It really was a great year. Let's hope 2020 will be just as good, if not better.

I wrote this before i got the deluxe Cyberverse Bumblebee, and now I feel like he might have deserved the top spot. He is fantastic.

I also like how diverse our thoughts are this year. Lots of variability this year!

HAPPY NEW YEAR to everyone!

He is the best deluxe bee we have ever gotten, he'll get his iwn opinion piece when I have some time and you are welcome to contribute.

Also, since these are 2020 toys, i preffer counting him for next year's best of list anyway.

Okay, I can't do all the awards, but my toy of the year is, without question, Siege Ultra Magnus. This guy just oozes badass. He is chunky, fun, and armed to the teeth. If there's one thing that I'm most excited for in 2020, it's the prospect of a Masterpiece Raiden. (Though I probably won't be able to get him :-(

) Earthrise also looks to be promising.

Happy New Year, and 'Til all are one! :BH-PREDACON:

I forgot my favorite exclusive: the Siege Rainmakers.

I was pleased with the whole MP line this year (even though bumblebee has that horrible growth on his back)and all my figures were free from any defects. I also collected the entire siege line. But my biggest surprises were mp prime 3.0 and mp hound as both have been some of the cleanest bot modes...the beastwars mp figures all rocked.

I’m always excited to see everybody’s list of favorites. It’s a real testament to the strength of the franchise as a whole, that it can appeal to so many wildly different tastes. There’s definitely a couple figures that stand out across the board, but lists like these really help highlight what aspects of TF toys appeal to different people.

Throwing in my two-cents, I’d have to say...
Favorite Siege figure for 2019: WFC Leader Ultra Magnus. He was the first Siege toy I bought, and he’s been my favorite since.

Favorite Studio Series figure of 2019: I think I have to go Scrapmetal. He’s such a well rounded little figure. He’s bright, and fun. He’s got claw hands, which I love. His transformation is simple, yet elegant. He literally has no flaws.

Favorite Masterpiece figure of 2019: Probably MPM Jazz. I really love that little guy.

Favorite Exclusive of 2019: My first impulse was the Refraktor set, but it might actually be the set of Micromasters. Those little guys are so much fun to swap around, and the set has such wild colors. I’d like to see Has/Tak do more big sets of little figures.

Favorite Toy of 2019: I’m giving it to WFC Ultra Magnus.

I have seen so many people say Magnus is the best of the year, and I know as of yesterday he was at my Target. I'm beginning to wonder if I should actually go grab him

Since you like Galaxy Prime, it’s a safe bet that you’ll dig Magnus. I think Galaxy Prime is very cool, and a lot of fun, but Magnus did everything better straight out of the gate, in my opinion. I’d recommend snagging him. ;)^

He is cheaper on Amazon.

Magnus is pretty rad, D-Max. Glad to see I'm not alone in my love for the figure.

I wrote all this before I received Omega Supreme under the tree this holiday. I have been playing with him nonstop! Not sure if he usurps Magnus in the top spot for me, but DAAAANG! What an awesome Titan! He definitely falls in a "best of" category some where.

Happy New Year everybody! Looking forward to mixing it up with you all in the new decade! ;)^

Does this Magnus beat all the other Magnuses?

I think so. Should we amend our top 5 list? :lol:

I like him just a little better than CW because of his traditional nature, but both those mainline versions still beat out MP for ease of play.

If you're saying the CW version is just as good, that makes me feel a little better

Magnus and Shockwave were my 1st 2 Siege figures, I bought them together and haven't regretted it. I could do without Shockwave's extra crap, and I wish he was sold at voyager price, but Magnus was definitely worth it, and to me he's much better than Galaxy Prime. Galaxy Prime was an impulse purchase, and I do regret getting him. It would be nice if his supporting fiction was decent, but even the new comic is crap, so the toy is really just a toy to me. In short, I think Magnus could be tied for toy of the year with Omega Supreme.
