*cracks knuckles*

Though, I think I only got seven this year, so, in no particular order...

Generation 2 Megatron
Legacy Blaster w/Eject
Generation 1 Fortress Maximus
Studio Series '86 Steeljaw
Legacy United Animated Optimus Prime
Legacy Evolution G2 Toxitron Jazz
Legacy United G1 Optimus Prime

While not in any particular order, I will add some notes...

I wanted G2 Megatron since he came out, and even though he's incomplete, I was glad to finally get him. And he's HUGE.

Always wanted a Blaster, but it never happened. And now that I got one, I'm glad to have Steeljaw to go with, though if I'm being honest, I'd have gotten Steeljaw anyway. Had him and Rewind without Blaster as a kid, I can do it again.

I never had a good Earth mode Animated OP, so this finally fills that hole in my collection.

I love orange, and Toxitron G2 Jazz is just oozing in it. I also needed a good Jazz mold, and this one is good, indeed.

G1 Optimus is an icon, and thanks to Lord Giga Ice providing a trailer, I'm like 2/3 of the way to having an idealized modern recreation of the toy I'd always play with at my cousin's (though often without any accessories).

And Fortress Maximus?

Well, that's just the fulfillment of a lifelong dream. (Plus between Eject, Cog, and Cerbros, I guess there would be your 8 through 10, if we really want to get down to it?)

Bonus thing: As a young adult, there was a comic shop called Rebel Base where I used to live, and I remember seeing a G1 Fortress Maximus live and in person for the first time in a display case there. Standing in front of his robot mode was a G1 Optimus Prime. Eyeballing it, I was sure that G1 OP could fit into one of the bay's in Fort Max's feet, and I always wanted to do that. Years later, I'd be told that wasn't possible, and he wouldn't fit.

But now, with Legacy G1 Optimus... yeah, you bet I did that!

Favorite thing I bought this year (with very little competition) is Red Cog. He's fantastic. I hope they continue with accessory sets because they've finally got the hang of it. The weapons here are truly modular instead of feeling like there's only one or two combinations that really work. And Red Cog is an excellent pile of weapons himself.

I'm ready to forgive Kingdom for wasting a slot with just a box of blast effects.

 

[LordGigaIce]

No real order

Missing Link Sentinel Prime
EHobby G1 Fire Gunts Ginrai
Figure Ō G1 Tigertrack
Legacy Evolution Needlenose w/Sunbeam and Zigzag

Legacy United Gears

I'm ready to forgive Kingdom for wasting a slot with just a box of blast effects.

Iirc people also wanted more blast effects (although I myself am not super into having them in only those two colors). And Tricranius himself was pretty neat!

I do wish we'd gotten more in the style of the Centurion Drone. That one quickly climbed out of my price range on the secondary market (I did later manage to get a good deal on JUST the drone), but it seemed like a nice, full pack of stuff. If not as useful as the bundle that came with Red Cog. (I've long wanted that bundle of stuff, rather than Red Cog himself.)

 

[Sciflyer]

In no particular order:

1). Legacy United Tigerhawk
2). Legacy United Silverbolt
3). Missing Link Optimus Prime
4). TMNT Party Wallop Collab
5). Agent Knight / Knight Rider Collab
6). SS86 Swoop
7). SS86 Optimus Prime
8). SS86 Bumblebee
9). Comic Edition Straxus
10). Legacy Origins Wheeljack

 

[TheSupernova]

Geez...I didn't even buy ten Transformers last year....

#1 SS86 Optimus Prime (The best rendition of my favourite Transformer)
#2 SS86 Bumblebee (So much fun to fiddle with back and forth)
#3 Legacy Gears (See #2)
#4 SS86 Swoop (Finishes the Dinobots - finally!)
#5 Legacy Skids (Better than I was expecting)
#6 Year of the Dragon Crimsonflame (I'm a sucker for orange!)
#7 SS86 Gnaw (Adorable little chunky dude)
#8
#9
#10 SS86 Steeljaw (Is a thing I bought)

 

[LBD "Nytetrayn"]

Harsh.

 

[LordGigaIce]

The Steeljaw slander is unfortunate

 

[unluckiness]

He's decent but I just don't think he's top 10 material.

 

[TheSupernova]

I'm hoping the rumoured Ramhorn ends up coming out better.

But, as a whole, I feel like Soundwave's tapes have come out better than Blaster's so far

 

[LBD "Nytetrayn"]

He's decent but I just don't think he's top 10 material.

He is if you got ten or fewer Transformers that year!

There is a non-zero chance that somewhere on this Earth, this set is on somebody's top 10.

I'm hoping the rumoured Ramhorn ends up coming out better.

But, as a whole, I feel like Soundwave's tapes have come out better than Blaster's so far

And that's with Ravage weighing the average waaay down!
