2021 for me was a very lean year when it came to Transformers and collecting. I've always had to be incredibly picky due to budget and space limitations but I really enjoy reading others top 10 lists and their thoughts because it may help me in the future. So I thank those who have so far put in the efforts to make their lists

For me it was a 'Top Two' as it was my ONLY two purchases in 2021 (and one special mention preorder from 2020)

My first purchase was POTP Rodimus Unicronus. Several years late to the party as always I was incredibly surprised about how much I liked this guy. My particular copy had tight joints, nice paint and sticker application, and felt really good in all modes. Plus when partnered with POTP Nemesis Prime from a few years earlier they really look great together.

My second was Earthrise Sky Lynx. His engineering is a marvel. I really thought he would primarily end up being displayed in combined DinoBird mode however I've really enjoyed having him in all his modes. The detailing is fantastic, and the sign of any good transformer in my opinion is one you can intuitively transform without the need for instructions and just some reference images for each mode (although I did miss the Lynx's front shoulders the first time!) and is just fun to do so. Sure the bird mode is a little bit of a challenge to balance however once you get it he just looks fantastic. I like me a good robot cat and so I really dig Lynx Mode. Overall he has a real presence especially when combined together. The poesability is top notch and he just oozes personality. Again like Roddy Unicronus and Nemesis Prime, I was able to pair him with Siege Skyfire and the colour palate matching make the two look great together.

Special Mention was to Generations Selects Super Megatron. He arrived early 2021 despite being purchased in 2020 so felt he could be put here. He has a lot of replay value due to his head/chest swapping features and triple changer mode. As an added bonus the red/grey sword from POTP Nemesis Prime suits him so well it was like it was made for him and really increased his presence.

Sorry for cheating but theres my two(or three) cents
