[Shin Densetsu]

The ROTF line was launched last month and since then, and some of the figures ended up being stellar. So in your opinion, what are the best ROTF toys out right now? Here are mine:

• Leader Optimus Prime-The improved accuracy over the 1st figure, obvious through the sculpt, is amazing. Articulation is great and detail is very impressive. A very solid toy and the best figure from the main line. I just wish that the red and blue pieces were molded in the same crimson red/dark blue that TF1 Leader Prime had, and that the grey parts were either molded in silver or painted.
• Human Alliance Bumblebee-Articulated human drivers boost playability and this version of Bumblebee is the best movie version so far. Unless Hasbro makes a Masterpiece version or updated version if a sequel is planned, this will be the definitive movie Bumblebee. It has the highest amount of detail of any movie Bumblebee figure, and manages to still retain high durability/sturdiness, and playability. This is a rare combination but Hasbro and TakaraTomy have succeeded implementing those aspects into this figure. A job well done and a very fun toy to play with. Human Alliance is my favorite ROTF subline, and one that I think is the sleeper hit of the ROTF toy line. I eagerly anticipated the next figures, and hope that G1 versions are eventually made(who would be able to resist a G1 Optimus with Sparkplug and son?). Or Daniel with exosuit and Hot Rod?
• The Fallen-Huge for a voyager, has intricate detail, articulation is great and I prefer this figure to the way he looks in the film. A menacing figure with great qualities all around.
• Voyager Megatron-A gimmick that actually is accurate to the film, the most accurate ROTF Megatron sculpt so far, I don't mind the green, and the range of motion is superb. There is no other movie Megatron that can recreate the poses that the voyager ROTF version can do. If it was the size of the leader version, this would be the definitive movie Megatron figure.
• Skids and Mudflap-Hated the fact that these 2 had intentionally stupid looking faces, but after opening both, ended up appreciating them. Makes them unique and gives them a ton of personality, kind of like how the Animated figures did. Range of motion is superb on both, and to me, they are the sleeper hits of the deluxe line. I honestly thought I wouldn't think much of them, but they turned out to be awesome. I think the Human Alliance Skids will be the best, as it has more features.

So let's have it folks, what are your favorite ROTF toys?

I've only picked up a few, been busy with Marvel lately but here's my take:

RAVAGE- nice deluxe with lots of poseability and playability. Alt mode lacks though. jaw gimmick is pretty neat as well. Overall my favorite of the ones I've picked up thus far.

STARSCREAM- A HUGE improvement over the 07 model. Much more poseability and lot less kibble, more streamlined in both modes

SOUNDWAVE- my fav character and yet this model is both short and lack alot in the way of poseability. Alt mode is well it's ok for a satellite but lacks alot still

SWIDESWIPE- Really great alt mode and the bot mode is good as well. Love the sword gimmick. Has limited arm poseability due to shoulders though. Small legs and large shoulders make standing alittle difficult.

RAMPAGE- very difficult transformation and the "jackhammer" mode to me is just a waste. Great alt mode though and I really like the spidery bot mode

SIDEWAYS- again a great alt mode but the bot mode lacks something. Again the chicken legs and large torso make for difficulties in standing and some poses.

Overall though I gotta say the ROTF figures are better than the 07 movie line or at least the ones I've picked up are.

The Basics(Scout) Class figures:

I don't have all of them, but they are the most creative and ingenuitive out of all the figures. I have Knock Out, Dune Runner, Depthcharge, and Rollbar. All badass figures. None of them exude that "Bayformer"-esque look to them, imo. Maybe Depthcharge...but he's just awesome anyways.

Ravage:

Just awesome. He has the Bayformer look that I despise, but he works. He really does. Top that with some incredible articulation, and you have a great animal Transformer.

I do have Sideways and Sideswipe, but I'm not going to say they're among the best. Mainly because I only find their alt modes appealing.

Everything else out there in stores doesn't interest me at all. Mainly because they're just repaints, too "Bayformer"-ish, or cost more than the last movie but with less quality.

I'm only going to go by what I've picked up, since I can't really comment on what I don't already own. That said, here is my list:

HA Bumblebee - Just as awesome as Shin and everyone else has said. Worth every penny. Even the Sam figure is fun as it works with most Alternators!

The entire Scout line - I will echo Runamuck's sentiments in that I have every mold so far except Dune Runner (who I hope to pick up soon) and they all rock! Any one of them could fit into almost any line, since the "Bayformer" style is very subdued and the alt modes are far-ranging.

Skids and Mudflap - Two of the funniest (IMO) characters in the movie are captured quite well in their respective Beat and Trax versions. Of the two, toy-wise I actually prefer Mudflap as his robot mode looks better to me (without doors hanging off his ankles).

Sideswipe - Really slick alt mode and good robot mode. His best feature has to be his swords. My only gripe is the wheel feet, but with a little fiddling I can get him to stay standing.

Wheelie - A great toy that has the same trick as Animated Lockdown: deluxe-sized alt mode with an almost voyager-sized robot mode. Wheel feet can be an issue here too, but Wheelie has a better center of balance than Sideswipe.

Honorable mentions - Soundwave and Ravage. Soundwave is a little too short IMO and Ravage's alt mode is not all that inspiring. But hey, it's fricking Soundwave and Ravage! They were considered bought the minute they were announced. Now if only the birds could get some movie love...
