For me, it's Armada Starscream (shocking, right?). Good looks, good posability, decent gimmicks, fun and simple transformation, and a screaming (lolgetit) jet mode.

What kind of question is that? There is so many, of all shapes and sizes. "Best" as in in general consensus? Best car, best plane, best whatever?
So, I say Metroplex because it can be used as a great murder weapon. The others are too light and small to do any decent killing.
Just the best one, period. How about the best Deluxe class?

I kinda like the size of Hasbro's, but after seeing that picture, the FP Smart Robin is my definitive Brainstorm. He's just that good. Hasbro's Brainstorm has a gimmick has the potential to lead to breakage if you're not careful, as evidenced by Balt's video, where as FP's gimmick IS the transformation and it's so nicely balanced and intuitive. Hasbro's, you just fold him up and unfold a bunch of wing panels, where as Smart Robin...everything on him just explodes open like a flower blossoming, and then comes back together in either mode to form one of the tightest and cleanest robot or jet modes, I've ever seen.

That's the difference between a $70 3rd Party figures vs. a $25 Hasbro figure.
Both are great & nice, but in different ways. (notice how I'm just ignoring TW's figure)
Just wish TFCC Chromedome and Hasbro Brainstorm were around the same height. That might have gotten me to divest from the Function X line, but as it is, they have too many good characters in the pipeline for me to give FP up.

Is the TW figure the tiny one in the centre? He certainly looks nicely detailed, but...yeah, he's a bit too small. Sorry, TW. (The actual design and sculpting looks great though, no arguing with that.)

No, ToyWorld's is the one on the left. Fansproject's is the deluxe-sized one.

Huh, I see.
Doesn't look too bad to me but then I know nothing about Brainstorm beyond him being a Headmaster that turns into a sci-fi plane. Did he have some QC issues?
not from anything ive researched. TW's first offering (hardbone/hardhead) had issues though. still both great figures though. just depends what aesthetics you prefer.Delta Magnus wrote:No, I'm talking about the ToyWorld Brainstorm.

Agreed. Also, there is just something awesome in owning the version that is fully licensed and made by the company who created the character.

I'll just stick with Hasbro's since Takara's has yet to appear in any fiction.megatronus wrote:william-james88 wrote:Sabrblade wrote:Yeah, if I were to go for any Brainstorm figure, I go for the one that actually looks like a character I can see in the fiction, rather than any of the ones with the made up designs that are only somewhat inspired by the actual character's look.

It's why I have the Takara version on preorder, and plan to buy the Hasbro one on sight!
