    So like just for fun, but who do you think has the best articulation in alt mode?

    Joint sharing between mode (like Optimus Minor) is fine.

    In alt mode? I'd have to say that is would fall into the beast war (animal or insect type), possibly a dragon? I'd have to compare between what I have to state one in particular as there many that I would consider fairly equal.

    Hmmm maybe even Sky Lynx?

    If we count 3P for me in my collection it’s Planet X FOC Grimlock.

    Does Counter-Punch count as an alt-mode?

    There is no way that Optimus Minor is not the winner if we’re only counting official TFs.

    The most articulated alt mode ever should really go to Perfect Effect’s Xerxes/Leonidas (the lion robot).

    If we’re limiting ourselves to official figures, then, uh, perhaps Transmetal 2 Megatron? It has a multi-segmented tail, multi-segmented neck, opening jaw, a wing with multiple joints, forearms on ball joints, and hind legs with multiple joints. I don’t have the Legacy version, so no comment.

    Ultra class rid01 gigatron/megatron becomes a hand, so that's got finger articulation going for it I think. Never handled the thing tho, so I can't give it the thumbs up for sure.

    Nah. While the robot modes are very articulated, most of that gets locked into position or hidden in shuttle and crawler mode.

    That's okay. He can give himself a really big thumbs up!
