Hordak!
Vote The Maxx for toyark toy of the year 09,The Maxx would vote for you if you were running for toy of the year.
RotF Leader class Optimus Prime. Mostly because he's the only one in the group that I have, but he is really good too.
Had to go with Hordak on this one. Though Skywarp is a close second.
City Strike Snake Eyes. Its awesome to the max
Going with ROTF Leader Prime for this one. It is a massive improvement over the previous version from 2 years ago, in many ways that surprised most of the fandom. Sturdy, highly articulated, and looks much closer to the movie CGI models than the previous version; a definite improvement.
While the Buster Prime from TakaraTomy looks better, I'll have to say the US version here is still worthy of toy of the year. Out of all the summer blockbuster movie based toylines, ROTF seems to have been the most successful, and this Prime figure certainly helped with that.
Despite the high level of detail, it's still rugged enough to be played with. It's got great heft, an involved and rather challenging tranformation, and overall it's just pretty damn impressive. Kudos to Haskaromy for turning out a bad ass version of Prime for the mass market.
City Strike Snake Eyes
City Strike Snake Eyes
I've got to go with City Strike Snake Eyes. The sculpting on such a small figure is phenominal, I just can't ignore this toy.
"Doesn't look like it's going well, eh?"
Nah, Wade, it doesn't... Think you'll be okay?
"Please, that blind ninja ain't got nothin' on me?"
Um, pretty sure he's not blind...
"Really? Then why does he wear that ridiculous visor? Like... He actually knows how that looks?!"
Er, Deadpool.
I'm going to have to go with Prime on this one.
I came in to vote for Marvel's Deadpool.
Hey, thanks man. Bea Arthur's got nothing on you.
But even though I don't have one, that AT TE looks like the funnest toy.
Awww. I've got two of those in my garage if that changes your mind.
/stealing renegade's shtick.
Boo to Optimus Prime. Its the same friggin thing from a couple of years ago repainted. It's a good toy, but not even my fave TF toy from this year.
ROTF Prime is overrated
And were are all the Macross fans at? The VF-11B kicks the crap out of all of these toys :lol

Went with MP Skywarp. I actually like the mold, and Skywarp has always been my favorite of the seekers. But I do give it up to ROTF Prime as a very close second, followed by CS Snake-Eyes and Deadpool fighting it out for 3rd.

Not to mention he can combine with Jetfire, which is also an impressive toy regardless of what anyone thinks of the movie's portrayal of his character.
Impressed by Starscream, floored by Thundercracker(got the Japanese version), so with Skywarp, I love it, but it didn't make as much as an impact on me compared to his brothers because I already knew what I was in for. Now ROTF Prime...amazing! Buster Prime looks even better and the new 2 pack with Buster Prime with battle mask looks to be the definitive leader movie Prime unless Haskaromy makes a Human Alliance Prime or TF3 Prime.
Jetfire is a great figure too. I actually didn't mind his alt mode, and his robot mode is fun. He is HUGE in alt mode! If you combine him using the alterations suggested at TFW2005(I think it's switching the direction of Prime's feet), he has MUCH more range of motion and articulation in combined mode! Not to mention, what you come up with on your own almost always looks better than the stock combination on the box.
I'm stuck between ROTF prime, Snake eyes, and Hordak...
So I ended up voting for the one that's the most complex. ROTF Prime.
But honestly, all 3 of those are equal in my eyes as best figures ever.
ROTF Prime
all three choices suck there are far better toys that have come out this year.
