My List!
Optimus Prime
Sideswipe [make an exception and go G2 on this - peel the stickers off an he looks better than the G1 one!]
Prowl
Smokescreen [IMHO, Bluestreak looks a little dour compared to these 2]
Swoop [best Dinobot toy?]
Inferno [again, to cut down on prices, go G2 and just chuck the water cannon in the bin]
Grimlock
Skids
Perceptor [looks badass]
Soundwave
Shockwave
Skywarp [best colour scheme, Thundercracker's not bad either]
Pipes
Frenzy
Afterburner
Lightspeed
Thrust
Springer [hey, I like him!]
Hun-Grr
Misfire
Getaway [v. nice for 1988]
Hot Rod
Sizzle
Guzzle
Override [these last 3 aren't gonna give Black Convoy a run in the gymnastics stakes, but they're cute for what they cost]
Blitzwing
Tracks
Hound
Red Alert
Shrapnel
Kickback
Roadbuster
Point Blank
AM Shockwave, Blaster, Bumblebee, Megatron [if u can make a fusion cannon], Sideswipe... sod it, all the AMs who've been on the show are nifty, unless the Devastator being out of scale thing bugs yer. Oh, and maybe not multi-coloured Thundercracker either]
If you've got malto money:
Star Saber [or go k/o]
Artfire
Stepper
Black Shadow
Greatshot
Graphy [for Blaster!]
AM Megatron with the fusion cannon
That AM Elite ripped off Black Zarak. His name's gone. He probably costs more than Black Zarak, but you'll save on shipping

Re: My List!
I'd go for Slag or Grimlock personally... although that Diaclone Swoop which Devv put up pics off gave me a better appreciation of the toy than I had previously...Originally posted by Cliffjumper
Swoop [best Dinobot toy?]
If you can get more than one, the Dinobots all pose really nicely together...
Other than that: Jazz, Bumblebee, Optimus Prime, Laser Rod Optimus Prime, Ravage, PM Prime, Sideswipe, Hot Rod, Catilla, Ratbat.
Well...
...add into that my general dislike for TFs who look best when suspended with fishing line from the ceiling (waaaaay too much hassle, especially for anything breakable and/or expensive), and there's my appraisal in a nutshell.
Worth getting if you don't want to TF him too much, though, I would guess.
Actually, that's what I like about all of the Diaclone moulds... the lack of detailing on most subsequent TFs really let them down, IM-not-so-HO.
The only trouble is that some of them (eg, Sludge) have parts which you actively have to bend slightly in order to TF him, which isn't very good for the plastic.

Double Punch.That AM Elite ripped off Black Zarak. His name's gone. He probably costs more than Black Zarak, but you'll save on shipping
Scorponok became Black Zarak; AM Black Zarak was Double Punch
BW Scorponok got repainted for Japanese Convention exclusive, and called Double Punch.
Aah, the joys of name reuse...
Re: Re: My List!
For some reason, I'd go with Ramjet...Originally posted by Brendocon

So does that make Lander ugly too, Mister Holier-Than... er, -Ugly-Toys? 'Cause I just might go ape poop if I find somebody making fun of Lander right now.Originally posted by Brendocon
Thrust is cool, but there's a reason Takara only did Dirge as a mailaway...
Flec's selling a lot of RID, Armada, and Energon, and a few G1 toys. 'S all I'm sayin'.
The TFArchive RPG - "the most popular part of the site[!]" - Skywarp. Darn tootin'.

Oh, I am quite sure you guys will give me lots of help spending that cash when i get there!Originally posted by Blitzwing
You'd be surprised how fast you could spend $400 there. And you'd walk out with more than just a PVC Skywarp.

well thats a bad way to have an outlook on TF toys. RID is a great line.Originally posted by Blaster_86
G1 only.
And you do know that Blaster is one of the crappier season 2 bots as a toy, dont you? On most the tape door won't or shouldnt open, not sized correctly, the head looks like crap, and he has very little articulation. Mainly on the head and arms.
Oh and on Jazz, the windshield is much like Prowl, Bluestreak, and Smokescreen's, it breaks off very easily
But thats my view on the toys
