I hate that pointing arm, but it's effing Optimus Prime.

Big Pappy Prime! Ventress looks like she's waving a plane in for landing.

The pointing arm looks great though, you just have to turn his head to be looking where he's pointing. Then it's like he's in the movie, all calling out Megatron. Unlike other branches of this line, some of the Robot Heroes have heads that move, and a handful of them require that to make their poses work.

Prime. Asajj would have made for better competition, but that head sculpt is lame.

Prime. Asajj would have made for better competition, but that head sculpt is lame.

The whole character is lame! I freaking hate her.

I'll go with Optimus "Pull My Finger" Prime, bringing new meaning to the word 'Skidmark.'

I take it Asaaj is from Star Wars? Regardless, the ventress sucks and so does that scuplt of OP. But OP gets my vote.

[BaltanII]

Are people just voting on the characters?

No. Asajj has a very well-sculpted body, and it actually looks feminine. She definitely gets points for that. However, the only flaw I find with Prime is the pointing arm, and as Scummy pointed out, the articulation helps to make it more useful. The flaw on Ventress is bigger and harder to do anything about - her head. She looks like Professor X with makeup. No expressive facial detail, nothing about the head that actually makes her look female, and boring in detail. She's not a horrible Galactic Hero, but not good enough to beat Prime with that noggin.

I voted Ventress, she is a pretty cool figure. Both sabers are articulated for different action poses and playability. The overall figure itself is cool looking. I dont particularly like the purple things around her mouth, otherwise the paint sculpt is awesome (body, detail on head etc..).

Optimus, sure, I agree it is OP, but the figure is gay. If he was holding up a Fist of Fury, rather than pointing at something then maybe, but I still would have probably voted Ventress.

I'm eating meatloaf.

I unfortunately own the Ventress figure, got it and a few others in a lot of figs I bought. I hate it, but until I am able to rid myself of it's unpleasantness it will sit on a shelf in my room. I think ugly figures help make your other figures look better when you put them beside them.

But I have to agree a little, the body sculpt is decent for the characterization, but I disagree about the head. The head is terribly sculpted. It's sort of like a painted ball of putty. Nothing about the sculpt emits the evilness of the character. It looks like she is bored as well as chewable.

Optimus gets my vote, not just cause of the character, but the likeness is very well done, and I actually find the stance very appealing to me personally. It shows his leadership, stand him in the front lines pointing to the Decepticons and have all the other action posed autobots running in behind him ready to Transform and Rollout.

I'm also going to gang up on Veers and say that the Ventress sculpt leaves much to be desired. If her face were more angular like in the Clone Wars cartoon, it might help.

I also don't really like the costume. Like most Expanded Universe figures, it doesn't look Star Warsy.

I actually really like the Prime figure, pointed finger and all. It looks like he's either barking out orders to Autobots, or tattling on someone. "Bumblebee did it!"

I like Primes detailing, too. And the blaster helps. So, Prime gets my vote.

[SpectreSuperSix5]

Are people just voting on the characters?

In this particular instance, I did. It's only because my hatred for her is so great though. If she were on fire, I wouldn't pee on her to put it out.

[doc_moore_j]

lol SSS5 why do you hate her so much?

[Ericnilla]

i dont see these as playable since they arent posable, so optimus prime just looks cooler in my opinion. i voted him.

[Scumdogg]

In every comic or cartoon she's either sulking or grimacing – here she's somewhere in between.

So she's every Star Wars character ever then?

[meatcutta78]

I like both of these figures,This was one of the hardest match-ups for me so far.

Otimus Prime
It was very hard for me to find a flaw in this figure. I really love his pose and color scheme,but what I really love the most about him is how they kept his size just right, normally with these types of figures they tend to over exaggerate the torso,legs,head etc.

Ventress
I love her pose and how she is holding her sabers. the one thing I don't like about her is how they didn't put much detail in her face.
They should of had her in some form of battle cry.

This was a really hard vote!,but in the end.Optimus wins by an inch.

I dunno. I can stomach jar jar (barely) but I want to run her down with a loaded tractor trailer. I think she's a worthless character and they could've come up with something, anything better for a sith apprentice. I've seen LOLcats that would've been better suited for the role.

Winner:
#4 - Optimus Prime

Booyah!
