Been thinking about this one for ages. So many to choose from. Do I go for nice Transformation, looks or fun? What to do.
Finally I think I have come down to my top three. and they are:
*snip*
These guys.
#1 is Needlenose. For not only being a Targetmaster, but for also being a stand-in Starscream when I didn't have one (which was for ages I was without.) He was also my main leader of the Decepticons forces. Oh and he has a great bio too!
#2 Is Brave Maximus. The Korean version though. For being the biggest TF toy in existence and impressive. Mainly for making me feel like a kid again. I remember after the hour it took me to get him out of his box (Twist ties! I learnt to hate them!), his sheer size and general awesome nature forced me to get out my other toys and have Needlenose launch an all-out attack on the Autobot city. I love the yellow paint that makes it look like there are lights on. It gives a good idea of size.
My wife was shocked in seeing me have a full on play like a kid. Something which I hadn't done since I had met her and for at least good 5-8 years. It was a joy to behold. It still freaks her out a little bit when I drag him out now. But I don't care.
#3 is.. Can you guess. even though there are 4 TFs in the picture, there are only 3.
That's right, it's Omega Prime.
This guy is here for being a cool looking robot, two pretty good toys when apart and mainly for getting me back into transformers again. I went off TFs after the Micromasters a bit and interest waned. Beast Wars didn't really interest me, I thought they were rip off figures. But I had a friend at work and her nephew was watching the RID show, she mentioned that Optimus and Magnus combined. A mate at work (as we all were at the time) Said "What' he called? Kick-Arsimus Prime?" And the thought of Prime and Magnus made me hunt them down like a man possessed. And I was back into Tfs, coz I thought they were pretty fine indeed.
Honourable mentions go to Cosmos, for being the first, Optimus for giving my Autobots a base until Max came along.
