I think the Cybertron series ones are very pleasing (although would be better if they were actually box shape) as well as Universe 2.0.

I have to mention Durability. I remember a time when breaking a toy was an inevitability.

These days I find transformers a lot more durable and 'fool-proof'. While this is partly due to advances in plastics I have to commend the engineers behind modern toys for their design. It's a blessing for both collectors and children.

Compared to Galaxy Force and Henkei? (language differences aside)

Yeah Henkeis are nice but not as nice as Universe/Classics 2.0.
Galaxy Force to my untrained, Western-bred eyes really look like KO boxes to me. I'd imagine they look completely different to someone with an understanding of the Japanese script.
