These two and Wheeljack/Tracks

Agreed. Further, the haters don't know the joy of how well-built TF was before 2014. Sure, the articulation wasn't fully there, but materials were far superior, and the engineering was fun, and imaginative, with convincing alt modes being way more important than today. Oh, and no hollows and gaps!

Those still are my chug representation of those characters

Yeah, that's not an understatement at all. Wasn't this an early instance of pretooling a new head?

I mean, it goes beyond that. It was designed from the ground up to be two distinctly different-looking characters just by transforming it a little differently and swapping some parts around in assembly. Extremely clever pre-planning.

Oh yeah. I'm understating very much. It's an amazing mold and I still have my original from 2008 in a place of prominence

I’d put Siege Sideswipe in the same category as well. It marks a massive shift in the design philosophy of the line.

Siege Swipe isn't as cleverly versatile as the other one, but they sure did make incredibly good and extensive use of it. Very solid toy.
