Nitro Series Blitzwing, Dropkick (helicopter), Barricade - Got these Voyager-sized kiddie from TJ Mazz for $5 each. The pull back motor gimmick doesn't work so well, so I've put those aside. But, they're nice figures anyway. No useful leg articulation, but the arm articulation is almost as good as collector grade figures. Barricade has a ball jointed head. Blitzwing has no neck articulation due to a face (well, head) swapping gimmick. The only letdown in this regard is Dropkick, whose head is holded on the same piece as his torso. Barricade is the highlight of the 3. I pick him up more than either my first movie or TLK Deluxe Barricades. The way his center hood splits open to reveal the shoulder cannons and make room for the head solves both problems more elegantly than any Datsun mold I've seen. His 5-mm hands with rotating risks meant I could build him a spinning wheel weapon out of LEGO.
I'd have to say all Fossilizers, thought they were daft and pointless when first revealed. But after i got my 1st one I had so much fun with it I've had to get the rest, even bought the Netflix Megatron just to get the Purple Paleotrex.
RID 2015 Warrior Bumblebee and Steeljaw pack I wasn't paying attention much to the RID line but then this set got deeply discounted (20 dollars for two warriors, a bunch of weapons and the stasis pod? Count me in!). I found Bee to be really fun to play around with and transform, and while Steeljaw is more flawed I still really like his transformation. To this day I often pick up those two when I feel the need to fiddle with TFs.
I thought Titans Return looked like a promising toyline, but the Titanmasters seemed dull at first. This little guy changed my mind Shuffler is one of my favourite Transformers ever now. He opened my eyes and encouraged me to get Sawback (Lione), Apeface, and a Clobber (Grimlock) I customized into Snapdragon.
Still hate that I missed him. Maybe he'll get a rerelease... I recently started to look into the RID line and if I were to get one mold from it, it'd definitely would be that Scorponok mold. Specifically the blue version. What is the point of fossilizers exactly?
Cyberverse Wheeljack. My mom gave him to my son and he is so much fun. A shoulder blaster that stores hidden in vehicle mode and can be held. Great sculpt and balance and quality build. And on a related note, my kid asked for an Ultra Magnus for his birthday. I already had his presents and sent my parents the link to EE for the Netflix UM. I helped him transform it and then went and got one for me.
