Smokescreen
Sideswipe
Silverstreak
Hound
Dead End
Tracks
Meister (white/red)

No more than one figure per mold. Serious recommendations only, I'm actually going to follow the voting. :D

Dead End (I have Sideswipe, and he's awesome, but Decepticons are rarer and cooler), Ravage (Tracks remold will be BT-11--may be convention exclusive in US), and Silverstreak.

Dead End is quite popular around here I see. You do know that you've posted them in binaltech numbers eh?

I'd recommend blue tracks [comes out this month], red meister and dead end. If you could buy four, then I'd also add silverstreak.

Only three?

- Silverstreak (improvement over SMokescreen, and since Smokescreen GT isn't going to be released as an Alternator...)
- Dead End (better color scheme than Side Swipe, plus the roof...)
- Meister (my favorite so far, despite the right arm's tendency to pop off)

I'm not that interested in cars as altmodes.To be honest I'm more interested getting my hands on the BW molds I'm still missing or for example E Shockblast. But as I got a chance to get these at a reasonable price, I want to see if these are so well done toys as almost everyone keeps saying. Plus I'm interested seeing the engineering first hand. :)

Ignore any suggestions to buy Tracks unless you have a lot of free cash floating round or are a completeist.

I don't have enough to choose from to recommend three. :(

Sideswipe is nice, though...

Smokescreen 1
Sideswipe 1
Silverstreak 6
Hound 7
Dead End 6
Tracks 5
Meister 10

It seems Meister is a clear favourite around here. A bit for my surprise Hound got second, not that I mind as it seems to have a more unique transformation.

Dead End and Silverstreak got the same amount of votes. What I've read, is that Smokescreen/Silverstreak mold has a very similar transformation as Meister. So as I'm interested in the transformation mechanisms, I'll go for Dead End.

Thanks for the input people. :)
