Tough Choice

[Hot Rod]

Ok here's a tough one name you're favourite figure from any Tf line not just the character but the figure itself as well. Based on the way it looks the transformation and how much it makes you grin when you look at it.

[Deszaras]

There can be no overall best TF. I can list my favs per line but not overall:-

G1:- Sixshot {Or greatshot who's slightly better but is a rare japanese figure}

G2:- Megatron

Machine wars :- Soundwave

Beast wars:- Transmetal tarantulas

Beast machines:- Never had any figs from this line

RID:- Omega prime

Armarda :- Unicron

Energon:- Divebomb {Or shadow hawk cosmic type, which is the better colour schem but is superlink only.}

Cybertron:- Scrapmetal

Universe 1.0: king atlas

Classics/henkei :- Henkei megatron

Classics/universe 2.0:- ultra class Onslaught

Movie 07':- leader brawl

Animated:- Leader megatron

ROTF{So far}:-leader Jetfire {Narrowly beating ejector, ransack and leader megatron}

[LD2062]

Well I'm a bit limited by not having ever seen a good many from most lines in person. And I'm not aware of most figures that aren't in the TFL database.

But to this point:
G1 jetfire
G2 roadpig
MW - never had either but hoist and sandstorm look interesting.
BW - optimal optimus
BM -quickstrike
RID scourge
armada - sideways
universe - devastator
alternator - ravage
energon - unicron
cybertron - primus
classics - ultra magnus - especially with the city commander trailer
universe 2.0 - cyclonus
animated - Shadow Blade Megatron (i might say wreck gar but I never had one)
movie - stealth bumblebee
rotf - jetfire

RiD: Wait, wait: I'll make BW a two way tie and just put Cryotek here.
Armada: Unicron, duh.
Energon: Landmine.
Cybertron: Galvatron, actually, but I like to think of him as Megatron...
Star Wars: TIE Bomber/ TIE pilot.
Classics 1: Optimus
Titanium: Bricktimus!
Movie 07: Voyager Ironhide
Robot Heroes: DISPENSOR
Animated: Ultra Magnus
Universe 2.0: Cyclonus (He's on the all time toplist!)
ROTF: Can I say the two-pack that contains the awesome of both Jetfire and Optimus at one time?

[Swindle]

Animated Grimlock
G1 Soundwave and pretty much all of the cassettes

[Catalyst Prime]

I don't typically pick favorites as I tend to like one just as much as the other but...

Of the figures I currently own-
G1: Optimus Prime
G2: Megatron
BW: Cheetor
BM: Strika
RiD: Rail Racer(JRX)
Armada: Megatron
Energon: Barricade
Cybertron: Hot Shot

Universe 1.0: Micromaster Trains "Raiden"
Universe 2.0: Sunstreaker/Sideswipe
2007 movie: Voyager Ratchet
RotF: Ransack

[SentinelPrime]

Fortress Maximus, Brave Maximus and Custom Grand Maximus
Unicron
Primus
G1 Omega Supreme
Powermaster God Ginrai Prime
My G1 Megatron Gun collection
Masterpiece Prime
Masterpiece Grimlock
My G1 Jets collection
G1 Dinobots and Prehistoric Dinobots

[Overlord]

Masterpiece Grimlock...transformation is simple yet innovative, looks great, and grinning is reflexive in either mode

masterpiece Prime...same reasons as above

Overlord: robot mode is a brick but all his alt-modes are awesome and just exudes "warrior-general of the decepticon army"

Trypticon and Fort Max..I love city bots

Black Zarak: transformation is a bit meh but the scorpion alt-mode is just fantastic...gleaming gold on black

[captainamerica]

After some careful consideration and considerable shelf-staring I have to say the Classics Jetfire. It's the bot that pulled me back into TFs. I love the transformation sequence, alt mode, and the armor. Very 'inspired by the original toy' meets animation model aesthetic. The combo mode with the Classics Prime recently discussed in the toy secrets thread is icing on the cake for me. I love this toy so much I will buy every version of the mold (3 down, 1 to go ).

[Jazz]

Herm, this is tough.....

-I've always liked my Classics Cliffjumper just because he was one of the few Classics I was willing to buy before the line vanished. Robot mode- classic looking. Alt mode- so-so.

-My '07 movie Jazz is one of my favorites because I just like him, y'know? Robot mode- pretty cool. Alt mode- also cool.

-Cybertron Swindle is my favorite Scout class because he rocks in general. Robot mode- Great IMO. Alt mode- its ok.

-Universe Onslaught (Voyager class, not the legends class) is also one of my most liked TFs simply because his looks and transformation process. Robot mode- Very...menacing. Alt. mode- kinda bulky, but cool.

So there you have it- 4 of my favorite TFs.
