NOTHING WITH THE WORDS "REVENGE OF THE FALLEN ON THE BOX" !!!! Honourable mentions: Jetfire, preferably the Legends version, Megatron, but could have been better and needs G2 & Arhforce repaints, TR Powermaster Optimus Prime, again could have been better and I'm sure Legends Ginrai will be, RiD Ultra Magnus, and not just to make Ralph angry, and Cybertron Metroplex, not sure what the vehicle mode is meant to be but the robot's good. Top 5: 5) TR Soundwave4) TR BlasterBig fun toys, with the best reinterpretation of their originals action features. Soundwave needs to loose Blaster's gun and regain his. 3) CW Ultra MagnusPreferably the Legends version, but I'd want Minimus from CW. Fabulous redo of Magnus. Yes it could do with a cab robot but there's been plenty of white Magnus over the years, and yes the trailer could be bigger for deluxes, which would have pushed him beyond this size. But otherwise a great, great toy. 2) Cybertron Optimus PrimeAnother "not sure what the vehicle is" I'm told it's a fire engine but looks like a truck loaded with weapons. But the robot is AMAZING: articulation, weapons, sliding faceplate. And it combines with robots to make up it's arms, or would if Hasbro had done more than one: note to self, must by the CW shoulder adaptors! 1) RiD Optimus PrimeSUPER FIRE CONVOY! I'M A GOLDFISH, TRANS-FORM!

5. Highly controversial choice here but T30 Jetfire. It has a LOT of well documented issues, probably enough that you could have a thread titled Top 5 Problems with T30 Jetfire. However I rather like both modes once you have it transformed, especially the alt mode.
4. CW Megatron. Good version of tank Megatron with most of the right bits but it did take a £30 PE add on to get the most from it.
3. Legends Blaster. Like the TR version but with a better Deco and a funky Titan Masters surprise.
2. DOTM Nightmare Megatron. Love the design on this one.
1. CW Ultra Magnus (Platinum Autobot Heroes version). I'm glad I didn't get the MP version after getting this one because I can't imagine it'd be any better. I don't mind the lack of a cab either.

5) Beast Hunterswould have been better with the Prime Ironhide Commnander without the fins. 4) RTS LegendTinsy. Why the same TF scheme hasn't beenused for Ironhide & Ratchet I have no idea. 3) Combiner WarsI like the remoulding to the Ironhide mould, especially the arm with the hole in the end. 2) GenerationsNot everyone's favourite but it's a decent enough toy. 1) 1984Original and best once again. I wanted one of these from the first time I saw MTMTE (cartoon) andhad to wait till Encore!

A good thought, in that the opposite to villains might be an allies, so I can see where you're coming from.
Your thinking on the clue is on the right lines though in that it's NOT Human Villains...

Sadly just one beast for me, which is a shame cos I love them all! Except Randy of course. Strafe showed how good these old toys can be with a new really popping deco and several of the BW toys, notably Insecticon and the close to making it into the list Snapper haven't had one. Imagine a black and purple Insecticon! 5) WindsheerBlack & Purple jet with Megatron's head. What's not to like? 4) Clear Wrecker HookThe retail versions of Wrecker Hook seem the weakest of the the four MW vehicles. But this orange and green deco is stunningly good. If only he'd had a proper green & orange (note order) deco as hoist. 3) Clear Indy HeatClear blue is very nearly Mirage. 2) MirageIs actually Mirage after a 6-7 year wait! 1) StrafeTake Terrorsaur, paint him blue, BW Swoop. Result.

Well it sounds to me like a sound could describe a {Spoiler}Buzz whilst cutting through things (or people) is often accomplished by the use of a {Spoiler}Saw which taken together would indicate that the answer is {Click to reveal the truth who met the eyes before}Buzzsaw . So, how wrong am I? Karl
