Favourite Transformer toy of 2015

[Bidoofdude]

CW Prowl, regardless of its retool status, is a magnificent figure, beautiful. CW Silverbolt and Swindle were up there in terms of being extremely faithful and character-emotive, beyond being good figures in their own right.

MP Ultra Magnus all the way! Followed by Takara's Legends Ultra Magnus.

Also finally got my hands on the MP-10 reissue with trailer, and was completely underwhelmed by it! Not sure why, just wasn't feeling it! Granted I was never really a Prime fan, but I was never really a Magnus fan, and yet the Magnus figures blew me out of the water!

MP10 is nice as a set, but as far as being a stand alone MP action figure is concerned, MP-1 is still a much better toy. As Lord_Zed mentioned on another thread, I think that a lot of hype around MP10 is due to the fact that he scales with the MP Autobot Cars. So yay, he can carry the Cars in his trailer. But unless you care about this sort of thing, I'd absolutely recommend MP-1 instead.

I already have MP-2 from way back in the day, so am more than happy with that!

That said, if that Weijiang upscale KO MP-10 were to be released in Magnus colours, well, i'd be all over that!

I didn't get much this year (Maybe 30-odd TFs in all, and I've only opened half), and I haven't opened/messed around with all of the ones I did pick up, but there are a few standout pieces from those I have gotten around to experiencing.

If we're including 3rd Party TFs then MMC Feral Rex knocks everything else out of the park. The Feralcons are easily my favourite piece/set out of everything I own, and that's not likely to change any time soon.

My favourite Official TF(s) would probably be the Combiner Wars Protectobots. They're all solid, fun toys which look great as a team. I really wasn't expecting to be impressed by them, but they were a pleasant surprise. If I had to choose one out of them then Hot Spot is the best, but their charm really is as a set.
Legends Brainstorm rates an honorable mention as well, but he's really all about the robot mode - the alt-mode and the transformation are pretty naff. I forgot about him before, but I really enjoyed Legends Cosmos too.

The worst - by default - is probably Energon Slugslinger. He's not bad, but he is pretty fiddly and kind of ugly as well. He makes a good enough Decepticon mook - which is what I bought him for - but that's about it.
Runner-up Worst is definitely MP Road Rage, who also suffers from being fiddly and lacking dynamism/poseability, but the remoulding is quite well done and she does look good in either mode. She'll also be a mook in the Odieverse, but at least she's a pretty one. And she gets points by default for being the first female Masterpiece.

Best toy goes to mp Magnus, simply due to the fact it's not over priced, the lack of paint apps still work for me. And he seems fun.
I have not gotten my uw devy so no idea how is it

Worst toy goes to mp tracks, looks cheap, over priced in many places, bad toy design, lousy paint job. Other mentions road rage and bluestreak as the paint apps were bad. Bluestreak has poor QC on paint apps as multiple members had issues.

If I were to include reissue then mp -10 is sadly still bad as takara did not bother to repaint it better but charge an arm for it. Is IMO the turning point where I question what is a masterpiece. Sure we have the easy mp-1 vs mp-10 .
I just ask you guys to hold up your mp-18 streak vs mp-10 you will see obviously mp-10 is not painted. This is where I am disappointed and they took such a long time to reissue it that allowed Ko that was better painted float in the market.

Surprisingly mp-12 sideswipe I give thumbs up! As its well painted and when you hold tracks next to him, that's where tracks fail.
