Favorite Transformer?

going to do this one at a time.

for starters surprising no one

G1 (Comic): Shockwave: A genius that's also a BFG that schooled both autobots and decepticons alike. even some of the later series really built on this amazing character.

G1 (cartoon): Soundwave and friends (treating as one). he and his crew were the most competant members of the team and if they either switched sides or had enough, this series would be short. I have a real soft spot for rumble as he is essentially the baldric of the decepticons, but you know, competant at dirty jobs.

like you could see this if it were a journal.

Rumble's Monologue: Time-Traveling Troubles

Scene: Rumble stands in a makeshift medieval camp, surrounded by knights and peasants. With a slightly tarnished helmet atop his head and a puzzled expression, he holds a makeshift catapult made from old machinery, pausing to reflect on his situation with disbelief.

"Okay, just when you thought you'd seen it all as a Decepticon, here I am… in medieval times! How did I end up as a Decepticon knight? snorts You'd think with all my heavy artillery and sonic powers, I'd be blasting Autobots, not juggling around medieval nonsense!

And let's not even get started on these 'quests' they have. Instead of wrecking cities or disrupting Autobot operations, I'm stuck collecting this so-called 'Enchantress'—who frankly is just a girl in a dress casting spells. I mean, come on! You expect me to blend in with these knights and peasants? The only sword I wield is sonic, and it's looking pretty useless here!

Then there's this business of creating a catapult to launch… pauses dramatically …pigeon droppings! Yes, you heard me right. It's not enough I'm crawling through sludge to collect it; now I'm weaponizing it so we can take out Arthur's Knights! This can't be happening.

Honestly, I should be thrilling through battles, not piling up on a medieval dung heap! And while I'm at it—what's with these so-called 'royal' guys? All they do is shout orders and wield swords—they might as well be Autobots wearing fancy hats!

But trust me, once we get this catapult working, the Knights of the Round Table are in for a rude awakening. sharpens a wicked grin I'll be laughing all the way back to Cybertron while these knights are left wondering what hit them!

So here's to Rumble, the Decepticon Knight, bringing fairy tale chaos with a side of pigeon poop! Don't say I never made my mark in history, eh?"

*************************************

Transformers G1 - S3 (Cartoon): Treating season 3 as a separate as it really did some really neat things. So I'm going for a personal favorite: Springer. The Green Knight of the Autobots. Stubborn, Stoic and honestly would have been a better choice then Hot Rod or Ultra Magnus. Plus he treated Arcee like a lady. Even if his triple changer mode was kinda sus (but being a bad ass was good enough).

The only reason Blitzwing didn't take this spot is they sidelined him immediately just as he was getting interesting.

*************************************
Transformers: Beast Wars: Dinobot, hands down. He got the full arc that Blitzwing should have had and it was glorious. He is Raptor Jesus that saved our species in our darkest hour. There is a reason he beat Optimus Prime to being the first transformer in the hall of fame.

*************************************

The others i'll have to stew on. I missed Robots in disguise, and the armada trilogy, but I'll probably have opinions for Animated, Prime and (Darkest sketch/Rooster teeth) at some later date.

We don't talk about Pun-Pun
Grimlock is definitely in my top 10, maybe my top 5, I'd have to think about it, competition is fierce with Shockwave, Optimus, Starscream, Devastator (I don't know, is listing a combiner cheating?), Grimlock, OMEGA SUPREME, Metroplex (and Trypticon, who manages to be even cooler, being a giant robot dinosaur city), freaking Unicron, Primus, Wheeljack, Jazz, and Cliffjumper.

Why Cliffjumper? Dude is a hyper-aggressive conspiracy theorist who even suspects Optimus Prime of being a potential traitor! He's like The Question, but made out of living metal!

This.

In the show Starscream was hilarious.
 




why no one like waspinator?

Several years ago, I tried my hand at fixing Beast Machines by writing up my own version of that series' first episode. In that episode, Waspinator switched sides at the end of Beast Wars, and became a Maximal because he figured it was safer than being a Predacon 😋. I also made him into a Maximal because the BM toy line had a techno organic wasp character. It seemed fitting to me. ;)
