Some additional comments
"It was great to see new and obscure characters brought out for the TR line."
"Wish we had another year of Titans Return rather than POTP"
"The only problem is that there is too many of them in a year"
"I think the Legends leader class was a bit let down this year. Godbomber wasn't that great and Sixshot didn't do it for me. Trypticon not included anywhere?" [Editor's note: Other than liked it or didn't wasn't much to vote on with the big Dino!]
"Couldn't vote for the clones as a group :P"
"The Masterpiece Beast Wars figures have been absolute standouts amongst the G1 Masterpiece line, it is ridiculous how TakTom's engineers and designers have seemingly plucked the Mainframe Entertainment CG models straight out of the show, and rendered them nigh perfectly in plastic. There have certainly been incredible entries into the ongoing G1-based masterpieces in 2017, but I feel Optimus Primal & Cheetor stole the show enigmatically."
"Just a fantastic year overall"

Some additional comments
"Absolutely NO interest in the movie toys this year. Saved me some $$$"
"Distribution Australia was AWFUL retailers need to stop stocking wave 1 so heavily. also frontloading the line with repaints was a dumb idea on Hasbro's part. the length of the line was also disappointing But I still enjoyed this line much more than Titans Return"
"The movie line was the most unappealing so far. The lack of stock making it to Australian shelves did not help."
"Didn’t add the fun formula they had with Titan Returns, think that would help the accessibility of the line"
"It's a shame that there were so few of the newer movie characters produced, even though they only had a couple minutes screen time the newer Decepticons were interesting concepts that would have been good to have as toys. I found the toy line a little lacklustre compared to previous lines."
"Didn't buy any, all expensive and looked like crap"

Some additional comments
"Good series that do not get the support here they deserve. Target audience loves them, but trying to get them the toys they want is nigh impossible without overseas stores."
"I've skipped these entirely."
"Poor show, makes it hard to get into the toys"
"Very sad to see RiD go, the line has been one of my favourites and it sucks to see it end before we could get toys of some of the fun and unique Decepticon Designs"
"It took 30 years, but Cyclonus' long-lost armada finally appeared in the forms of Shockdrive and Warnado. Bravo!"

Some additional comments
"I am so behind in watching the cartoon"
"Sad to see RiD end. I had enjoyed the show immensely. hopefully the next series will be fun too. But I will miss RiD"
"Watched a bit of Titans returns, but must admit I have no favourites of it from anything."
"Transformers R.I.D. ended up being ok, but just that, ok - Titans Return is a continuation of Machinima mediocrity. Transformers is REALLY lacking in the animation department, there isn't anything on the horizon to suggest a change in that situation which is even more concerning. I'd really like to see a return to form with Transformers in this space, as at the moment, the only thing worth looking forward to is the upcoming Bumblebee movie!"
"I've been enjoying RID a lot, it's not TF: Prime but it's well written and animated. the Humour of Grimlock is a definite highlight for me. I've only seen the first episode of Titans return, so I am yet to have a favourite character, and to be honest I am yet to be really interested. I like the animation style, and I can see why people are disappointed."
"I'm not up to date on RiD (found it a little boring). The TR cartoon is awfully written and too cheaply made to include any decent action."

"Liked it more than AOE or ROTF. but it's still just a Bayformers movie. I do appreciate the Decepticons actually getting even the slightest amount of personality this time though. "

"A shame Till all are One is over. but at least MTMTE/Lost Light is still around. still the best piece of Transformers comic fiction of all time"
"Haven't read enough to have a worthwhile opinion"
"How good is Lost Light?"
"Lost Light seems to have lost its way. I don't think the new art style is helping and the stories seem to peter out."
"I have enjoyed them a lot over the last couple years. I'm always behind though as I read the trades and not the single issues."
"I guess the Hatchette comic reprints don't count... even though it was probably the only TFs comics I read last year. I really should read some of the new stories, but having multiple TFs comic books running simultaneously makes it difficult."
"The Legends comics have provided me with the most comic joy this year."
