If you had to pick one only, what transformer would you most want to be at your side in a fight and why ?

I was looking at some transformers that never got enough air time or no air time at all , and I was wondering which ones would make good characters in the Transformers show? I mean after rebirth IF they kept the transformers going, who do you think would have been a good character?

This topic has surely been done dozens of times but I was just curious to see which show is your favorite. My favorite is Beast Wars with G1 and Beast Machines coming in 2nd and third. Here is why I like Beast Wars so much (in no particular order): 1 The characters were well developed. In G1 we had distinct personalities but there was not really enough time to develop everyone of them. In Beast Wars there was a small cast allowing every character to be well developed. 2 The characters were pretty cool on top of that. Best characters seen in a Transformers show. Rattrap, my favorite for example is a chronic complainer but also one who actually took charge an…

This is just an interesting idea I came up with just now, so here we go... Optimus Prime -- Zeus Megatron -- Ares Soundwave -- Hades Blurr -- Hermes Seaspray -- Poseidon (MWA, HA, HA!) Hmm...I dunno. Sorta stuck right now, but you get the general idea.

This is inspired by Werewulf's post in TFTD. Of the different types of Pretenders, and how they were portrayed (I guess there are only 2) in the US comics vs Masterforce. In the comics, the Pretender shells were HUGE! Skullgrin was gigantic, as well as those other ones that climbed the Empire State Building. The robots were also pretty large, and the Pretender shells were basically invincible except for when Starscream in his Underbase change up was able to destroy them. The Autobot Pretenders were also very large, so they did not use mass-shifting to disguise themselves as humans. Landmine had gone to a space station and the humans were gigantic, and it sti…

Note that I'm not asking which is bigger, something can be smaller and still more in scale than its larger counterpart. So which version is more into scale with the other mainline autobot toys, the voyager or the leader?

I'm not keen on getting multiple versions of any of the movie characters, so I'd like some advice on which figures you think are the best for each of the movie characters. Here is my current movie wish list based on which figures I perceive as the best for each character... Optimus Prime: Leader Class, Wave 1 Jazz: Deluxe Class, Wave 1 Ironhide: Voyager Class, Wave ? Ratchet: Voyager Class, Wave 1 Bumblebee: Deluxe Class, ??Wave 1?? <--I've been hearing problems about the weakness of the automorphing gimmick in the 74 Camaro version and I'm not interested in getting Ultimate Bumblebee either (prohibitive pricetag aside, he's horrendously out of scale with t…

me goes with dreamwave
