What's your favorite gimmick?

[Larkhainan]

Headmasters, combiners, triple-changers is a good list

[Xtreme987]

Combiners is probably my most favorite then a close 2nd is lightpiping. Triple-changers would be 3rd.

[Pascal]

Multiple modes, when well done.

[Blitzwing]

Yeah, multiple modes, triple and beyond are great. It is probably why G1 Sixshot was my favorite 80's toy.

Couldn't possibly agree more.

Ohh, good one that I never thought off. I assume you likely enjoyed Altenators then?

[DesertDog]

Combiners. I have six G1 combiners, Devastator, Superion, Defensor, Abominus, Computron and Predaking plus some of Monstructor, Bruticus and Pirahnacon. And I'll have over a dozen Combiner Wars/Unite Warriors gestalts when I'm done with those lines. Headmasters are a close second with Micromasters third. Love those little buggers.

[ConvoyGTR]

A really well done transformation scheme. No need for all those addition gimmicks.

But I also enjoy Combiners and Headmasters too.

With you.

I have a soft spot for target masters. They're stupid but I have fun with it. Plus if you lose the little dudes the toy is fine (LOOKING AT YOU G1 MINDWIPE I NEVER EVEN *HAD* A HEAD FOR).
