Oooooh, that's a hard one, but an excellent question. Give me a few as I have so many memories, reasons and moments with each of them. As I've said many times before, Prime figures are why I now have a room full of Transformers and in that room they have the most exalted shelf to themselves.
I agree, Prime was the first line I went completionist on (other than movies).
It is hard to narrow it down from all those toys, there are some really good ones. BH Wheeljack, Sharkticon Megatron, the Vehicon, BH Magnus, all really good toys
A lot of it for me is the fond memories and then the toys are just so damn good. Even when you compare FE vs standard retail, each has their own strong points. I also forgot about BH figures - fudge......

Probably Wheeljack. And more specifically the Dark Energon one. Because I'm a dirty whore for translucent plastic. I just really like the character design. The transformation is quick, smooth, and intuitive. and, SWORDS!!!
Second would probably be Knock Out. Love his tight little transformation, and both modes are neat. Of course him being repurposed into
Bluestreak Bloddy Knock Out doesn't hurt.
Prime really never struck deep with me. Came in a time of my life where great change was happening and that's where my focus fell. That being said my most favorite toys from Prime were Cyberverse (the original use of the name). Those are some toys I will never consider selling off.
Ah yes WJ is good and I have both version of the mold. He was one of my first if not first, either him or CliffyJ (standard).
I never got too deep into the Cyberverse figures, but BH Bulkhead is an awesome little robo viking. The deluxe BH Bulk is cool as well. Not sure if you guys remember my post apocalyptic team that consisted mostly of BH figures
Dark Energon Megs is my default Megatron (because of hindsight costs) and I have DE Starscream. Fortunately I was able to resist the puff form that rock candy pipe.
With that said I'm going to go with my fav as FE Starscream. I loved the Prime version of that character, not that it was a huge departure, but he just seems so much more twisted and conniving. The FE figure is a near perfect representation of the on screen character and a fun toy to boot. Of all the Prime figures, that's the one I grab the most (well that one or the DE version).
I was also lucky enough to pick that figure up from Ross for $8. I hemmed and hawed on the Voyager, but I could just never pull the trigger.

OM never appealed to me, but I did get the cyberverse figure and it's pretty cool. I have WJ's Jackhammer at a legends scale. I still haven't figure out a good way to display it though. I'd love to pull off some type of forced perspective thing, but just haven't taken the time to try and figure it out.
So D, what's your one favorite and why?
