I liked the animation in the Food Fighters commercial. One of the few lines I can think of where the commercial really made me want to get the toys.

Yes!
Admittedly, Food Fighters was the first one that came to mind for me, but iwao was too quick on the draw.
So here's Army Ants. This commercial made it absolutely imperative that 4-year-old me get these toys. A catchy jingle goes a long way!
edit: forgot to say Yes!

The Crossfire commercial had a great catchy theme and lots of fire. For me that makes for a perfect toy commercial:

Go-bots had a special charm to them, and we're an addiction of mine as a kid.

All these stop animation commercials... I seem to remember as a kid hearing about Go-Bots losing a lawsuit because their toys didn't really transforms and move about by themselves thus misleading the customer. But watching these other commercials like Army Ants and Food Fighters reminds me of how many other toy companies did the same sort of thinG!
PF!

The Crossfire commercial
I think this might be my favorite commercial of all time. The song is amazingly bad and that kid at the end pumping his fist and going, "Yeah! Yeah!" was classic.Not to mention that they inexplicably enter the arena on hoverboards.
I had a few rock lords from the go-bots line and at the time had no idea what they were from.
Yeah I still have a bunch of Rock Lords too and I didn't know until like a year ago that they were a GoBots spinoff. Same thing with a larger pull-back type vehicle I posted in the ID thread a few months back; turns out it was GoBot as well.
It's like the design guys at Tonka were suffering from multiple personality disorder.

I still find myself singing "Crossfire! CROSSFIIIIIRE!!!" to myself at random moments even now. I never did play the actual game though.

Oui.
Simply because not only was Sgt. Savage an awesome toy line that needed more love but it came with a VHS! So much cooler than anything that comes with dvds now.

I've been waiting for someone to post the Micro Machines commercial. I used to think about my strategy for attacking a Super Toy Run all the time.
