Which one/ones and why?  This post will self-destruct Inspector Gadget like once done. |

I think it would depend on whether you're more fond of G1 or Beast Wars. Jhiaxus is an amazing figure simply for what it is, but Blitzwing has boxing gloves.

I am more fond of G1 and more fond of Blitzwing than Jihaxus. Unless anyone presents a counter argument I am just going to let you influence the decision 100% |

Blitzwing's jet mode is pretty poor, but the tank is okay and the £40 price in Smyths is good.

Although Gnaw is the most important for me (being from the 1986 movie) and Jhiaxus deserves mention because he is the only proper representation of the character, I've voted Tigatron & Airazor as they are such nicely made toys and a good duo.
Even if Tigatron's tiny hands irritate me.

Huff is right. Tigatron and Airazor also have the advantage of being the first and only and amazing updates of these characters from BW. I have thrilling 30 Blitzwing in storage and Studio Series Blitzwing in hand. Jhiaxus and Gnaw are really tempting as is Tarantulas, but Tigatron and Airazor are a class act. Thanks for the push Huff! I will do what yu tell me.
p.s.: I have MP Prowl in storage and Siege Prowl in hand. Tis enough

I mean the only dud on that list is Gnaw.
TR Gnaw does it much better for half the cost.
Blitzwing is the best version of the character yet, but he's been done before and TR is a really great toy, as well.
And as has been said earlier, Tigatron, Airazor, and Tarantulas are the first updates the characters have had, combined with Airazor and Tarantulas being two of the best molds in recent years.
And this is the first proper outting for Jhiaxus, who's also a really great mold.

Now I'm thinking Perceptor or Blaster... The answer to that one is Perceptor AND Blaster. Or Goldbug & Blaster. Or Tracks & Blaster. Blaster hung out in a lot of duos, didn't he? |

Blaster v Soundwave too.
What is it with this guy? He has all the best buddies and all the nemesises. Nemesis'. Nemesiss.
I await the Blaster V Darth Vader classic cinema scene commemorative two pack.

But the problem with legacy Blaster is the head. It's not Marvel comics Blaster and that makes it a bad toy.

I mean, it's not the US head, but it is the TFUK and Action Master head.

NO! Dear gods, no. That gives me traumatic flashbacks to that horrifically violent and grotesquely fatal fight between them in.... that that thing that it was in. |

Billy fought bravely in Headmasters...
But for me, Blaster will always be going up against Grimlock. Those Budyiansky stories were golden....
That said: what should I do? Other is almost winning the poll. Who is Other???

Blaster hung out in a lot of duos, didn't he? Blaster and Cybertron-mode Powerglide to fly him to and from his missions. Martin |

Powerglide is not available. I am leaning towards Blaster and Perceptor. They can argue with each other. That's better than flying.
