Haven't thought about it much, but that's probably why I have instinctively chosen not to go for what I consider non-transforming toys (includes Kre-O, and definitely stuff like Robot Heroes). But you might ask me what about stuff like PE Motobot (Arcee) where you have to reassemble whole parts of the figure? Too much for one thread to handle...

Now... the mini-figure Kreons are an interesting category. They do kind-of transform, so I guess I should've included this guy. If you would have voted him your favorite Springer, let us know!
Dude, it's your thread, so it's entirely up to you whether or not you wanna include those kinds of toys or not.

If you're interested in what the general consensus is, I can tell you that under the UCM these kinds of figures don't count. That's what people voted on. But this isn't a UCM thread, it's your thread -- so for the purposes of this thread it's entirely up to you what you want to count or not.

Really getting a bit tongue-in-cheek here... looks to me like some people have fairly strict views about 3rd party products. Should they be included in polls like this? Should we even buy them? Can we consider that something like Warbot is our favorite representation of Springer? Once again, there's probably already a thread about this...

Personally, many of my favorite stuff are 3rd party - for example, I think the best Insecticon representations out there are the FP ones.

Anyway, I'm really enjoying some of this discussion... it's such a great media to be a fan of!
Again, it's up to you.

The UCM wouldn't count it, and I personally wouldn't either... but as I said, this isn't a UCM thread (unless you want it to be), and it's not my thread. I can offer opinions, but I'm not going to prescribe what you should do or how you should think.

If you wanna count Kre-Os, Legos and 3rd party stuff, then do it. You're the author of this thread/discussion, so you can establish whatever rules you want for your poll.
