My favorite TF of all time would probably be Grimlock.
BTW - For all of you bemoaning the fact that you can't buy a gun Megatron, it's not Hasbros' fault. Modern US toy laws prevent sale of any toys that look like a real gun. About a year ago, there was a recolor of the original Megatron released in Japan, and most toy importers/resellers wouldn't/couldn't even go near the thing... it was eBay or bust on that thing.
This isn't totally new. In 1995, for TF: Generation 2, they recolored and rereleased the original Prime, but had to make a new tank Megatron, because of the safety laws.
I like TFs as much as I like RPGs, and currently buy all the new releases. I've got every TF from Beast Wars till today (barring convention exclusives and just released ones that haven't hit my area). The new Armada Megatron is also a tank, and is pretty cool.

ARGH! How did I miss this topic for this long?!
HUGE transfan over here, been to the last 2 BotCons and had a blast. Scott McNeil (voice actor for BW Dinobot, Waspinator, Silverbolt, and Rattrap) is just awesome. Gary Chalk (BW Optimus Primal) is a big gorilla.
The latest TF series, "Armada," is due out sometime this month on Cartoon Newtwork. They showed a preview of the first ep at the BotCon 2002 Dinner. I dind't see it, but a friend of mine did, and thoroughly enjoyed it. Factoid: Gary Chalk and David Kaye (BW Megatron) are both doing voice in Armada. Most all the Armada toys kick much ass, with the notable exception of Laserbeak.
"Code of Hero" is one of THE best episodes of ANY animated series.
I'mhard-pressed to pick a fave character, but my fave series was Beast Wars, which just barely edges out the original series. Robots in Disguise was good, in a light-hearted way, but I see why many people slammed it. Beast Machines was... *twitches* *convulses* well, it could've been worse. But not by much.
That's not the only Law of Physics torn/stapled/mutilated in TF Continuity (which is itself at times a tangled mess). Prime example: "The Ultmiate Doom," in which Megs brings Cybertron to Earth, to harness the energy released by Earth as it tears itself apart due to Cybertron's gravitational pull. The Autobots blow Cybertron away by shooting Megatron's Star Cruiser (which is full of Energon Cubes) with their hand-held weapons. The explosion did push Cybertron far away (without damaging it or incinerating 2/3 of the Earth, but Megatron was unscathed.
Here's a question -- any of you Transfans visit/frequent other transfan boards? I'll break the ice by revealing that I'm frequently found at Axalon Underground, as "Dr Archeville."

Scatman Crothers actually did the voice of Jazz.
Starscream, he was just such a coldblooded psychopath.
