What are your favourite toys of each of these Series?

[griffin]

For each of the following series, list your favourite 5-10 toys.

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).

[Hursticon]

Generation 1:

• Decepticon, Headmaster - Scorponok
• Decepticon, Constructicon - Devastator
• Autobot, Powermaster - Optimus Prime
• Decepticon - Soundwave + Mini-Cassettes
• Decepticon - Cyclonus

Beast Wars:

• Predacon, Transmetal 2 - Megatron
• 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... ):

• Unicron
• Primus
• Autobot - Omega Supreme
• Decepticon - Tidalwave
• Decepticon - Soundwave

Classicsverse:

• Decepticon - Cyclonus
• Decepticon - Scourge
• Decepticon - Lugnut
• Autobot - Optimus Prime
• Decepticon - Soundwave (WFC)

Movieverse:

• Autobot - Optimus Prime (ROTF/Leader Class)
• Decepticon - Bludgeon
• Decepticon - Mindwipe
• Decepticon - Soundwave (ROTF/Preview)
• Autobot - Sentinel Prime (Leader Class)

Masterpiece:

• Autobot - Grimlock (Hasbro)
• Decepticon - Megatron (MP-05)
• Decepticon - Skywarp (Hasbro)
• Decepticon - Starscream (Hasbro)

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:

• Generation 2
• Beast Machines
• Robots in Disguise
• Alternators

By the way, which series does Power Core Combiners belong to? (Movie Classics or it's own?)

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.
