>>7894156because 3P would definitely win and the Hastards wouldn't like that.
>>7894151Purely Hasbro, I'd go with ROTF/HFTD leader Starscream. Big, complex(what MP later became, ah the days such toys were just regular retail and not "collector markup"), nearly perfect(needed wrists), easy to transform despite the complexity, and actually looked so good that even most people who hate the movie shit liked it(then again, movie toys back then ditched a certain degree of "accuracy" to the CGI shit and made things look nicer). Had that level of quality been retained, POTP Rodimus would have been a much better toy.
They got really expensive for a bit but there's a good KO out that has the super rare FWI ad-on included, and was sold in TF1 or TF2 colors, and prices have begun to drop.
I'd go with MP-13 but it's pretty basic, it really is on par with most deluxes at the leader class size and sold at MP markup, a fact alone knocks it down. Plus the tapes were retarded G1 microcassette size which hindered their quality, if they had stuck to the MP-01 scale for the expensive MPs the tape bots could have been bigger. At least the KOs are sold at leader class prices.
MP-01 shows its age and MP-10 needed the KOs to fix the flaws.
