My vote goes to Soundwave.
http://www.thissoundsgood.com/images...ve-cropped.gif
Springer, hands down.
"I've got better things to do tonight than die."
Devastator
The Chosen One, Rodimus Prime.
The one that turned into a silver pistol. Whatever his name was.
Megatron was my first action figure so my vote goes to him. Plus hes so paranoid and psycho in the comics its funny. Hes strong too... one comic he took out the Predicons with a tree. Second place for me would be Omega Supreme.
Despite how kick ass Six Shot was, my favorite will always be my 1st Transformer, Jazz.
Soundwave is my favorite. Although he transformed into something as strange as a tape recorder, he was still a very powerful fighter.
Also Soundwave.
Autobot goes to Prowl or Sideswipe.
Question for the transformer fans.
Way back when they first came out, they'd do little offers where you could mail in proof's of purchase with a little loot and get TF's that weren't sold in stores. Mail order w/ proofs only. I have one that came this way, it's a little black sports car, kinda looks like a 2nd generation RX-7. The hatch back flips back to expose the head, hood becomes the feet, doors swing out to become arms. On the bottom is the date 1986.
Is this thing rare and what was it's name if anyone knows of it.
Megatron
-Hands down one of the best villians ever around, he was just so bad ass back in the day plus he took out Prime with no hesitation, I cheered when he did that:buttrock:
BUMBLEBEE!!!!!!
Soundwave, of course.
MEGA TRON of course...
but I thought DesZaras (at least in Robot form)
was also pretty bad ass indeed.
Amongst all of the jet fighter aircraft though
I always thought that Sky Warp was the
coolest.
I wasn't really big on the Autobot/Cybertron
designs even as a kid, though I'd have to say
that Grimlock was bad ass though originally a
Destron/Decepticon iirc.
Are we talking toys or animated? As far as toys go it'd be Omega Supreme , Skids or Victory Saber for me. Animated I'm not so sure on...but it'd probably be Ironhide, Prime's right hand man.
Jetfire - Always loved this guy even though he would get himself lost every now and then. The Valkyrie toy was pretty sweet too.
Star Scream is another favorite. Can't forget that voice(Cobra Commander).
"As Megatron as how shall we say...departed. I nominate myself as the new leader."
Omega Supreme, anyone?
Also Shockwave for an Autobot/Decepticon tie. Yeah- Shockwave was the cat's meow.
shockwave - easily!
i wonder what happens if one was to press the button?
prime for the autobots and starscream for the decepticons

Megatron all the way!
I wore a black t-shirt with Megatron on the front when I was 8 years old. I need to post a pic of it someday soon. :cool: :cool:
A tie between Jazz and Starscream. :D
Sounds like you just described Camshaft. He was part of the "Omnibot" trio thatQuote:

if you buy it online, be prepared to pay anywhere from 15 to 45 bucks for Camshaft
or his kin, complete w/ accessories.
There are far more Omnibots in circulation these days, whereas mailaway
Decepticons such as Reflector(the camera combiner trio) tend to command
a far higher asking price. I used to have a boxed Camera Robo, the JP
counterpart of Reflector. It was nifty insofar as a display piece but
I don't regret selling it. The late 90's were a crazy period of price
speculation on many TF characters' toys, especially '98 IIRC.
Back OT, the Autobot "Sunstreaker" is my pick on the basis
of him being the initial TF I remember having as a kid. I still
remember selecting him from the shelves at Lionel Kiddie City.
I'm assuming this was around 1985...?
Shockwave
hot rod!!!
"this is the end of the road megatron" morphs in to rodimus, throws megatron
the fuckoutta unicron's head. toy-wise, i would say optimus, the best looking
transformed robot. perceptor is also one of my favorites. megatron is the ugliest,
reminds me of a deformed troll.
Optimus Prime for sure, tho Double Dealer is the best TF toy.
Shockwave gotta be up there, some of the TF's that played a supporting role like him are among the most interesting......Jetfire too (was he actually called this in the series, the guy that was found in the ice.....? such cheap skatenss for using a Macross toy in the TF line up for lame).
Skyfire.Quote:

I was always in awe when they showed scenes on cybertron, few & far between in the early days.
BY THE SPIRES OF IACON!
Fave?
Probably Unicron, simply for THIS.
Other faves include Blaster and Thundercracker/Skywarp, especially the original 'pyramid' jets on Cybertron.
my fav. is megatron...
I drive a 1973 yellow VW beetle because he was my favorite autobot as a kid. I am talking about the entire Transformer universe, not just the original show. My favorite Beast Wars charcters were:Quote:

Wheeljack who turned into a Lancia Stratos.

That was so badass, and even 20 years since it was made, that movie still kicks more ass than anything pixar or disney is pumping out.Quote:

Another vote for Megatron.
His Nuclear Fusion Cannon was simply too bad ass and in toy form, was half his size.
Simply the best villain and I always wished there was some kind of space/time storyline in which he would have battled his future self, Galvatron.
Seeing him defeat his crazy future ass would have been the best.
This thread should have had a poll.
All time:
Autobots:
Optimus Prime (all incarnations), Mirage, Prowl, Ultra Magnus, Superion
Decepticons:
Megatron/Galvatron (all incarnations), Skywarp, Predaking, Shockwave, Cyclonus
Maximals:
Lio Convoy, Big Convoy, Rinox, Rattrap, Dinobot
Predacons:
Megatorn, Magmatron, Waspinator, Rampage,
There's no way I can pick just one favorite.
I said we're going to need a little energon and a lot of luck the other night.
You've got the touch dun dun dun dun
you've got the pooooowwwer.....YEAH
ps Astrotrain motherfuckers
with Kup in a close second.
You can't choose a single right answer for this question. Because of the cartoons, there's just too many great ones, Optimus Prime, Megatron, Starscream, Soundwave, Jazz, Ironhide, Wheeljack, etc. etc., even though some of the toys were terrible (Ironhide and Ratchet were vans, and their "heads" were windshields).
About the only wrong answer is Hot Rod/Rodimus Prime, because that whole movie fiasco was total crap. Real heroes never die.
Either BigMcLargeHuge or Wacky Waving Inflatable Arm Flailing Tube Man
O so hard to chose. From the show I'd have to say Soundwave and Ironhide though Ironhide's toy did suck ass.
haha! a man who knows his MST3000Quote:

iirc, in the second editions of the European TF series, Megaton and Galvatron teamed up. I'm shure those egos fought from time-to-time-- but I'm not shure if it ever really happened since I've never gotten a hold of more than 2 EU comics.Quote:

My favorite Transformer? Hard to name just one. I liked Blurr, Blaster, and Proceptor on the Autobot side. My favorite Decepticons were Rumble and Frenzy, even if they were just Soundwave's subordinates. They could still do major damage--despite their size.

Found it.
Looking at that site, I can't imagine what kinda collection I'd have if I'd of left them all in the box.
Starscream
Cartoon Bio (US):
Starscream's intelligence and skill assured him the postition of second-in-command of the Decepticons. His agility and speed made him the Air Commander. Despite (or more likely as a result of) possessing so many talents, he was very insolent and sought to replace Megatron as leader.
Starscream was able to transform into an F-15 jet, and was the fastest flyer, as well as a high-ranking warrior. Despite all of his abilities, he was not always looked upon very favorably by his fellow Decepticons. They followed his orders, but believed him to be quite cowardly, demanding, and an ineffective commander. Starscream, however, merely believed the others envied his superiority. The thoughts of his comrades were also shared by Megatron, who especially resented Starscream's rebelliousness and belief that he would one day be the leader. Yet Megatron appreciated having a scapegoat around on whom to blame if things went wrong, and he also had to acknowledge that despite all his faults, Starscream was valuable to the Decepticon cause.
Starscream's origin is traced back to when he was a scientist and explorer from Cybertron. While on a mission with his fellow scientist and friend Skyfire to chart what was then a newly discovered planet--Earth--Skyfire was lost. After searching for him in vain, Starscream returned to Cybertron. Shortly thereafter he joined the Decepticons.
The Decepticons left Cybertron following the Autobots, and crashed into Earth. While departing the Ark and leaving the Autobots for dead, Starscream fired upon the ship, unwittingly causing them to be reactivated.
Some time later, the Decepticons discovered a strange robot frozen in the ice. It turned out to be Starscream's old friend Skyfire. At Starscream's urging, he was reactivated and incorporated into the Decepticons. However, Skyfire was not pleased with being a Decepticon, so he allied with the Autobots, an action that Starscream considered to be traitorous. Therefore, the old friends became enemies.
After Megatron tried to escape the Earth and his starship exploded, Starscream believed he was finally rid of him and proclaimed himself Decepticon leader. He allied himself with the Decepticon sympathizer Dr. Archevil and connected an exponential generator to a timer in the doctor's lab. This, he hoped, would destroy the Earth. Starscream then traveled to Cybertron to await the released energy and collect it. However, his plan was foiled by Megatron, who turned out to be alive and able to fire his bomb far away from Earth. A distressed Starscream returned to Earth to find out what went wrong, and was shocked to discover that Megatron lived and that his transient leadership was over. Despite that incident, Starscream was accepted back into the ranks of the Decepticons.
Perhaps Starscream's greatest legacy and contribution was that he created an awesome and powerful army that swelled the ranks of the Decepticons and helped them immeasurably--the Combaticons. That grand endeavor was conceived by Starscream while he was in exile. He had tested Megatron's patience to the limit, and was banished to a remote island. There he discovered the remains of several World War II vehicles. The brilliant idea came to him of creating them into his own forces. So he traveled to Cybertron and stole five personality components to install into the vehicles, thus recreating them into his personal army, to use against Megatron. Megatron discovered this and battled Starscream and his troops. They proved to be excellent warriors and combined to form the gestalt Bruticus. However, they were eventually defeated and all were banished to an asteroid.
The Combaticons proved to be just as rebellious as their creator, and resented Starscream. He couldn't stand them either and fled, while the vengeful Combaticons traveled to Cybertron to plot against all who they believed caused them harm. Starscream traveled to Cybertron as well, and was imprisoned along with Shockwave by the Combaticons. Megatron arrived on Cybertron and freed the two. He accepted Starscream back in the Decepticons, for his help was needed to stop the out-of-control Bruticus. Starscream volunteered the information on Bruticus's weak points and he was brought back under control--Megatron's control.
In 2005, after the great battle of Autobot City on Earth, the Decepticons retreated into Astrotrain. At Astrotrain's request to jettison some weight, Starscream suggested that the injured should be expelled. Along with several Seekers and Insecticons, Starscream himself expelled a damaged but still operational Megatron and declared himself to be the leader of the Decepticons. During his coronation, Megatron returned in the form of Galvatron and killed Starscream.
In 2006, Starscream returned as a ghost. He was inadvertently freed from his remains by the Decepticon Octane. He possessed Cyclonus and plotted revenge against Galvatron. He was discovered by Galvatron, though, and left Cyclonus's body to possess Scourge. Through the body of Scourge, Starscream reactivated Unicron's head. Unicron agreed to give Starscream a body in exchange for completing three tasks. First, he had to steal Metroplex's eyes. He did so, but one was broken in the process, so he went and stole one of Trypticon's. The second task involved stealing Trypticon and he did that as well. The third and final task was to connect Unicron to Cybertron. Starscream possessed Trypticon to do it, but was forced out of him before Unicron was connected. He couldn't finish the job without a body, so Unicron restored him to life. However, Starscream didn't keep his promise and double-crossed Unicron, telling him to finish the task himself. His joy at having a body again was short-lived. He encountered the enraged Galvatron, who blasted him (albeit non-fatally this time). Starscream was last seen adrift through space.
Beast Wars Addendum:
Somehow, during his stint as a ghost, Starscream met up with a group of Beast Wars Predacons who were stranded on a planet. Having seen a weakness in the Maximal base, he possessed Waspinator's body and offered his services to the Predacon commander, coincidentally named Megatron (Megatron II). Starscream lied about his demise, saying that he was killed by Unicron while defending Galvatron. Megatron II accepted him, and Starscream's plan worked perfectly. However, Maximal leader Optimus Primal was able to retake the base, and Starscream's retreat made him the enemy of Blackarachnia, whom he left behind. Between Blackarachnia and Primal, Waspinator's body was shattered in an energon explosion and Starscream's ghost (referred to as a "spark" by the Beast Warriors) was sent flying out into space.
