Your Top Hasbro | Top 3rd Party

[CanBot]

This is the first thread I've read here that actually has praise for Leader Sentinel Prime ...I think mine is blushing in his packaging!

[Nullray]

To narrow it down is very hard. I collect mainly Takara stuff so to pick the Hasbro line I would have to choose
1) SDCC/ACG Metroplex
2) Armada Unicron
3) Alternator Swerve

Third party - I could go on and on because I have so many of them.

1) FP Shadow Commander w/ PE accessories
2) FT Quakewave
3) TFC Uranos

I only have a handful of third party stuff so I don't think I will be able to offer much opinion on the matter... Still you can still pick up iGear Mini Warrior M.A.N.A.T.E.E. On BBTS for super cheap and I didn't regret the little guy.


Now for Hasbro... Well just thinking of my main shelf here is some of the stuff I just adore (roughly in chronological order)

Transmetal Optimus Primal
Transmetal2 Megatron
Transmetal2 Jawbreaker
Cybertron Leader Optimus Prime
Cybertron Hot Shot
Animated Wingblade Prime

So yeah a lot of them but also a lot of random choices.

Thanks! I should have been clear no worries about what I have, it's more of what is top for you! If they match they match if they are different even better!

Also interesting list for me to have a good look at!

Just remembered one I forgot!

G1 Deluxe Insecticon Barrage! That guy's transformation is pretty clever for his time and he's got a beautiful bug mode. Wish we could get a new one!

[The 12th Prime]

My Top Has/Tak:

3) Hasbro Entertainment Pack Deluxe Megatron

2) Takara's Prime FE Starscream, looks good in both modes and I enjoy transforming him and his 5 clones.

1) Takara's 2010 Primus, I love it in planet mode and I love it in bot mode. The colours of the plastics is so delicious and the paint apps are just right.

Now Independent toys groups:

3) FP SteelCore, the trailer wasn't what some of us we're hoping for but and an interesting and ambitious figure, design and colour pallet make up for it plus bonus points for an interesting original offering.

2) FP Deluxe coloured Insecticons, the Venom, Chop Shop and what's his supposed name look great and interesting in different decos and slight remould from the initial release.

1) TFC Hercules, why? Because when I felt the first figure in my hands I got those goosebumps and that feeling that I wasn't going to break this toy. Solid, bland and chunky is how I like my Constructicons.

You know I keep forgetting about good smaller dudes:

Prime Legion Cliffjumper
ROTF Scout Class Skystalker and his repaints (I need that Lazerbeak ><), Ejector, Brimstone, Hubcap, Dirt Boss, Ransack (BIPLANE!)
DOTM Human Alliance Sandstorm, Icepick (SNOWMOBILE!) and Reverb
Cybertron Scout Class Shortround mold (I especially like the 07 Movie Storm Surge recolor) and even Repugnus.


I probably got a ton more I could recommand that I'm not thinking about right now. The Cybertron Scouts in particular are really fun guys.

The giant guys rightfully get a lot of praise and a ton of them are excellent, but the little guys I feel are way too often overshadowed by the towering behemoths.
