Was didgging out some figures from "The box" and although it got me thinking initially ("How many Starscreams/bumblebees/Prime/Megatrons" do I have, I just came up with another thought. What toy is your favourite of any given character that has multiple versions over the years, and which is the worst?
For example:
Bumblebee - Although I quite like the deluxe stealth version of Mvie Bumblebee with the invverted colours. I think my Human Alliance movie Bumblebbe (Bayformers) is my favourite, as soon as I saw it I wanted it. You can spend some time transforming it which is good, but it's just a nice fure, nicely prportioned, doesn't need flasy lights and sound gimmicks the figure as it is alone is enough IMO. Special mention to G1 Bumblebee of course.
I'm not keen on Animated Bumblebee, I don't think it's the worst but like a lot of those figures (Prowl, seekers) they have problems standing because of how parculiar they are to match the animation of the show.
Optimus Prime - Toughie, without doubt G1 here, but there are so many cool ones. The RID fire engine one that combines with magnus from the early 2000s was very cool to me, deluxe Prime is a nice figure - anaimated - fair. I don't really have any masterpieces or Bayformer Optimus to compare, the Armada truck Prime will always have a special place in my heart, even though I waited to long to get it and ended up at the time only ever being able to get the Powerlinx version. Although I do love that shade of midnight blue. Worst? Plenty of Bayformers that aren't good, Energon Optimus Prime, not that I have it wether singular or powerlinked, eek it's not great...
So let's hear some of yours and I'll add some of my thoughts on thoose characters too!
