    Since there's a "least favorite designs" thread, I decided it'd be nice to have a counterpoint where people could praise the designs they like. Toys, cartoons, comics - all of them are fair game.

    Personally, some of my favorites are Movieverse Bonecrusher, Bisk, Springload, Quillfire, and every goddamn design from Transformers Animated.

    I love Whirl's IDW design.
    One toy that I loved once I got it was Beast Wars' Quickstrike. It's fun to play with.
    I always thought the Seekers from G1 had a really cool, distinctive design.

    Toy wise, Generations Springer is my favorite design out of my collection.

    Aesthetically, I really like MTMTE Rodimus's design. I also like Windblade's design (though I am notably not a fan of her Generations toy). Nautica and Transmetal Airazor are pretty cool looking as well.

    I've always liked Ultra Magnus G1. I thought it was cool how he was Optimus in a big freekin exosuit thingy. And yet in the cartoons where the same size lol.
