Top 20 Figures of 2021 - #Transformers

[@g1starscream267]

So I'm new to toy colleting, I literally started this year, and I was surprised to see that the figure I got today made the list. I got core class Soundwave today. I'll definitely check out the other Transformers on this list.

[@ApologeticPyro]

Yeah same, I got core class Soundwave and got addicted.

[@serPomiz]

Cc soundwave is a nice little figure, in a nice little package

[@UndeadAhead]

I think rattrap is good.

[@thelosersside5622]

Me too, I bought BPF Siege Megatron and SS Optimus Prime.

[@oatmealraisincookiesaregar2548]

1. Ss 86 Hotrod - Basically perfect, the engineering is worth the price for me 2. Siege Starscream - Adore the robot mode, articulation is great 3. Earthrise Wheeljack - Nice robot mode, really like the car 4. Ss Dino/Mirage - Love the design, both modes are great 5. Siege Red Alert - First time having this mold, such a solid figure

[@sillydave5544]

It's a shame the clear plastic for the windshield pieces breaks so easily on Wheeljack. It really ruins a otherwise fantastic figure.

[@MasterPlo]

Is Starscream worth it over other g1 jet style deceptions like Blitzwing etc.

[@blimbam]

I respect your opinion, but i think seige starscream is a mid figure, because IMO, the transformation is really flimsy and annoying. One of my copies of the mould broke, RIP acid storm. also i think the extra parts get in the way. Nice list though!

[@hassanrao470]

1. Ss sideswipe. The vehicle mode sells the figure for me and everything else is pretty good 2. Ss thundercracker. Once you learn how to transform him properly he becomes awesome. His Moses look great and he has this certain chunk to him. 3. Ss blitzwing. He is the most fun ss figure to just mess with. He loses points for the shoulders and the vehicle mode being a bit lacking 4. Ss jolt. He has two really great modes that’s all there is to it. The backpack is a good example of how to make shell forming work. In robot mode it’s in intrusive, in transformation everything lines up and tabs in properly, and in vehicle mode it looks great. Only main issue I have is that the side skirts can be a bit cumbersome 5. This is a tie between Ss grinder and FOC bruticus. They both have some major issues. Ss grinder has two awesome modes but the transformation is a pain and after a month I’ve only properly lined everything up once. Bruticus is a bad figur but I still love it. The individual combaticons are meh but still somehow very fun with the exception of onslaught. In combine mode if you fan mode the arms it looks pretty good. Onslaught really drags down the set in all 3 modes. He’s only ranked 5 because I got the set used for $70. I wouldn’t pay much more than that. Those are my top 5 figures of 2021.

[@hassanrao470]

I forgot about Dino when I typed this but I’m not sure where I would rank him. He is definitely top 5 worthy

[@blimbam]

foc bruticus?

[@hassanrao470]

@@blimbam fall of cybertron

[@cobaltprime9467]

Kingdom Galvatron, and its comic variant, is God Tier engineering. It is so accurate to G1 it’s insane (Same with Cyclonus). I have both versions of it because I love the mold so much. My only complaint are the stickers on the G1 Comic one. I’m thinking of using metallic paint on the red and silver areas.

[@superbacon3374]

Dude I had number 15 when it came out. I had an absolute blast playing with it as a kid. I still have him though some of the pieces of the hover board are broken ( mainly the landing hook things) and the joint connectors are broken.

[@coryholden666]

One of my holy grails is the Sam's club yellow version of the '01 RID Prime. I was able to find the "cab" part so I can at least display it in the basic bot form. Also, as for cleaning the dust off, look into car interior detail brushes. I use one of those along with a roll of shop towels and an air compressor.

[@mrdomi8907]

Nice to see some bonkle representation, toa ignika was such a dope figure

[@bilal_H907]

I thought it was a trash bionicle figure as a kid because his mask isn't gold but i change my opinion about it because the design

[@GrarrlbrownVT]

1. Planet X Cacus (IDW Grimlock) - Hands down, my all time favorite figure of this year and my all time favorite Transformers figure. He's literally perfection and was well worth the money and wait. His T-rex mode is perfect and captures the IDW design FLAWLESSLY, the robot mode again, FLAWLESSLY capstures the IDW design. Articulation is stunning, quality is stunning the only thing I can say that isn't stunning about him is the severe lack of parts clearance between transformations. Planet X just keeps surprising me with just how much they have improved as a company from their FOC Dinobot days, very much looking forward for their IDW Sludge figure that was announced! 2. Unique Toys Dragoon - Like most if not all unique Toys figures, it is black magic incarnate. Dragoon is such a beautiful piece to look at but PAIN to transform because there is so much going on and the both modes are just so smooth and so clean to look at. Outside of the transformation, the only flaws are the lack of a waist swivel, wrist joints are weird and the legs are pretty loose. 3. GCreations Wrath (Movie Grimlock) - A figure that was shown 4 years ago and seemed to have disappeared but I am so so glad that they released him. Movie Wrath is my go to movie Grimlock figure. He's basically a statue with details just beautifully painted and the parts are very brittle. The thing that surprised me was just how HEAVY he was especially in T-rex mode where the majority of his very dense plastic and die cast metal parts kind of just form up at. Smaller than I was hoping for (especially at the $300 mark) but, he is a stunning chunky boy. 4. Studio 86 Grimlock - I was very blown away when I got this figure since I wasn't all that impressed with the mainline figures (POTP kinda burned me on those) and the mainline studio series weren't doing it for me. So I gave the line one last chance and wow, I am not disappointed at all! He's simple, fun, and very addictive to pick up and transform. 5. Kingdom Paleotrex - a figure that I picked up on an impulse because I am a paleontologist who studies tyrannosaurs and this figure brought me back to my childhood when I would play with Bionicles and make all sorts of crazy shapes and forms with them. The weapons you can make out of him really remind me of Monster Hunter (which I am a very big fan of).This has to be my personal favorite from the very disappointing Kingdom line and I now have the urge to find more Plaeotrexs and make some super cool monsters and weapons out of them.

[@davenipples]

Nice diverse list. I picked up an Armada Skywarp in November and I think that 2022 will definitely include more Unicron Trilogy bots for me. I will no doubt pick up some bots from Legacy for my main Generations display as well. 🙂

[@endman105]

Okay so my top 5 figures this year was, the Threezero Last Knight Megatron, amazing figure with excellent articulation for something that massive. Earth rise Scorponok, he's so much fun, best titan class figure to me. Seige Omega Supreme, he's a walking weapons platform and it looks amazing. Black Mamba Optimus Prime, holy crap that KO is oversized but is it a treat to the eye, might be selling it for the Threezero Optimus but he was still definitely top 5 figure for what it came with. And the Jiang Xing, Metal Beast, Beast Wars Megatron, cannot describe how amazing it is, robot mode excellent, dragon mode, spectacular. If you see this, btw amazing video and I love this top 20.

[@EJFreelancer]

For one, I wasn’t expecting to see a bionicle on this list. For two, I didn’t expect it to be one my little brother actually had when we were kids. I’m pretty sure it’s still in a box with our other 2000-2010 Transformers and bionicles. We used to use bionicles as protoforms for our transformers when we’d play.

[@coryholden666]

Hey, if you're still looking for a brush for removing dust, look into car interior detailing brushes. There may not be the "perfect" brush, but you should be able to find firm bristle brushes, soft bristle brushes, and everything in between.

[@bilal_H907]

Imo the best 2021 figure ever is kingdom airazor is have more reall life bird details tbh

[@UncannyEXP]

What I got this year isn't enough to rank, but I thoroughly enjoyed Earthrise Optimus Prime & Wheeljack, as well as Studio Series Starscream and Blitzwing from Bumblebee. Titans Return Octone was pretty fun to get too

[@BistoYeti]

Nice list. Iron Factory did a great job with that Magnus!

[@ryantheregularravensfan8151]

Great video...so my top 5 gets of 2021,from 1 to 5, are #1 DS Crimson Wings (Screamer), #2 Kingdom Rodimus, #3 TE Mirage, #4 X Transbots Locke, & #5 kingdom Tigatron...

[@ThatC0nGuy]

1. Earthrise Megatron Got this yesterday and i'm not dissapointed, worst than Siege but still awesome 2. Titans Return Overlord Is freaken Overlord.... 3. Core class Soundwave Tiny boi is decent....

[@stopclogg3902]

Merry Christmas dude

[@pisc77]

I'm happy that core class soundwave it's in your list s8nce for the m9ment it's my favorite toy

[@catpin]

If I get the NBK version of this that looks like Devastator Anna breaks then I'll fix it with Modge Podge

[@Alzeal07]

he's my top! though a bit late. 20 : MPM ironhide 19 : tlk Megatron leader 18 : classics fracture 17 : kingdom Galvatron 16 : binaltech Shockwave 15 : Cybertron Optimus 14 : rts Lugnut 13 : MPM Jazz 12 : igear Ironhide 11 : g2 Stars 10 : Optus Pexus 9 : g1 Jetfire 8 : kingdom rodimus 7 : g1 Cliffjumper 6 : badcube warpath 5 : Mp Soundwave 4 : g1 Overlord 3 : Autobot ark 2 : Hasbro Unicron 1 : Planet X Omega metallic version also I can't believe you put Energon optimus above rid2000 optimus 😂

[@Kobenomics]

A little unrelated but I just noticed I have the exact same shelves for my Transformers!

[@deang5386]

I still love my Hasbro MP Thundercracker

[@yusifer5719]

So kind of a long list and in no particular order buuuut.... MP-52+ Thundercracker MP-53 Skids Fanstoys Galvatron (Grail) Botcon 2008 Shattered Glass Megatron (Grail) Gen Selects Super Megatron SDCC Universe Nemesis Prime W/ Fansproject Shadow Commander Upgrade Maketoys IDW Tailgate w/ Reveal the Shield Cyclonus upgrade G1 Abominus Galaxy Force Vector Prime (Mocom version) Armada Optimus Prime (Small and big versions) Armada Galvatron Beast Wars Neo Encore Big Convoy MP-48 Lio Convoy DOTM Leader Jetwing Prime (Missing the jet pack lol) MP-13 Soundwave Classics Optimus Prime (MISB). Gen Selects Galvatron 2 Gen Selects God Neptune TFCC Sideburn Armada Blurr Planet X Coeus (FOC Shockwave) Netflix ER Prime Car Robots Gigatron (RID Megatron) TF Prime First Edition Dark Guard Optimus Prime Gen Selects Rotorstorm Armada Air Defense Minicon Team (Star Saber) Kingdom Rodimus SS86 Scourge Kingdom Cyclonus MP-12+ Sideswipe Kingdom TIgatron & Airrazor Lol Ima stop there. I need to reduce it down to a top 21 of 2021 list. SS86 Hot Rod woulda made this list but I got I'm the 28th of December last year. It's been a hell of a year collecting wise boys.

[@HazeBre3]

I have the NBK version of Gravity Buildier and like I remember the first time I was going into Devastator form that the Devastator head broke off on me with no force or anything. Had to buy another of the guy that has the head.

[@Tjadimax]

currently my favorite is er sky lynx, but sg jetfire is coming in a few days so that might take the top spot

[@UndeadAhead]

I never saw your review on newage magnus, thought I saw all of your reviews this year.

[@ThatToyGuy]

Haven't made one on him yet

[@UndeadAhead]

@@ThatToyGuy Oh, okay.

[@graystillplayssuperfan4886]

I got the NBK version and the only complaint I have is that for the combine mode hands, one of the hands came missing the pinky finger.

[@RecruitGamer395]

1: SS Blitzwing 2: Earthrise Optimus 3: SS 86 Hot Rod 4: Siege Shockwave 5: Earthrise Starscream

[@ludoletono]

Ah! Beef'a-mus Ambus takes the top spot. I told you this figure was a sleeper. It is my very favorite transforming toy I own, and now you know why.

[@eevee_pog7026]

I got studio 86 slug yesterday and he is now my tricerason.

[@mico4767]

1. Iron Factory IF-EX44 Ultra Magnus. Got him for 80 USD. 2. GCreation Fuuma. Very expensive and the transformation for some of the modes leave a lot to be desired, but overall an awesome MP-scaled Sixshot and definitely more visually appealing than Fans Toys Hydra (and cheaper!), since I got him for 150 USD. 3. Planet X Vulcun, Metallic ver. My first Grimlock toy ever, he'd rate higher if his legs didn't toe the line with breakage every time I transform him. 4. Shattered Glass Megatron. Not much to say about him other than he was well worth what I paid for (around 25 bucks) and has that clean off white look. 5. MMC Kultur. I vastly overpaid for a ten-step figure with just a few points of articulation and not much else for poseability. He looks super cool though.

[@thefandomchannel7900]

Heres my at least top 5 for this year. 5. Masterpiece MPM-5 Barricade 4. Kingdom leader class Galvatron purple version 3. Masterpiece MP-43 Beast Wars Megatron 2. Masterpiece MP-52 Starscream 3.0 1. Planet X Vulcan metallic version.

[@notfanmike]

Ok so... I just rememberd when you mentioned MP44, I FOUND IT. ON AMAZON, FOR 750 DOLLARS

10 Figures for me have been: 10. McFarlane Toys MK11 Spawn 9. WFC Siege Commander Jetfire 8. Golden Disk Jackpot 7. Studio Series 86 Grimlock 6. Generations Drift 5. Planet X Star Saber 4. McFarlane Toys Violater 3. McFarlane Toys The Suicide Squad Set 2. Revoltech Deadpool Honorable Mention. Super Action Statue Jotaro Kujo 1. Threezero Evangelion Eva Unit-1 This year was crazy for collecting and I can’t wait to see what 2022 has in store for all of us! Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays 💚🖤

[@ProtonTheProtogen]

Merry Christmas!

[@ascensionindustries9631]

Doesn't really count for transformers but the best "figure" I got was Bandai's RG EVA-00. Yea you have to build it but the inner frame construction and articulation is mind blowing for a snap together kit. That's all I got. Happy New Year Kids!

[@dophanlonglong7222]

Haha. Glad my favorite figure is at #1 too.

[@Manzinger-rd3zj]

My jimbao devastator costed me $300 on Amazon but it was on Christmas damn $140ish 😭 I got it 2 years ago

[@toddphillips7113]

side note this is from last year. but i'm telling you about it now. uh yeah when i first heard about naval commander (armada optimus prime) i was excited for it and so i waited and as more photos of it non painted came out i got even more excited for it and as more time passed and it finally got it's paint job i was really even more excited for it and when i saw the price for it $184 i was good with that because last year i had $300 in my wallet and i was ready to pay for that price but i decided to hold off because i wanted to hear about reviews and such and well as time went on my heart was broken as i heard it was going to be over $200+ because of a extra $50 shipping every toy website had it listed as that even showzstore had it listed as that and i didn't want to pay for a $200 toy because if i did i wouldn't hardly have anything left in my wallet i wanted to spend half and leave half and i got more bad news about naval commander that it was breaking and falling apart in places that it shouldn't and breaking my heart even more and i felt really bad for the company that made that for them to get bad news for it,all of that hard work for nothing and so i looked for something else and i found earthrise scorponok for $160 with free shipping and so i put a order for that and i love it,because for years i was jealous of people having three foot robots and now i finally have one and the next thing i know three upgrade kits were made for it,i need to put orders for those. rip naval commander (armada optimus prime)

[@coolerreviews6580]

Here’s my top nine figures: 9.SS Stinger He’s an ok figure,transformation was ok but mine was fidly,but I still like it 8.SS Jolt He’s awesome tbh,but because of the QC issues I’ve been trying to be very careful 7.SS roft Bumblebee Care mode is better than the 2007 one,however mine doesn’t like to tan in perfectly,but it’s my favorite Bumblebee mold so far 6.Kingdom Optimus Primal He’s good,the posing is great,the transformation is great,he looks good and the gorilla mode,or as I like to call it,monke mode is good too. 5.SS Sweep He’s sort of to me like a back up mold if you couldn’t by SS Scourge,however my pivot doesn’t work,it just poops back up 4.Kingdom Cyclones and SS Hot rod Let’s start with Cyclones,he’s good,he’s very accurate to his on screen model and very articulated,however,he’s “too plain” to me.Hot Rod is really fun,he’s super durable and very articulated,and I’m a huge Hot Rod fan,the car mode is also sick 3.SS Grindor He’s big,he’s almighty,he’s also just Blackout with a different color skin,and my favorite part,he has wrist swivel,papa Jobby would be proud.his transformation sucks,not like lift ticket or MPM Starscream bad,but still wobbly 2.Kingdom ultra magnus That’s it,he’s so fun,I love him,that is all 1.Kingdom Rodimus Prime Oh.My.God.This figure is extremely fun and very good feeling,he’s super articulated,very dynamic,engineering is brilliant and fun,and I’m gales I got this,I was trying to get it earlier before this day but the prices were like 300$(I kid you not)so I patiently waited and couldn’t find anything,until I went to a store in my country named More than Toys and I went to pick up an ultra magnus,and I turned to the left and I saw this bad boy at 60$.Now I would be a fool to not take the offer. This is my list,and if you’d like tell me your list.Merry Christmas everyone!!!

[@SwedishSeacon]

Like last year I got some really good figures and this year so some characters are gonna have to share a list spot since I have enjoyed them A LOT. So my top 10 figures from this year is (I am also gonna post on my Transformers instagram profile): 10. Energon Constructicon Maximus 9. Earthrise Doubledealer 8.

[@yusifer5719]

hue, i got Big Convoy and Gigatron this year as well

[@_V.Va_]

For me it's 1. DLX BB Optimus Prime. 2. DLX ROTF Optimus Prime. 3. MPM Ratchet. 4. MPM Bumblbee(Camaro) 5. MPM Jazz 6..MPM Optimus Prime(Peterbilt) 7. MPM Ironhide(but because Upgrade Kits are installed) 8. Kingdom Magnus 9. Unique Toys Challenger. 10. Unique Toys Galvatron. 11. Unique Toys/DX9 Not Rod. 12. UT Dragoon KO. 13. New Age Soundwave. 14. MPM Barricade. 15. MPM Starscream. 16. MPM Megatron. 17. APC Toys TFP Optimus Prime. 18. MPM Bumblebee (Volkswagen) yeah it's not accurate but it's fun. 19. TE-01 OP Leader. 20. BB Voyager Optimus Prime. None of this is in order, just figures that I really like. There are more that I really like but here are ones I REALLY like.
