The Wikkid figure was actually released as a short run lucky draw in Japan, as a promotion for the SuperPowerGalaxyFireStormMegaMicroForce show, and he was a Destron, but had to be piloted by a Cybertron. Teh toy was also recalled due to a mistake in teh mold, causing it's electronic sounds to be replaced with a childish voice that corrected kids who mispronounced God Ginrai's name, so finding a mint Wikkid toy is near impossible, as all recalled items were destroyed by Takara, and have not been reissued since, except for the E-Hobby recolor in Anime correct colors, which was named "^#$@)*&&%~0". That is pronounced "Generation Zero", BTW.impersonation>

 

*takes bow*

Boo! Absoultely horrible! If you spelled as badly as he does, you would actually be convincing. :tftongue

 

For me, it's Blitzwing since he has the best balance with all modes. His two alt modes look convincing and different enough from each other, and he has a more decent robot mode than Astrotrain.

Blitzwing all the way! A tank and a plane. plus he gets a sword and has his turrent sticking above his head. both of those are cool

looked coolest and had the two coolest modes.

second, Sandstorm

third, Astrotrain

You people forgot Doubledealer on the list. He's my fave.

I never really liked Blitzwing at all. Mostly had to do with the way his arms were.

 

Astrotrain rocked, but this was mostly based on his egotistical, personality in the show. Plus ya gotta love his booming, echoing voice.

 

Octane was cool, and had a cool personality. He was checking out robo-porn in 'Starscream's ghost' ya gotta love that! Although a jetliner is a useless alt mode.

 

Broadside just sucked, right down to his Cliff-from-Cheers sounding voice.

 

Springer and Sandstorm are the Roxxors, they tie for best 3-changer in my book. Both had 2 cool alt modes that were cool and looked good on the toys; a Cybertronian helicopter and armored car, and a helicopter and sandrail. Both had pretty convincing robot modes, although Springers arms bothered me for the same reason as Blitzwing's. And it seems like a lot of my own personality is split between these guys. On one hand, you have a wise-cracking guy with more than just a little Han Solo in the mix, and the other more of an adventurous competitive surfer dude type. These guys' characterization had so much of my own personality in them its downright creepy.

Sandstorm was a hippie, he and his stoner buds left Cybertron running from the draft and settled on Paradon :tfmad......... athoguh he got to score with Paradon medic grrrrrrrrr

Can't believe you left this guy out. He was a triple changer, a mercenary, and a powermaster!

 

DOUBLEDEALER

DOUBLEDEALER

That's the second mention of Doubledealer... check your link:

 

"subgroup: POWERMASTERS."

 

Doubledealer was NOT classified a Triplechanger, because he was not freely capable of transforming between all three modes. He had to be binary-bonded to one engine or the other in order to transform from the Truck alt mode. Knok made him the Autobot robot, Skar made him the Decepticon falcon.

 

HE DOESN"T COUNT.

 

Damn, if I spelled some of that wrong, it would have sounded like X-BoB58. :)

On a side not Ape Face, and Snapdragon are Horrercons, not Triplechangers.

A show accurate Red alert isn't a triple changer either. :)

(X-BoB58 loves my Red alert. Doesn't he, X-BoB?)
