My number one choice would be my Masterpiece Prime with replaced smokestacks. After that, it would be my Animated Wreck-gar. And after that, it would have to be Cybertron Backstop. I know, I know, it's ridiculous. Arguably the worst transformer in years in terms of poses, articulation, alt mode, transformation, gimmick, etc, but there's just something endearing about the guy. As if he is so ugly, you just want to take him home and ask if you can keep him.

 

The only reason Animated Rodimus doesn't make this list is because of his decided lack of a nose. It doesn't look good drawn, and it doesn't look good in plastic. Otherwise, a solid, awesome figure.

FOr me Ultra, Magnus City Commander to be followed by Universe Powerglide, Rodimus Protector, Warpath or Highbrow or Thundercracker

 

but then again I may choose RTS Mindset of all things. The guys too cool!!

 

As far as anything in the HA/BT/ALT variations it would be a toss up between Smokescreen and HA Sideswipe and I think HA Sideswipe would win.

IMHO, none of the bayverse characters (or prime) are worthy of being the "ONLY" one over much superior series/lines, imho.

IMHO the Bayverse IS the superior series/line.

 

that's the nice thing about TFers - there are different lines for different folks. There is a lot to be respected about the bayverse line. But I completely disagree. A Bayverse toy doesn't even make my top 10. IMHO, the G1 line, Masterpiece line, Binaltech line are all "MUCH" superior lines. I much prefer diecast and reality based figures, along with G1 homage. A lot has to do with whether you 'play' with your pieces or display/admire them. But bayverse as a superior line?? LOL I respectfully disagree.

Hands down MP Grimlock for me.

I think It has to be my God Jinrai (Power Master Prime with Apex Armor). I can't think of a piece in my collection that I think more highly of.

Prolly my Black Drones Energon Optimus Prime prototype. Second is a tossup between Encore Metroplex, Either ROTF Buster Prime or Jetfire from the 2 pack and Cybertron Optimus Prime
