    There were so many great toys to choose from, but this is probably my top five:

    1.Generations Warpath
    2.RTS Perceptor
    3.United eHobby Kup
    4.United Jazz
    5.Generations Wheeljack

    Classics range should definitely continue - there are still so many other prominent G1 characters that they need to share the love with

    Just so it's perfectly clear, this thread is solely about the Generations, RTS & United line of toys and not the Classics, Henkei and Universe toys.

    Keep the comments flowing bots!

    Oops sorry, I kinda lump them all together as "Classicsverse." Well, if I had to pick just within Generations, RTS and United then it'd be...

    5. United Tracks. A very nice update of the G1 toy - much like Binaltech blue Tracks... but only a lot cheaper. And unlike BT Tracks, the flame deco on the bonnet is tampographed rather than stickers (although I can understand why BT Tracks' flames are stickers).

    4. Reveal The Shield Optimus Prime. I honestly thought I would dislike this toy, but after picking him up (on sale) I was pleasantly surprised. Highly articulated (I'm particularly impressed with the wrist articulation which lets him "hold aloft" his sword like He-Man ) and the biggest surprise -- he's actually compatible with G2 Laser Prime's trailer! Neat!

    3. Generations Thrust. 'Bout bloody time this toy got a mass-retail Classicsverse release. Although I already had Gentei Thrust, I went and bought a Generations Thrust which I gave away as a competition prize purely cos I wanted to show my support to Hasbro for releasing more G1 Seekers in Classicsverse.

    2. Dirge. Same reason as for Thrust. I put Dirge as #2 though cos I needed it more than Thrust -- although I already had a Gentei Thrust before Generations came out, I never got Gentei Dirge (and I don't have any of the BotCon Classic Seekers either). So getting a Classicsverse Dirge was a bit of a grail for me.

    1. Darkmount. FINALLY being own a Straxus toy is every G1 fan's wet dream come true.

    Yeah, fair enough. I tend to think of them all synonymously.


    Previous list reprise:

    1. Henkei Lambor mold. Well engineered for multiple characters homaging the G1 Countach mold.
    1. Generations Warpath. I never really had much affection for Warpath, till now.
    3. Henkei Skyfire. Another good homage.
    2. United Autobot Drift. Something different.
    3. Generations Thundercracker. Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue.
    3. United Jazz. A good mold with a good gimmick.
    4. United Tracks. Another good mold with nice detailing. His wings never did it for me on the G1 toy anyway.
    5. RtS Lugnut. For the greater glory of SkyShadow Megatron.
    Which brings us to where we are today...

    My List:

    (Please note I don't have WheelJack, Warpath, or Scourge yet)

    1:United Jazz. He just looks so damn cool, sure his shoulders don't articulate as far as some. But he just looks so damn tough, chunky but not brick like, and that white that is so cool and fresh, the best white plastic TF, I've seen since the 80's

    2: United Kup. yeah the face could be better (but 3rd parties can fix that) Again like Jazz he just looks cool to me, a perfect update of the old Kup, and his transformation is great too, even the kibble on his arms can't turn me of this guy.

    3: Drift. I imagine I'd like the United one better than Hasbro's. As much as I hate the Drift character sometimes, his toy was done flawlessly, he looks proper G1 even though he's really a poser. Nice weapons too.

    4: United Wreck Gar. Again another guy who looks the part, he's a little weedy compared to some of the other TF's on my list, but the relative kibble free robot mode and shiny red chest won me over

    5: I'll keep this spot free for now till I have a look at the last few United and Generations toys.


    As to the future, well I'd like to see them complete the Autobot Cars, Skids, Hoist and Trailbreaker. Trailbreaker we just saw as a legend, but Jazz and Warpath were legends first too so I reckon it's possible. A Scout size Wheelie and more comic based figs like Straxus and Drift would be nice too.

    I don't have Warpath, Scourge, Kup, Wheeljack or Frenzy/Rumble either... I just made my list based on what toys I have.

    From what I own my top 5 would be in no particular order

    Generations Soundwave
    RTS Perceptor
    RTS Wreck-Gar
    Generations Red Alert (love the mould)
    Generations Thrust

    For me RTS is just Generations in different packaging with a rub sign. IMO it didn't need to happen and was probably a waste of money that could have been used elswhere (by Hasbro, not me)

    in no particular order

    Generations Wheeljack i think he is one of my new favourite toys ever he just represents the character so well and is just damn sexy in both modes

    United Grapple he was my first G1 toy and have always had a soft spot for him

    United Jazz he is just awesome to the MAX!!

    Generations Scourge an excellent representation of the original character

    RtS Bumblebee is just a cool little figure to own, and having the stripes on him just makes him seem a bit more cooler than any other versions
