I like Freeza's final form, before he goes 100 percent and becomes far too muscley. It's smooth and elegant and really quite beautiful.

I like first-form Cell. It's a bit monstrous, so it sticks out amongst some of Toriyama's later designs.

Janemba all the way. He is so fucking epic in every way and meaning. And I like Mira a lot too.

In no particular order: first-form Cell, third-form Freeza, final-form Freeza, Mecha Freeza, Beerus, General Blue, Dr Uiro's big-ass robot body, final-form Coola and both Janembas.

#19 and #20 are great, they're very creepy and sinister looking. I'd like to see what Toriyama had planned to do with them before his editor had him replace them with 17/18 and Cell.

I think all of Cell's forms are my favorite designs. It really conveyed that gross bug-monster feel, and it also showed a neat evolution between his forms.

Not listing these in order; they are all awesome:

- Cooler (Final Form)
- Frieza (Final Form)
- Janemba (2nd Form)
- Imperfect Cell

I echo Janemba with everyone else. Great bad guy, that one.

I don't get the love for Freeza's final form...out of all his forms that one looked the most plain and bland. I would of liked to see him spend more time in his second and third forms.

Sticking strictly to the Boos:

Kid Boo is far and away the best, since his lock of tentacle (?) is properly proportioned to his body.

Gotenks/Piccolo/Gohan Boo comes next, since he looks like Legend's Lord of Darkness with a mammoth phallic stalk instead of horns. Scary as hell, but also overcompensating for something.

Super Boo lacks a nose and length in the tentacle.

Fat Boo ranks last because of that unbecoming pouch in his belly. I prefer my loveable fat characters to be ball-shaped.
