    I started collecting because of this line, well, mainly classics and universe 2.0, but it all falls under the same umbrella. I blame Rodimus!
    My three favourites for display, in order, would be:

    United Jazz - Chalk another one up for this guy! The best representation of G1 Jazz to date. He looks extra sharp thanks to the metallic details. Solid silhouette.
    United Stepper - Basically flawless. Striking deco and details, love the colours. Displays perfect.
    Henkei Smokescreen - Classic transformer form with an interesting and understated colourscheme. Just lovely.

    To strictly talk about Generations only figures, I'd go with Thundercracker, Thunderwing and Thunder Sky Shadow.

    Honestly though, this line has so many awesome figures. I'm in agreement with a lot of people's choices so far. Lugnut, Mirage, Cyclonus, Tracks are all fantastic too. Gosh, us ozformers have got some good taste!

    Slightly different. Alfes2010 has some good comparison shots on his blog. I think United looks a little nicer as it's missing the weird red/orange paint apps. Although, he could do with getting his "angry eyebrows" back. Sorry for cutting in Bidoof.

    Yes! This is super annoying on the RTS version, as with the Gift set redeco. They fixed this on the United Jazz though. I don't know how, but it works.

    I really like them all. Except WFC Bumblebee which I have thrown against the wall numerous times! but It's hard to pick the best.

    My top 3 would have to be:

    1. Thunderwing, love the mould and has that G1 look.
    2. Drift, looks totally cool and with the comic to go with him.
    3. Kup, especially with the third party head. The one with the cigar.

    the torture of others sparks is music to my sensors!!!

    Looking at my display (recognising I have them all in robot mode) I nominate:

    • Cyclonus (I think it's the Challenge at Cybertron one I have out),
    • RTS Jazz
    • Classics Jetfire.

    I would have included Mirage too, but the list was... full.

    Except for the size, I find FOC Optimus to be better than WFC in pretty much every aspect.

    Judging by display value only, hmm...I actually like the WFC figures for the vehicle mode display. Bumblebee and Prime look very good in vehicle modes.

    My top 3 would be:
    -Generations Voyager Springer. Looks great in all 3 modes. Great articualtion for action pose and the 2 weapons give you lots of posing options.
    -RtS Wreck-Gar. Him riding a junkion bike. 'Nuff said
    -Drift. Car mode is a bit too big among fellow deluxe cars but I display him in robot mode anyway. Articulation is a bit limited on the shoulders and no waist joint. But you can not really ask for more when he can dual-wield that "second to non under heaven" thing can ya.

    Honorable mention:
    -RtS Jazz. I painted some details on him and put an Autobot badge on the hood. Displays well in both modes.
    -Scourge with his sweeps. The cape really does it for me
