Before you vote, just remember that I have recently learned of another 2 items of Class merchandise that you do not yet own. Two?! I'm amazed. I thought this show sank without trace. |

FWIW, Phil's right. What is this transforming from and to? A watch to a watch? It's not a transformer. It's a watch with a protective cover. Tomwe's example is a transforming robot (mine was blue) and not because it has a humanoid form, but because it changes into something else. This is no different to a ladybird when it spreads its wings. It's still a ladybird. Explain why he is called a heroic Autobot who joins missions on the Reinforcements from Cybertron flier, Pinwig |

Because disinterested copywriters in marketing departments know nothing about the subjects they have to write about.

Besides, I could call myself a heroic Autobot, but it doesn't make me a Transformer.

I've thrown my vote behind the Powerdashers as I do think they're what I'd have gone for with the option and the robot points saved up.
That said, Time Warrior does look a fairly superb piece of tat.

Metroplex is still Metroplex whether he is a city, a mobile battle station or when he transforms into a gigantic robot. |

Yes but he's a Transformer. A watch is a watch.

A watch can be a person too. More than meets the eye!

I've voted Time Warrior. Regardless of whether he's a proper Transformer or not, the Powerdashers are rubbish by the standards of the TFs that have come before in this poll, and add nothing particularly new to a 1984-5 TF collection, whereas if you have Time Warrior you can wear him and pretend you are one of the Autobots' allies, with a talking watch. More play value. If you want a vehicle/robot TF to play with, you've already got plenty. And the question is what is the best toy, not what is the best transforming robot.
Also... it's the face of the Last Autobot!!! Maybe after restoring Cybertron at the end of Marvel's TF #80, the Last Autobot turns himself into a watch for G.B. Blackrock.
Er... because.

Which, as I think has been covered elsewhere, makes it an alternate form. ;-) |

Looking at the options, and if I'm voting on what toy I prefer, then I'd have to go with the toy. The other one is a watch.

So far, eight people are correct, and seven people are horribly mistaken!

If Phil does not think the Time Warrior is an actual toy, then why put him in a vote? We could have just chosen the best Powerdasher.
Phil knows the Time Warrior is the better toy, which is why he put it up against ALL THREE Powerdashers.

People often use aggression to cover their fear.
SO IT HAS BEEN FOR ALL TIME.
I wonder how Time Warrior is connected to the Guardian of Forever?

In real life, most TF's do not do what they say they do. Does Prowl really fire acid pellets? I think not.

No, no. Urzu is just saying REAL Prowl is far nicer than his fictional equivalent. His gun fires marshmallows.
