Favorite Transformers Figure

So I know we have a few Dromers here who also collect Transformers figures, I wanna know what your favorite figures are. I'm admittedly not a huge Transformers collector, but I had more than my share of figures as a kid. This was always my personal favorite:

Awesome Snakeweed! Its amazing how complex they can make these things nowadays.

Pictures are also appreciated, There are so many different versions of just about every character that pictures can really help. No biggie if you dont have one tho

Some of my favourite Transformers from my collection.

G1 OVERLORD:




G1 OMEGA SUPREME:




Japanese Microchange CASSETTE MAN aka pre-Transformers SOUNDWAVE (darker shade of blue, much more similar to the cartoon colour):




G1 GALVATRON:




ROBO FIGHTING GUN aka SHOCKWAVE KO with 12 different laser lights and sounds:




G1 DINOKING:




And, talking about impossible dreams, here are the two Transformers figures I desire the most... but, my pockets aren't full enough for them!

G1 LIOKAISER:




G1 BLACK ZARAK:

Ps: I KNOW we have more transformer collectors than this

My favorite was a Gen 1 SoundWave mib, but it got damaged and traded it off, been meaning to pick up another. It's not a figure, obvisouly, but it's a great cover swipe

Dude, i LOVE Transformers!!! i'm a G1ist primarily, but i do respect and enjoy all the lines. my very first TF was Windcharger. my absolute favorite TF is Mirage. My favorite cons are the insecticons (my 2dn all time fav) followed by soundwave and shockwave. my favorite autobots (after mirage) are Jazz, Optimus, and the Dino's.

I think my favorite "childhood" *cough* (I was like 14-15 when I started collecting Transformers) Transformers would be G1 Soundwave & his cronies, Devastator, Omega Supreme & Jetfire. Still have them, and a bunch more.
My Favorite modern one would be 25th anniversary Optimus Prime.
They've gotten too expensive, and I would love to have the new Masterpiece figures, I can't afford it. I have the MP Starscream and Megatron, but Megs is flimsy, and Starscream needs his base to display and looks out of place with everything else.

well i love collecting Optimus Primes in general, but i have to say my favorite would be the MP10 Masterpiece Prime which is the one at the center of the pic. I've now stopped collecting though, Zarana-X is right, it's gotten too expensive!

Cool Primes!
MP-01 and MP-10 are both graet toys, hard to say which one I prefer

Cheers,
Doug

PS. I have that 18" Spidey too, he's another great toy

My personal favorite is the one I got from Transformers the ride recently, Evac. As a fan of theme parks, I was very excited to see a ride car transformer.

I have a modest collection (anything G1 or G! styled) of Transformers.

Favourite?

Well I would have to say the "öriginal" Optimus Prime for the Autobots and Soundwave for the Decepticons.

Ive always been fascinated by the first Megatron-to this day Ive never seen one in the flesh. He is banned in Australia now so I wont be getting one without a gun license

Anyways, I have a revoltech Megatron that doesn't transform but is very toon accurate and must receive a special mention-also a (G1 deluxe?) Wheeljack from a couple of years back that is probably my fave of the modern ones...also the six seekers that are toon accurate from the same line.

I don't think I can pick a favorite out of all of them.
While nothing beats the Masterpiece figures which I could go on and on about... I'll stick to the more budget conscious figures.

Transformers Cybertron Starscream was one I recently acquired that I had wanted for a long time. He's extremely large but it's one of the few Starscream revamps I loved.
Hidden weapons and accessories like his crown really make this guy top notch.



Others that I'm loving right now are the new GRIMWING, SANDSTORM and SPRINGER figures. Budget conscious AND they look great on display.
