Self-explanatory. TR Soundwave for me. A tough call between him and Blaster, but Soundwave just squeaks by because the base mode is a bit better, and I found myself more inclined to get his little buddies. Plus "Soundwave superior" and all that. But that's mine. What are yours?
I have two figures that I got this year that I've really enjoyed over others. Official: Masterpiece Optimus Primal 3rd party: Planet X Vulcan
So far? TR Skullcruncher, Scourge and Galvatron despite theit flaws. Also MP Lazerwave Fansproject MADLAW and Sigma L UW Computron, he maybe my actual figure of the year with the PE chest and feet.
I've scaled back considerably this year (kids) and moved just about everybody into storage. MP-28 Hot Rod is the last man standing; I love him to pieces and he brings me joy every day.
Personal preference- MP-29. THIS is the Shockwave I've waited my entire life as a Transformer fan for. No others can even come close. Overall, based on fun factor and playability, I think it's a tie between MP Primal and TR Triggerhappy. -Primal is an almost perfect reflection of the screen character, looks amazing with the fur-like paint, and truly feels like a Masterpiece. -Even as someone that dislikes the Headmaster gimmick, Triggerhappy is easily the best of the line. He's fun to transform, has awesome shelf presence, and is just a downright enjoyable figure. Runners-up would be Walgreens Brainstorm (beautiful paint apps) and Legends Wheelie (I don't like the character, but this is a FUN toy).
I am hoping for some in my Christmas haul, so this may change: CW Computron with CW G2 Menasor a close second. If combiners don't count, then Platinum One Shall Stand, One Shall Fall Megatron.
This dude. A late entry, but crushing all before him. Can't believe Deluxes have gotten this awesome.
I'm reaaaaally tempted to say like @motorthing and pick this guy. Deluxe as favorite ? That's how cool he is. BUT. I really can't forget how much fun I had (ans still have) with Wallgreens Brainstorm. I love him. Legends Max at the door was like a 1991 christmas morning, TR Wolfire is all kind of awesome, MP Primal is absolute masterpiece, so is Laserwave in my eyes and... yeah, in fact, I can't chose one. So I think I won't. That' being said, that Triggerhappy thought...
I always love when these kind of threads come along around this time every year. Like others, I too am waiting for a few things to come in my Xmas pol but here is how I think they will rank in My top 10: 10. Tr trigger happy 9. Tr fort max 8. Tr blaster 7. Mp Ironhide 6. Mp ratchet 5. Uw Bruticus 4. Uw computon 3. Mp optimus primal 2. Mp inferno 1. Mp shockwave
Really, I haven't bought all that much this year, Transformer-wise. I'd have to say maybe this guy: However, I've yet to grab MP Primal. I am really looking forward to him.
The TR line makes this a tough call! Even the RID Deceptions from this year have been amazing! I also got MP Ironhide, MP Hot Rod, and the KBB MP Starscream that I love. Overall though, based on pure fun factor, I'd probably have to go with TR Blaster. He is just an amazing figure that is always fun to pick up and mess around with. I haven't gotten any of Wave 3 yet, and my MP Soundwave hasn't shipped yet, so that could change before next year, but for now, Blaster is king!
I have a bunch of stuff I'm waiting to ship (namedropping MP Optimus Primal and TR Triggerhappy since they're mentioned often in this thread), but of the ones I have in hand my pics are probably one of the following: Official: Unite Warriors Computron (and the individual Technobots too) Titans Return Weirdwolf Titans Return Brainstorm 3rd Party: Fanstoys Stomp MMC Carnifex Planet X Vulcun
