As much I LOVE the Siege line I'm going to be mentioning some past favs 10. Thrilling 30's Springer. That figure proved that if Hasbro is serious and not wanting to cut corners they can out design any 3rd party toy. Dead spot Alex Milne or Nick Rosche's design. 09. Siege Springer - this is toy we wanted as kids he first debuted in the 86 movie. 08. Siege Ironhide - best looking toy based off this character outside of the Masterpiece line. 07. Thrilling 30's ARCEE - LOL, I wonder if they made that specifically for Don from RFC 06. TAKARA Legends Blurr. Despite being a headmaster when he was NOT one, this is about as G1 as you can get. The paint is spot on. I'm giving that figure props - and don't even HAVE that version of the mold 05. Universe/Battle in Space 2-pack Cyclonus. OOOOOOOOHH had he only been a Voyager 04. Generations Drift. Another near perfect comic to toy translation 03. Reveal the Shield Special Ops JAZZ - 'NUFF SAID 02. Siege Megatron. He LOOKS like G1 Megatron - but has a NEW alt mode - while still looking like G1 Megatron. LOVE IT 01. Siege Optimus - AND Classics Optimus. Siege Optimus's robot mode, outside of the MP-44, that's all I can say is great. Now why I mention the 2006 Classics mold? Because he looks like Optimus if the transformers came 2006 instead of 1984. And that toy is built like a brick.
Man, this is a good question. I'm gonna have to cheat a little bit. Here we go: 10: FOC Shockwave 9: T30 Cosmos 8: TR Kickback 7: FOC Starscream 6: T30 Armada Starscream 5: POTP Punch/CounterPunch 4: Siege Hound 3: T30 Arcee 2: Classics Mirage And for number 1, it would be a tie between: 1: T30 Metroplex and TR Fortress Maximus Because I think they are both amazing.
10. 35th Bluestreak - pretty great, I have a crotch poping off problem but I overlook it as he is my Favorite character. 9. Siege Soundwave + TR Rumble + Siege Ravage & Laserbeak - Not as fun as I wanted them to be but I still love them together. 8. Siege Impactor - got him a few week backs, one of the best figures around. (also convinced me to pick up the UK collection and I am LOVING Target 2006, one of the best TF stories ever) 7. DUOCONS! - really good figures, just that, I gave them there own shelf 6. POTP Windcharger, I just have nostalgia for the car he is based off and it has given me a newfound love for Windcharger. 5. Thrilling 30s Legends Starscream & Waspinator - Absolutely Love that guy, rebought him for $10 this year, Waspinator is always a treat. 4. Siege Shockwave - got him for $24 last week and I feel like I stole him, he is GLORIOUS with all those sexy ratches and I actually like the Warship mode OVER his gun mode. 3. Siege Megatron - Miner from Tarn, leader of the Decepticons, I love how this toy just feels like megs to me 2. Siege Carbots - All Wonderful in their own way. 1. Siege Optimus Prime and T30 Legends Optimus Prime - Loving Optimus and the T30 I found and my attic and got back to TF.

This is really hard to pick. Here goes, in no particular order... 10) Deluxe Cyclonus, he was packed with hot rod. (lost in space?) 9) titans return Top Spin/Twin Twist. 8) combiner wars Superion 7) takara unite warriors Computron 6) takara legends Blurr 5) generations Warpath 4) takara united Jazz 3) titans return/generations Cosmos 2) thrilling 30 Jetfire. Most will think I'm crazy for choosing this over seige Jetfire. I've never handled the siege one yet. And I just really dig the Skyfire/Macross hybrid look of the Voyager one. I had to remove the red chrome. It was so ugly to me. 1) Siege Omega Supreme. Although I have to admit, I haven't played with it yet. I have it still in the box, waiting for the right time to open it. I've seen various video reviews, though. My choices were decided based upon how fun the transformation is, how they look in all modes, and being characters that I really like.
TR Quake TR Triggerhappy CW Cyclonus UW Computron with both PE sets Siege Skyfire TR Sixshot TR Brainstorm Generations Thrust CW Powerglide Botcon Paradron Medic
Wow, that’s a lot of Prime Wars Trilogy there. I thought your list would be dominated by Siege figures . . .
Not in order: SIEGE Ultra Magnus Classics Jetfire SIEGE Jetfire LG/CW Megatron Henkei Megatron SIEGE Starscream TR Sixshot WFC game Bumblebee WFC game Optimus Prime Universe/Classics 2.0 Silverbolt
Man this was a tough one but in no particular order... Titans Return Astrotrain Siege Ironhide/Ratchet Generations Skids/Crosscut/Rollbar Titans Return Topspin/Twin Twist Siege Omega Supreme Siege Jetfire Generations Sky-Byte Titans Return Octone Generations Tracks Siege Soundwave/Soundblaster
I'm so bad at this kinda game, I could only pick my 20 favorites who aren't from Siege (would be a top 30 at the very least with them). And even then that was too hard. Anyway, in no particular order, except for Quake at th top. UW Devastator (and kit), UW Superion (and kit), POTP Abominus, T30 Brainstrom, T30 Swerve, POTP Optimus Prime, POTP Swoop, POTP Beachcomber, LG Triggerhappy, LG Misifre, LG Slugslinger, LG Gnaw, TR Arcee, TR Twintwist, TR Kickback, TR Seaspray, TR Shuffler, TR Ramhorn, TR Walgreen Brainstorm, TR Quake.
In no order: Ones that didn't quite make the cut: CW Swindle CW First Aid CW Ultra Magnus 2007 Botcon Thrust TR Trypticon POTP Rodimus Prime POTP Optimal Optimus POTP Tailgate POTP Moonracer Gen. Whirl The ones that did: Classics Bumblebee Music Label Soundwave Gen. Warpath RTS/United Jazz Gen. Arcee Gen. Waspinator FoC Grimlock POTP Slag/Slug Siege Hound Siege Optimus Prime
