What is your favorite Vegeta character design?

[Yokurama]

We all know of the stages that Vegeta went through during the series, changing drastically in appearance from one saga to another. Here they are...

Vintage Vegeta: Vegeta as we first saw him. He had big, brownish-red hair, short limbs, and would have looked like a little kid if not for the widow's peak.

Vegeta's Arrival on Earth: Upon landing, Vegeta looked a little bit different. His hair was now black, and his face had more lines, making him look a little bit older. His hair still had a puffy, big look.

Vegeta VS Goku: By the time Vegeta's fight with Goku began, he had changed a little. His hair was a bit less like a spiky afro (hehe...) and his limbs were slightly longer.

Oozaru Vegeta: A big, angry, monkey Vegeta...

Freeza Saga Vegeta: Through the Freeza saga, Vegeta continued to change. His hair completely lost the poofy, big look it had once had, becoming very clearly shaped. His limbs continued to grow longer, and his body became more proportionate. He was still very small though, with Kuririn coming up to about his shoulders. He face was incredibly expressive, unique, dramatic... I suppose you can guess which design was my favorite...

Interim Vegeta: Vegeta from the time he was wished back to life, to episode 124 (where Bulma's feelings for him start to emerge). Here Vegeta rapidly changed, almost completely losing his child-sized body, and becoming more adult looking. He became much taller than Kuririn.

Early Cell Saga Vegeta: He was still a bit on the small side, but had now achieved SSJ, and had a completely different face from what he had had before, becoming sharper edged and less (IMnot-soHO) expressive.

Late Cell Saga: Steroids! What they can do for you! Apparently, Bulma had been giving Vegeta growth hormones, and the little bugger showed it. He had gone from looking like he was no bigger than an 8 year-old, to having muscles on top of muscles. When he fought Cell, he looked like just having one of those muscles pinched would have had him rolling in agony on the ground. Veins bulging, tight bodysuit, and biceps bigger than his head are what best describe this version of Vegeta.

Tenkaichi Budoukai Vegeta: Our little Prince from the beginning of the Buu saga, to his fight on Bibidi's spaceship. Apparently, Vegeta had laid off the steroids for a while, and his muscles had shrunk a bit. He had lost the armor by this point, preferring just the bodysuit. He had a slimmer waist, and a rather limited range of expressions (serious, angry, and suprised).

Majin Vegeta: Back to muscles! Here we get a glimpse of a psychotic Vegeta, veins bulging and a big fat M on his forehead. His hair, oddly, was shorter than before, and his limbs were longer. Later, in his last few episodes, he calmed down and gave one of the best death scenes of the series.

Vegeta Back From the Underworld: He changed again. Still muscular, but not nearly as much as before. His face became... different. Not quite sure how to describe the changes in this one...

Epilogue Vegeta: The last three episodes of Z... Vegeta's personality had changed drastically by this time, lacking any of his old evil self. His design changed a bit, his face was more peaceful and friendly, and his style of dress had changed (no more bodysuit).

Early GT Vegeta: Somebody hated Vegeta... They chopped off his HAIR! His TRADEMARK! All gone! A flat top? Who the heck came up with that!? A moustache? *gags*

Late GT Vegeta: Almost as bad as before... Vegeta became an old punk. Tight pants, muscle shirts, fingerless gloves, leather jackets... His hair wasn't as... flat as before, gaining a little bit of spike to it. Awful...

Bebi Vegeta: After Bebi took control of Vegeta, the body began to change. His hair became white, and what progressed was one of the ugliest transformations of the series...

GT Oozaru Vegeta: Even his Oozaru design changed... The forearms were bigger than before, and his fur became spikier. His upper body was much bigger than his bottom half.

SSJ 4 Vegeta: Yucko! Red fur, tight pants, red eyeliner... Obviously, some character designer really hated Vegeta (and Goku, for that matter).

On a side note, has anyone else noticed the way Vegeta sheds bits of his armor from one saga to the next, almost symbolizing him shedding his old, evil identity and bursting forth anew? In each saga, he loses a bit of his old self, and changes slightly for the better. By the end of Z, his only relic of what he once was is his gloves... Interesting...

I like the freeza's saga Vegeta when he fight with him and he is looking very powerful in it.
