I think the actual top 5 is quite clearly labelled but I shall amend my post to make it doubly clear!

Thursday Tease:
This week we might be on something, but it won't be drugs
We might be under something, but it won't be the influence
Certainly the only thing we'll be drinking anywhere is Energon fuel

Nobody else has had a go so I'll throw in my usual wrong guess. Apart from last week when I got it from the easiest clue in history.
Cybertron range toys?

Oh we did Cybertron AGES ago (Week 42: Cybertron) BUT from memory at least TWO Cybertron toys fall into this category.

Week 173: Seacraft: Boats & Submarines 5) ROTF DepthchargeSimple but decent basic. 4) Allspark Power StormsurgeThe Hovercraft was good in Cybertron but it needed these colours to really make it work. 3) Cybertron ThunderblastBoat Girl is a bit of a shell former but BIG GUN! 2) HFTD SeasprayNow this is a nice toy. Decent update of the original, cargo space large enough for a basic, c-clip bars to tool it up, lovely diving gear face and fold out flipper feet. Probably my favourite movie style toy. 1) Micron Legend ShockwaveArmada's Tidal Wave is a very good toy. Very VERY good. This just pushes it a nudge higher with an amazing grey and purple colour scheme which just happens to match the cartoon & the X-Dimension Sea Team. 3 combining boats into a big boat that transforms into a hulking robot which can combine with Megatron. Fabulous.

5. ROTF Sonar. Same as Depthcharge but I prefer the dark colours.
4. Stormsurge.
3. Armada/Legend Shockwave. Takes Armada TidalWave and improves on the paint job.
2. HFTD Seaspray. A glorious toy. 2 wonderful modes and great finishing touches. The bot having a diving mask, the missiles are spraying water, the fans rotate (sort of).
1. Energon TidalWave. Yes, I've already used a version of this on my list but the deco is that different it's a completely new toy. Translucent green, white and gold graffiti. Marvelous.

The original 80's Seaspray is a toy I just will always think of as the ultimate boat toy as it was my first Transformer. Long since lost and I just never saw an other one for a decent price in good condition with the stickers perfect but I did acquire the shiny G2 version!

Oh no, Phil. Remind us when the Ultras were a thing. -Ralph Ultras started in BW with Optimus Primal Ape and Megatron T-Tex. The combiners fall into that size class and there's a pair of Ultras for Transmetal & TMII. The size ran through BM (Jetstorm, Nightscream, T-Wrecks), RiD (Megatron) & Universe 1. The largest Armada size (Megattron, Jetfire, Tidal Wave is effectively an Ultra and indeed that size class was later rebranded Ultra as it ran through Energon & Cybertron with the likes of Skorponok, Bulkhead, Scourge & Cybertron Defence Red Alert. There's 3 ultras in Universe 2, plus repaints thereof but I can't think of any real use after that,

Were Armada toys actually sold as Ultra class at retail though? I don't remember that.

All the Armada toy size classes had different names. There were some odd names in Energon too. But by Cybertron the size class is definitely called Ultra again, so thus all previous toys in that class are effectively Ultras too. There's even a chain of Carry Overs. Megatron & Jetfire are same in the same size class as Tidal Wave in Armada. Tidal Wave is sold in the same size class as Scorponok in Energon who in turn is sold as an Ultra in Cybertron.

Phil, would it be accurate to say that the Armada Ultras were haunted by terrifying ghosts?

No, Phil, no. If an Armada toy was not sold as an Ultra then it was not an Ultra! -Ralph
