Universe/Classics 2.0

[Ode to a Grasshopper]

Only have henkei Cyclonus and am waiting until my home situation is more settled to open him...

Tough call on my favourite Classics/Universe release though, I'm torn between Cyclonus 'cos ol' bunny ears finally has a decent robot mode and Mirage (who I don't actually have yet but loved while playing with my nephew's).

Between Cyclonus and Mirage I prefer Mirage primarily because Cyclonus' vehicular mode is somewhat disappointing at the aft, whereas Mirage's alt mode is solid.

I think I'd have to go with Henkei Hound and Smokescreen, they were two of my G1 favourtes I never had as a kid. And the Henkei treatment on these two is just perfect they look just like thier G1 Counterparts.

Not sure who my favourte Universe toy is, I'm rather partial to Rodimus though.

All-time Classics: Skyfire. Hands down. Unbeatable. Never will be beaten. And if it is, I won't be complaining b/c it'd have to be one hell of a fine toy.

Classics 2.0: Sideswipe. I don't think a single Classics 2.0 can beat a Henkei, the Henkei almost always edging ahead in my opinion. Sideswipe's the exception b/c he's got no chrome spoilers unlike the silly Takara one. I would've been happier if they'd given him two guns, one chromed the other in the black and white missile colours. On top of the paint issues, the mold has to be one of last year's best.

Henkei: So many to choose from but C-01: Prime has to be the pick. That or the Crystal Convoy version, it doesn't matter. To me, those figures just exude love for a mold that I originally liked but wasn't that impressed by. To me, it's the high point of what a good paint job can do for a toy and just make that much more appealing.
