Same here! I just wish that Takara/Hasbro would make one overall classic themed line featuring all the characters from G1.
I'm also a Conehead Seeker fan and would love to see an official Masterpiece release for those guys.

 

1) G1
2) BW
3) Animated

 

What?  

 

This. THIS!THIS!THIS!

 

My top five:

1) Beast Wars
2) RID
3) Unicron Trilogy
4) Classics
5) Masterpiece and Alternators


If not for nostalgia RID would have taken first.

It pretty much had everything (scale, combiners, mix of old and new molds).

The last one was a tie.

I am rather fond of the few Generation 1 and 2 figures in my collection.

 

I obviously want to say Masterpieces, but it's just been too sporadic and spread out to consider a proper 'line' yet. So the next obvious answer is Classics-verse, followed very closely by Animated.

 

Aahhh dang tablet!!  The only the I didnt like about the g1 toyline is that the toys were low tech back then.

 

Alternators/Binaltech are my favorite

 

Masterpieces; 8 new molds in 10 years, two characters repeated and two different scales.
Best line ever? That's barely a line.

Animated for me, and I say that as someone who has owned pretty much every Transformer mold ever made at some point.

G1 was a mess of different molds and scales and aesthetics from various companies. Awesome at the time, and nostalgic, but not the most cohesive.
G1.5 / G2 - some great molds and gimmicks, limited movement
Beast Wars was fun if you kep to the show characters, but some toys were odd and Fuzors a bit WTF!
Beast Machines were below pay.
Car Robots - Some great new molds, but only 9 of them and lots of re-usage from G1 and Beast Wars meant a weird aesthetic overall.
Binaltech - great, but expensive, repaint heavy and by it's very nature limited.
Robot Masters - awesome, ended too soon
Armada - Felt great, nice unified look and over-riding gimmick, bit blocky at times.
Energon - some awesome pieces, nice evolution from Armada.
Cybertron - some genuinely amazing, amazing pieces, let down by some of the Beast planet toys.
Classics - awesome, but not quite a real line up unless you count Universe, Henkei, United, RTS, Generations et al. One of the strongest mixed lines.
Movie toys - great if you like the Bay universe look, DOTM was a disappointment though
Prime - started well, some awesome toys (Wheeljack, Vehicon) but some real stinkers and choppy distribution make it a hard line to complete without imports. Most figures look very good together though.

Animated - well thought out, size class options for scale freaks, cartoon accurate, posable, fun, character, fairly expansive line up and some ingenious transformations. Just great toys. Even if you're not a fan of the aesthetic, you can't say they don't work well and look good together.

 

I've been thinking about this since last night. And I'm pretty sure Generation 1 was the best. I say that because it had the most originality and the best variety. So many cool gimmicks were introduced in the original line that I can totally forgive the limited articulation. I'll take a Headmaster over a Cyber Key any day.

 

Animated, RotF/HftD, and the new scale masterpieces are my favorites, with a heavy spackling of g1 figures

 

G1 will always be my favorite, but I'm old so that is to be expected.

 

I will always be a G1 kid, but over the last year, my focus has been:
1. Masterpieces
2. Classics

 

Well right now. Im focused on collecting 2007 film deluxe toys. Ive always wanted at least one toy from each toyline.

 

g1, had the most, and very diverse

 

Ever? If there were more toys available, it'd be Masterpiece hands down. However, I'd have to give it to Classics/Generations/etc... simply for the scope of the line, and the potential to keep expanding. If they kill that line, I'd probably give up on new retail things entirely unless they were Classiverse repaints crammed into another line.


Well, except for FOC stuff. Those I'd get no matter what.

 

I like animated, beast wars and classics.

 

G1 Series 1-4 and Classic 1-3.0....nothing else can touch them, although Masterpiece should likely be in there as well.

 

Classics, Animated and Masterpiece

 

This and the MP's. I do like the Titaniums too because they are like if the heavy blocky die cast 1984 figures had today's articulations.....and G1.
