    As for the best I would have to say the 25th anniversary Optimus Prime (Masterpiece in Japan). It's 12 inches tall with great articulation and is very faithful to the comics/toon version of the G1 Prime. This think is also mostly diecast metal so he is a bit heavy. I really didn't like the Transformers Armada version of Prime, he was far too bulky and he had huge plastic tires.

        But which one!

        I'm going with Dragun because we will never again see the likes of the eye-taking-out majesty of that star launcher and axe throwing arm.

          Godaikin's Large Diecast Tetsujin 28 is considered by many to be one of the finest Robots ever made.

            The terminator is the best robot ever done. Best Toy of it would be the Toy Island because they were cheap and I had them tear up the other 3.75 inch figures.

            Worst.

            Hmm. I had a Tobor as a kid that was pretty lame.

              Loved my Toy Island Large sized Terminator.


              My only regret was that it was not in scale with the Kenner Arnie.


              My favourite Goidaikin was Gardian.

              Three robots and a rubber figure recessed inside each other like Russian Nesting Dolls.
              Loved the Anime as a kid as well.

                My favorite is also Masterpiece Prime.

                My other favorite is the Japanese version of Smokescreen that came out last year.



                The worst robots are pretty much anything from the Micheal Bay Transformers. They're so ugly and they have so many little parts you don't know what you're looking at.

                  1/55 scale Strike Valyrie from Macross (aka Jetfire in transformers) but it has this massive cannon on the jet pack

                  worst - excluding cheapo dollar store knockoffs and toys from vending machines, Micronauts Biotron (which on a mego board is blasphemy I know)

                    Hmmmm.... tough call. You could actually AIM Mazinga's rockets.... but Daimos had the most potent toy wrecking rocket punch....
