What's better: Triggerbot-style flip out guns or Firecon-style sparks?

I liked both kinds of Triggerbotcons. I remember, to this day, getting Crankcase on a day out with my dad. We also went to see Ghostbusters II, and then for a burger afterwards.  I remember opening Crankcase and finding a little leaflet advertising Reflector! Dad said no to getting that one.  |

I nagged my mum and dad to take me to get a Ghost In The Can too, but no. They did take me to see Ghostbusters 2 though. I loved the Triggers and the Sparks lot as they were within my once a fortnight (provided I got taken to TRU) Transformers toy budget. Unfortunatley, my dad conferscated Cindersaur, Fizzle and Guzzle on the New Years Eve of 1988 claiming that they would set fire to the carpet. I did get them back eventually with the spark wheels filed down. Maybe he played with them when I was'nt around |

My Dad bought me Flamefeather one weekend, and when I got home, my Mum went mad thinking I would burn the house down!! |

I had Override and Ruckus. Override was so quick on the draw, Ruckus never stood a chance. (Plus, Override had chrome guns.)

I have yet to own a Triggercon. But I have had the Firecons and the power of sparks is MINDBLOWING.
Sparks all the way baby!

Yeah, sparks are cool, but hidden weapons that flip out, fast or slow, are cooler.

Crankcase is really the only on that has hidden weapons. The others do poke out at the back.
