    I'd have to say MP-10 out of my Optimi :p  But my actual favorite character is really Ratchet. Unfortunately we haven't gotten a lot of good Ratchet molds IMO.

    Don't be offended Boss-Bot I love Optimus Primal too, I just haven't' gotten around to building up a collection for you yet. It's coming..It's coming. :)

    I wouldn't be surprised if Optimus prime's had more toys in some lines than Primal's had total.

    That, I doubt very much.

    There are many, many Optimus Prime figures, and there are indeed quite a few lines that have a surprising amount of OP figures in them. But Primal also has quite a few figures, with many receiving repaints. Just the base mould, the ultra class gorilla, has had at least 8 different deco's/releases (regular, clear, clear red, grey, universe, 10th, telemoch DX, Legends), and that's ignoring the three Lucky Draws. And there have been quite a few moulds for Primal, with many repainted several times.

    So there has to be at least 20+ Optimus Prime figures in a single line to achieve this. Even Masterpiece with three version of the character and many repaints doesn't get there.

    Since I was also dusting them off (Most of them hadn't been touched in about a year.) it took me about two hours to clean each one and then set them up on the island.

    Spent a couple hours with these guys today. My favorite character, but I’ve only been inspired to grab the G1 and Masterpiece versions (plus a 3P legends figure). Unfortunately the recent TR/PotP versions didn’t really grab me, but hoping that Earthrise or the new 86 Studio Series makes one worth grabbing.

    Are Rack'N'Ruin eligible for the "Single Character" thread? I made a Kreon and brick version awhile ago, and got the retail release recently.

    Same thing with Hotlink. The brick one is movie-inspired.

    Until recently, the only non-kiddie Movie Megatron I had was the TRU exclusive redeco of a non-movie figure. Thanks to SS and Ollie's, that's exapnded to this:
    MovieMegs.JPG
    The cloaked Voyager is the result of trading a TLK Hot Rod from Ollie's with another collector last year.

    With Coronavirus cases surging here in the US, there's talk that we may need more Lockdowns. I don't know how this'll help, but here they are.

    The brick one has a facemask...

    ...and a facegun. The gun is hard to see due to the black on black, but at least the hook is clearly visible.
