From either the recent live action film, or much more preferably from the comics and / or the older

animated TV series (which have both offered more time to get to know the Transformer characters),

who are currently your 3 favorite Transformer characters and please say WHY, for each fave one named.

 

If this topic has been discussed here before, please give a thread link if you have any on file, as I did a

search here and unfortunately nothing came up, as the search system on this board isn't that good.

I like Darth Vader, Boba Fett, and Luke Skywalker because they represent the embodiment of good, environmentalism, and evil respectively. I try to find a smaller font but can't because I can't be bothered. Thank you.

I like Scourge from RiD, 'cause he's badass and has a great toy.

BW/BM Megatron, 'cause he's smart, badass and has had some of the best toys ever.

And Tailgate.

tailgate?

 

cannonball - because he came outa nowhere and is a shameless ripoff of pirates of the caribean

energon rodimus - because he wasn't a prime bootlicker

megatron - always a thinker

- I’ll run with thread -

 

G1 Comics Shockwave; Made a big impact by defeating the Autobots and dethroning Megatron for the Decepticon leadership. He came the closest of all the Decepticon leaders to achieving his goals and his style of leadership was a refreshing contrast to the insanity, rage and tub thumping of Megatron/Galvatron.

 

Anime Shockwave sucked ass though.

 

Beast Wars Silverbolt; The template for a Maximal/Autobot hero – brave, noble, daring, courageous … even melted the heart of Blackarachnia.

 

Anime Skylynx; the heroic egotist, he was big headed but had the skills to back it up. He was superb in the Call of the Primitives – (flying in to save the days) “Save your ammunition Autobots, superior forces are taking over’.

1) G1 Lord Megatron: because he truely understands the nature of power & how to use it.

Megatron also is out standing in his abilty to detect an oponets flaws & use them to his advantage.

Plus I think its wicked as hell to see him kill Autobots at point blank range with that big ass fuison cannon!

2) Soundwave: his stealth & silance is a totaly with out question the best in the trade.

to bad the CIA, FBI, & White House didn't have Soundwave intellagence gathing expertice at their disposal before invading Iraq.

No other TF has the tactical abilities as the "Wave". all Megatron as to do is ask once & Soundwave instantly will concock a plan of total distruction.

3) Starscream: the original SUPREME-DIVA!

Not only can Starscream work a runway wareing her crown, Royal cape, & "afterburner high heels",

but this is one TF who truly relishes bring his oponet to their knees!

with the use of his two powerful "null ray cannons", Starscream compleatly diables any Autobot (& the occaisonal Decepticon),

rendering them as helpless as a new born bot.

its at this point when the shrill diva takes total delight in monologing &

braging about his supreamacy of all life, & how he's gonna make your

death extreamly painful. although Starscream might not be the

best Warrior, he does how ever excell, in the interrorgation chamber.

by the time Starscream is done with his foe, he has all he needs to know & then some.

if he's in a good mood he might even let his enemy kill themself to end the agony.

(im sorry I have to stop now, I get emotional when I think my idol).......................I LOVE YOU STARSCREAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Circuitbreaker: because she's the human that came closest to destroying all the transformers

 

Perceptor: Because he put Wheeljack's sciency stuff to shame

 

3rd is a tie between the 3 pimp daddies Power Glide and Sea Spray, both got lucky.

And Tailgate.

 

this is a difficult one but the ones who come to mind are from the Generation 1 series TV show.

 

1) Soundwave: who didn't like him? this guy was the paragon of loyalty and to me he was the Master of Spies (Lazerbeak & Ravage)

 

2) Jazz: dude breakdanced, and was a Porsche 911!!! what more do you need?

 

3) Starscream: yeah, he had Cobra Commander's voice and yeah, he b***hed all the time, but dude was bad a** and a F-15E Super Eagle!!!

most of my favorite characters came from the beastwars era...

 

First of all.. Waspinator.. how can you not love a Transformer who's constantly down on his luck? Certainly has not been a TF before him.. and not many after him.. well, :07dance came close to it.. I guess.

 

Rhinox.. capable of both good and evil.. but always seemed sort of low key and "zen" like.

 

Beast Wars Megatron .. suave, cool, and got Blot done. The only competent leader the deceptions(Predacons) have EVER seen.
