Each has some links to lists if you're not sure if the ones you have in mind count. (you don't have to list favourites for every series if you don't have any interest in a particular series)
You can even give *brief* comments on why you like certain toys, as well as mention if you prefer the JP or US versions (if they are different).

Predacon - Tripredacus
Maximal - Optimus Primal "Blackjack"
Predacon - Magmatron
Predacon, Transmetal 2 - Dinobot II
Unicron Trilogy (Because I have a number from that era but not enough to quantify individual lists... :o):
Unicron

Believe it or not, this was actually quite a hard task as these lists can very likely explode in length if I were to not limit myself to 5 each - I am quite happy, however, that I can say that I own at least 1 great example from each of the lines listed, unfortunately though I don't necessarily own 5 or more figures from each to be able to quantify a list; such is the case for:

They are their own series... but some figures would appear to be inspired by Gen1 toys, if people are inclined to include homage toys into their form of Classic-verse.

You'd think the OTCA spell checker server, that is surely trunked to the Vector Sigma database, would have picked up that glaringly obvious typo in poor Lio Convoy's name.

I thought being Hasbro and cheaper in price, that my MP Screamer would be inferior quality. Good to know it isn't.

;)
As a university chaplain once told me, "I'm not going to let a machine tell me how to spell and use grammar, especially when it's wrong half the time anyway."
Forum My browser's spell checker seems to be biased toward American English anyway... cos when I spell words normally I get red underlines beneath them, like when I type mould, colour, gaol, programme, manoeuvre etc. it picks it up as wrong and recommends that I spell them as mold, color, goal (that's not even right, it should recommend "jail"), program, maneuver etc. -- yet I never spell those words according to this board (or any other board's) US English spelling recommendations.
I thought being Hasbro and cheaper in price, that my MP Screamer would be inferior quality. Good to know it isn't.
Yup. Although for people like me who already had the Takara version, I kinda felt ripped. :( But I still rushed at the chance to grab the Hasbro version from TRU anyway (and I'm glad I did, cos those babies sold out quickly! :eek:) The Takara version does look somewhat more realistic in jet mode -- so I display it in jet with my Hasbro version in robot mode. :) The Takara version isn't worth getting... just stick with the Hasbro version. I only have both versions because the Takara version came out first (had I known that Hasbro would release a better version later, I would have skipped Takara's). :o

Don't feel bad or even pressured to correct a typo. I don't expect every one of the thousands of Transformers names to be spelled exactly right. Since there is only one figure in Beast Wars that was a "Lion" Convoy, I knew what you meant - and that's all that matters with this poll.

Ok here goes. I'm also including pre-TFs as well as some of those weren't made into G1
Pre-TFs: MC-18 Magneman. The gimmick is inspired while it manages to also shrink down the basic design of Soundwave at the same time. Simply brilliant.
Gen1: All the Turbomasters and Predators (I'm naming 12 here- deal with it :p). They managed to take the G1 toyline in Hasbro distribution markets and breathe enough life into it to give us G2. The line has intelligent gimmicks and great designs with classic styling.
If it wasn't for this line coming out, I probably would have walked away from Transformers at age 12.
Alternator/Binaltech/Kissplay/Alternity - Tracks and Hound. Both designs managed to stay true to the G1 originals but
Gen2: Dreadwing, Tank Megatron and Laser Rod Prime. All 3 are simply brilliant in their designs.
Beast Wars - Polar Claw and Optimal Optimus.
Robots in Disguise/Car Robots - Mach Alert, Speedbreaker, Brave Max, Omega Prime, JRX, Build King. So many brilliant toys in the line. Another line where I have to list more than a select few.
Armada/Micron Legend - Overload
Energon/Superlink - Optimus Prime, Wing Saber and Omega Supreme - the most awesome Sentai style toy to ever grace a Transformers line.
Cybertron/Galaxy Force - Cybertron Defense Team. They're not a homage of any kind and manage to hold their own as original characters and toys brilliantly.
Animated - N/A (never really grabbed me- Ultra Magnus if I had to pick one)
Classic-verse/Henkei/Generations/Universe2/etc - Prowl, Bumblebee, Optimus Prime, Megatron, Seekers, Jetfire, Wheeljack. Brilliant Homages all round.
Movie-verse - Bludgeon and Seaspray (purely because they belong in the Classics line)
Masterpiece - US & JP - Masterpiece Magnus (he's not really ultra without his trailer :p).

I just realised we could pick up to ten in each series, so I added some more!:D
Gen1
Autobot Car Jazz - purely biased, I have relatively little interest in other G1s :p
Ravage - I want to give a special mention to ravage though because when I was nine I had an upsized orange and yellow knock off ravage that I took everywhere. So the original has got to be just as good, right?
Alternator/Binaltech/Kissplay/Alternity
BT Meister (white)
Alternators Prowl
Alternity (Brilliant White Pearl) Ultra Magnus - the only one I've opened, displays great in both modes.

Autobot Car Jazz - purely biased, I have relatively little interest in other G1s :p
The original 1984 G1 Jazz toy is a really well designed figure for the standards of its day. If you like the engineering of that toy, I'd recommend checking out other Transformers that came from the Diaclone Car Robot series, like 1984 Optimus Prime and the 1984-85 Autobot cars, oh, and Ultra Magnus too. :)
It was toys like these that blew our socks off when Transformers first came out in the 1980s and really laid the foundation for what the Transformers franchise is today. :D
