Here are my favourite female Transformers 5) Micromaster Sky High 4) Beast Machines Triceradon 3) TFCC Spacewarp 2) Energon Treadbolt 1) RiD Spychanger Optimus Prime Before Phil complains, these are all legitimate female Transfomers thanks to the wisdom of the fan club and Vector Prime!

There's a missing set of inverted commas in that last sentence!

Week 234: Female TransformersYour top 5 Female Transformers please! 5. Energon Arcee - my first female Transformer, and I have a lot of affection for it despite its flaws. Pink/Black/White is a great scheme. It basically belongs to my daughter now, who has paired her off with ROTF Knock Out. 4. TR Arcee - top toy, very effective Blurr remould and well painted. Though her Titan Master is hobbled with the exo-suit homaging head. 3. PRID Arcee - another great, characterful sculpt slightly let down in the articulation; also looks great as BotCon Flare-Up and Flamewar. 2. Transmetal Airrazor - close between this and the Armada repaint, but I'm in a mood for more colourful toys lately! 1. RID Windblade - yes these toys are a bit simplistic, but this one is a nice sculpt, especially in robot mode, easy and fun to transform and has a sheathable sword where the sheath can be attached to her hip! A touch more articulation and she would be one of the best sword-wielding Transformer toys ever! Closely bubbling under: Thunderblast; I know she's a shell former, etc., but I still like her in both modes and have fond memories of her and Lugnutz in Cybertron, even if she isn't exactly a positive female role model. I checked the list of female Transformers on the wiki to see if I'd missed any, and was initially delighted to see one of my favourite RID toys Night-Cruz was in there. Then I saw where that had been "officially" established

Myths and ... Legends? So either Takara Legends or Legend-class Transformers?

Top five Primes? As in the mythical ones of legend, not Optimus.

5) CW PowerglideFab small Powerglide 4) T30 TailgateReally good Tailgate, works well for his MTMTE version. Be interesting to see how a repaint of the POTP Windcharger looks..... 3) TR SharkticonWe love the Sharkticon. But I do like the following toys better. 2) TR BrawnLots of simple things done very right with the bonus of it interacting well with the previously released Brawn Titanmaster head & gun including storing the little robot in the big robot. Pretty sure it's destined to be Outback, Gears and possibly Swerve. 1) T30 SwerveBrawn put up a challenge but I've loved Swerve for a good few years. It gets everything right and perfectly captures the MTMTE character.

Wait I thought the really small guys were legends

The really small ones were Legends but are now called Legions.
This is the smaller than deluxe carded size, the one with Sharkticon in.

Bad Phil! Japanese Legends are not the same as Legends size class. Should be two different weeks!

I have found a subliminal message in Phil's post. Most of the links point towards...Powerglide!

I'd not thought about doing the Legends line till Jim suggested it and we're running out of weeks now! I have found a subliminal message in Phil's post. Most of the links point towards...Powerglide! -Ralph Not sure what happened there! Fixed.

Honourable mentions: Jetfire, for dumping the chrome, Sky-Byte, for looking fab, Blackarachnia, for being a decent repaint, Blurr, for looking better, Trypticon, for not breaking and G2 Megatron for being fab even though he isn't out yet. Top 5: 5) Ultra MagnusGets the colours on Magnus spot on but unfortunately swaps Minimus Ambus for Alpha Trion ensuring I must keep both. 4) Fortress MaximusGreat repaint, much closer the original, my preferred small head and it plays the Headmasters theme at you. Minus points for gluing the legs shut removing some playability. 3) RTS Scourge/Black ConvoyLovely much needed repaint, only down the list because it's been bettered and is nearly the same as the club version. 2) Lio ConvoyStunning repaint. Looks gorgeous. 1) Titans Return Scourge/Black ConvoyEverytime they redid the Op Voyager in different colours I liked it better. This is the best version. A rerun hits shortly apparently!

Week 235: 2013+ LegendsYour top 5 toys in the current Legends size class that started in 2013 please! HOWEVER since we haven't gone the Legends toyline in Japan we might as well do those at the same time so your top 5 Legends toys too please! See tfwiki.net/wiki/Transformers_Legends_(franchise) for help! Legends ClassHmmm, I seem to have not been buying so many of the Legends class, pretty sure I only have four. 5. Cosmos - don't have one, but he looks pretty decent. Might pick up the TR iteration. 4. TFSS Nightracer - I got this by default with Krok, and it's not bad. If the Tailgate version had come out nearer the start of MTMTE I would have jumped on it, but as the series went on and he got more aggravating I didn't bother. 3. CW Powerglide - not perfect, a bit flimsy in places, but still the best modern version we've had. 2. TR Gnaw - He mostly stays in Shark mode, but he looks so good in it. Despite limited articulation he has a lot of character. 1. TR Seaspray - I have a long-standing fondness for Seaspray, and his TR toy is a very characterful, long-overdue update. Takara LegendsAnother line that has been gearing up while I've been winding down, only have two which will take the top two spots by default. 5. Sprung - great toy, and though I don't have this version the colours appeal to me 4. Blurr - really shows the difference a deco can make, the Hasbro one looked so bland and cheap 3. Targetmaster Hot Rod - wasn't too interested in the Hasbro version, but the Legends one looks like something else 2. Armada Starscream Super-Mode - a pretty good mould done up nicely in blue 1. Weirdwolf - not only has the right face and slightly better colours, but the bonus Apeface-but-in-Weirdwolf-colours is awesome!

Galvatjim got it right, AGAIN!
Legends! I love these figures.
5) Seaspray. Grown on me. Wasn't sure about the chunkiness, but now I love him.
4) Powerglide. Near perfect update. Even though his arms can't perfectly duplicate what G1's arm can do.
3) Brawn. Near perfect update. Even the empty space where he keeps his sandwiches.
2) Cosmos. Near perfect update. Except he has guns on his knees in robot mode instead of his fore-arms!
1) Sharkticon. Lord help me. Such fun and expressive toys! Only gets to no.1 'cos of the army buildingness. In a group, they are brilliant fun. One by himself, not quite as much fun.
