Hey guys, Recently I've been building my own team of Decepticons, which is something I've never really done because I usually only stick with Autobots, but anyway- I'm curious to know what the largest, well articulated Decepticons are. I'll accept anything from any line (3rd party, mainstream- doesn't matter to me), as long as it's Voyager or above, and has decent articulation. I don't want a block/brick that just sits there and can't make any poses. My current Decepticon team: 1) Combiner Wars Devastator 2) Combiner Wars Cyclonus 3) Reveal the Shield Lugnut 4) Generations Blitzwing 5) MMC Cynicus (Mainly as a gun for CW Devastator- which works BTW ^_^) 6) Shattered Glass Junkions (I put Decepticon stickers over their Autobot symbols ^_^) That's pretty much my Decepticons right now, I really don't have that many, and if i'm going to add to it I'd like for them to be big. Suggestions? I was thinking about looking into Armada Tidal Wave, but I noticed there are different manufacturer versions- for example, there's the original Takara version (which looks absolutely gorgeous), and then there's a SONOKONG version that's only 70 bucks. (Looks at it..) Is this SONOKONG version legit? Does anybody know anything about it? I'm ok with buying KO's, but I just don't want it to be a super-crappy KO and get screwed over, ya know? In anyone knows anything about the SONOKONG version, I'd appreciate your info- thanks. ^_^

Warbotron's WB01. Huge-ass Bruticus with articulation packed into every mode imaginable. MMC Feral Rex. The ultimate Predaking, Feral Rex looks great in any configuration.
Maketoys Dystopia. He isn't your cup of tea if you hate neon, but he's a gigantic Metrotitan with strong ratchet joints the size of tuna cans. (And he's very well-articlated, to boot.)
The SONOKONG version you speak of is what Tidal Wave was sold as in South Korea. He's more or less identical to the original Tidal Wave including QC and joint quality.
I think Tidal Wave is fantastic, especially the purple deco. But if you're looking for articulation - he can't turn his head and doesn't have forward backward knee joints.
Leader ROTF Starscream, Sentinel Prime, oversized KO DOTM Megatron, Movie/Classics Voyager Bludgeon, DOTM Shockwave/Beast Hunters Shockwave, Leader Brawl. The ROTF/DOTM movie lines generally are balls-out overflowing with articulation. The CW Leader Seekers are pretty posable too.
Armada Tidal Wave is great, but if you don't have an Armada Megatron to go with him, you're missing out on a lot
Universe 2 Onslaught rotf Lockdown (yes he's a deluxe, but his transformation makes him super tall) dotm Megatron universe 2 Dropshot Mastermind creations Hexatron Maketoys Chaos/Paladin rotf Bludgeon arms Micron Breakdown Beast Hunters voyager predaking. either version. the first is better articulated, the second is larger and more imposing.
