 
    Earthrise Grapple
    Studio Series Bumblebee movie Blitzwing (MOST SURPRISED)
    Netflix WFC Earyhrise bumblebee (MOST ANTICIPATED)
    Earthrise Bluestreak
    Netflix WFC Seige Megatron

    Of these figures if I HAD to pick just one....id say it would be Bumblebee...I did not get cliffjumper and put my hopes in getting a Bumblebee from the mold. I will admit this mold isn\'t perfect but parts-forming, odd accessories and less than stellar paint (IMO) aside this figure is the best G1 Bumblebee we\'ve had since...ever. true other bees such as generations legends size bee, and titans return(?) Bee were good they just missed the mark. The size is great in keeping with bees stature and the overall transformation is very welcomed. 
    **Honorable mentions**:
    commander skylynx
    Earthrise snapdragon 
    Earthrise airwaves

    Giving my nod to Studio Series Devastator as a whole. It\'s the culmination of over 10 years of anticipation and it absolutely delivered in spades. No, it isn\'t perfect, but it\'s impressive nonetheless that it turned out as well as it did. Sure, some of the individual figures aren\'t quite as good as their original counterparts (I think Mixmaster especially suffered in translation, but I also am a huge fan of the original voyager), but that they all turned out as well as they did regardless, with some even being fantastic figures (such as Scrapper) is to be applauded.

    I got quite a few great figures this past year but I'd have to say Scorponok was my favorite purchase.
