Primus help us, I'm a long way behind with these. I plan to try and get caught up with them on Sunday or Monday, once I've got some of the other things on my to-do list dealt with...
On that note, Phil, a few weeks back we had "Non-Diaclone body Decepticon jets" is that across the entire franchise, or is it just "The Transformers" and "Generation 2"?

Honourable Mentions Optimus Maximus Fun toy, but with dreadful plastic. Lots of important lessons learned here ahead of Metroplex. GDO Springer best use of the Tommahawk mould but since completely overshadowed by the Voyager. GDO Hoist nice Legend repaint. B2: fun arms Micron that makes a Double barreled cannon. Legion Wheeljack: good enough to stand in on the Classics Legends shelf. The main event 5) Prime WheeljackFun toy, decent Wheeljack 4) IronhideFrighteningly one of the best Ironhides ever done. Works as Ironhide really well and works better than the deluxe version by a country mile. 3) Skyquake2) DreadwingEffectively missing Cyberjets. Such fun. 1) Cyberverse Battlesuit BumblebeeYes the vehicle mode is rubbish. But there's something about putting small defenceless BB in a MASSIVE battlesuit complete with missile launcher, light up stuff, hands that flip round to reveal cannons and plenty of holes both 3 and 5 mm for add on weapons. LOVE this toy even though the rest of the world hates it.

It's a rubbish Bumblebee, Phil. You know this to be true in your heart.

A good year! 5. MP Sideswipe - not to everyone's taste, but I really liked him, and it was something special to start getting MP toys of the cars at this scale. 4. Deluxe Vehicon - a marvel of engineering 3. Deluxe Arcee - lots of character, good fiddle factor 2. United EX Tank Master - beautiful deco on an already great mould 1. Cyberverse Ironhide - wonderfully playable, characterful toy Bubbling under - BotCon Kick-Off, a lovely deco, maybe very slightly off with the head mould; Artfire, not quite the revelation that was Stepper but still a nice deco on a solid figure; Deluxe Bumblebee, surprisingly one of the most fun toys from the Prime range; United EX Dinopope; Was this the year of the G2 "Gift Set" with Hero Prime and G2 Jazz? There must be a ton of Arms Micron stuff I'm forgetting, too... -Jim

Here is my top five Animorph list 1. Tri-RexA stunning figure, perhaps the greatest thing ever made. Plucked from the nightmares of humanity 2. That big voyager sized monster thingWhat is it? Will we ever know? It has three modes - thingy, thingy and thingy. Perhaps it has more. Infinite modes. 3. McDonalds yellow man in a clear plastic birdSome sort of modern art statement. Priceless! 4. Unreleased deluxe figuresI am a hipster so the best figures are the unreleased manta ray and anus monster that escaped into Germany in limited quantities 5. My soulThe greatest Animorph is the Animorph that lives in me and you, the one deep within us all.

I always really liked the Animated one. The new Takara Legend is based on it but with extra articulated boobage because Japan.

I really wish they'd not added the giant boobs. The spider mode looks terrible with them!

I have never owned a Blackarachnia, and until Animated none of her toys appealed at all. Maybe the TM2 one a bit.

It's really frustrating, as there wasn't anything wrong with the original design (well, the fangs DID pop off every time you wanted to transform it I suppose)

5) BMIn cos I felt I couldn't nominate the same mould three time. Shame Hasbro couldn't count! 4) BW JapanThe Taratulus toy is good fun and the BW repaint was great till the show came along and ruined it all by painting Blackarachnia in different colours. Fortunately the Japanese version works better with the grey for green and darker purple but these changes really hurt the co-moulded Japanese Buzzsaw. 3) LegendsAssembly errors, difficulty moving the chest up and bra fangs aside this looks a really attractive toy in both modes. Some of the joints are annoyingly stiff others, notably the rotating beast parts on the robot limbs, are annoyingly floppy. 2) BW TelemochaFab. Take the Tarantulus mould, paint it in the Blackarachnia colours. It would appear that somewhere down the line the co moulding was broken as there's no Telemocha Buzzsaw equivalent for Blackarachnia! (probably when the FK repaints were done as there's no normal BW spider there.... hmm, I wonder what we can deduce it would look like from the FK Waspinator monstrosity) 1) Transmetal IIOh yeah. Posable spider legs. Grapple. Swappable spark. Just looks gorgeous. So hard to find and then everywhere here cheap thanks to the Chinese.
