Why do they all have red faces, I wonder?

Red faces because they're Autobots.

So are the Transformers. Unless it's a combiner who owns pants and has remembered to wear them in the photo shoot.

Pretenders wear clothes. So does Nightbeat when he's playing detective. And Optimus Prime when he dresses up as Father Christmas. And I suppose you could say... ha, ha... that they all wear... coats of paint! *watches tumbleweed roll past* Martin |

Pipes is pish. Died quickly in Sunbow. Died quickly in IDW.

Despite the Pipes revelations this week, and I nearly went with him for overlooking his uniqueness for 32 years, I have to go Tailgate. Windcharger's mould is brilliant, but in white with a proper robot face (and the only one that really works when wedged into an 84 mould from this bunch) he is probably the best looking minibot of them all.

I'm going to have to give this one to Tailgate for two reasons:-
1) Fantastic fiddle-factor. He has a simple, but fun transformation and is in general a really fun toy to play with.
2) His slightly mad personality. I love the whole "thinks Earth machines should be freed from the oppressors" angle, and the fact that he apparently just can't wrap his head around the idea of non-sentient machines. This is both rather amusing, and also gives some interesting world-building hints about the kind of world he is used to - in a handful of lines. The fact that his name is so literal a reference to his special power is fun as well - he literally tailgates people and uses his magnet to get them to tow him to save fuel...
Yeah, Tailgate takes it - despite my affection for Pipes whom I had as a kid.

I was voting for Outback as I like him best, but I am changing my vote to a tactical vote to Tailgate (or "Tailgte") as Ralph has convinced me that Pipes is some sort of hermit crab living in Huffer's corpse

Has to be Hubcap for me. Simply because I was baffled by his very existence when he was released.

Justice prevails. Pipes also wins the moral victory, as there was clear tactical voting going on.

  Runamuck is stronger and more skilful. Runabout is very slightly faster (in mph), and braver. Curiously, shock troopers appear to have higher ranks than warriors - 6 rather than 5. According to their Transformers Universe entries, Runabout has a quicker transformation sequence - 0.4 seconds, like the Jumpstarters, compared to Runamuck's 0.5 seconds. They both like vandalising public monuments. Runamuck is the one that goes, "Heh heh." But all that analysis counts for nothing. Runabout wins because he's black like Knight Rider. Martin |

I a) suspected colour would play a strong part this week and b) can't remember which is which so guess some others here are the same so included some help in identifying them in the poll options this week.
