Top 5 Generations, RTS & United toys?

3) RtS Cyclonus - be it the first release or the new 2-pack recolour, this figure is awesome, well articulated, has certain Awesomeness to it .. in bot mode. so so in plane mode but to be able to execute the targetmaster concept to it is just plain awesome!

Forgot about that guy, RTS 2 pack Cyclonus is indeed awesome. Don't much care for the Universe one, and the Henkei one better but a little bright, but RTS is perfect. If your going to repaint a toy as the same character that's the way to do it.

It's interesting how some people have listed Jazz or even Perceptor in their Top 5 list. Those toys didn't make my list because Jazz's non-locking chest and Perceptor's non-locking shoulders are massive let-downs because they interfere with the core function of the toy itself -- i.e. playability.

I think playability is pretty subjective issue, I don't see those two toys as having features that impede playability myself. Maybe for the Gok brand of playability but for me they suffice. Jazz is my absolute favourite of United and I have no problems with his torso, it doesn't hinder me from posing and reposing him to fight the Decepticons. Preceptor I find similar, though he' not in my top 5.

I have a greater issue with Tracks backpack, which seems to come loose the moment I go to repose his arms or legs, of Grapples crane arm that just gets in the way, and makes his army pop of at the elbow whenever I pose him.
