Your top 5 TF Characters -EVER!

[Shockprowl]

Gun against your head, your top 5. Talking about characters, as oppose to toys. I know we do this every now and then. Need updated lists, plus we've had some new recruits recently. Interesting to see folkes choices!

Mine are:

1. Prowl (who'da guessed?)
2. Shockwave
3. Jazz
4. Soundwave
5. Wheeljack


Standard stuff, you'll agree.

[jameso]

1. Rodimus Prime
2. Prowl
3. Mindwipe
4. Triggerhappy
5. Soundwave

[blueshift]

Off the top of my head:

1 - Carnivac
2 - Starscream (Armada)
3 - Grimlock (Marvel Comics)
4 - Galvatron (G1, all versions!)
5 - Thunderwing

[Andy Turnbull]

Ratchet
Bluestreak
Commander Jhiaxus
Swoop
Optimus Prime.

[Kingoji]

In no order;

Smokescreen (G1)
Warpath (G1)
Carnivac (G1)
Rattrap (Beast Wars)
Inferno (Beast Wars)

It's so tempting to add a few "honourable mentions", but that would defeat the point. These were the first to come to me, so that's how it has to stand.

[grahamthomson]

Ooh, just 5? That's going to be tricky.

Blaster
Ultra Magnus
Galvatron
Rodimus Prime
Soundwave

[Gav]

RiD Sky Byte
BW Megatron
Animated Prowl
RiD Megatron
BW Silverbolt

[blueshift]

DAMN how could I possibly forget Sky Byte!

[Kingoji]

And I've just remembered and wish I'd added Animated Blurr. Take him instead of Inferno!

[Deleted]

I would have to say

Rattrap (Beast Wars)
Jazz (G1)
Cliffjumper (G1)
Grimlock (marvel UK personality)
Rampage (Beast Wars)

[Philip Ayres]

If this is characters and not toys doesn't it belong elsewhere ? What do you define as character ? Tech Spec, Comic or Cartoon ?

[Kingoji]

Whichever is your favourite version, I'd imagine.

3. Sunstreaker
4. BW Megatron
5. Animated Prowl

Quick as you like offa the top o' my head.

[Stomski]

Starscream, Jazz, Grimlock, Megatron (G1), Megatron (Beast Era, Rubber Duckey > j00)

[Grand Moff Muffin]

With so many different interpretations of characters, I feel obliged to put which version I'm talking about:

1. Ratchet - as portrayed by Bob Budiansky in US TF #7-8

2. Prowl - as portrayed by Simon Furman in US TF #75-80, Another Time & Place and the Earthforce stories... hmmm... and Dinobot Hunt... and UK TF #100...

3. Shockwave - as portrayed by Bob Budiansky in US TF #5-12

4. Bluestreak - as portrayed by Bob Budiansky in US TF #11

5. Skids - as portrayed by Bob Budiansky in US TF #20

Some people who know me may be surprised I've left out the likes of Mirage and Windcharger, but they weren't properly explored in the Marvel comics, and had more of what I would call character (tech-specs) potential.

[skillex]

Hmmm, it's a tough one but probably...

Shockwave
Grimlock
Emirate Xaaron
Kup
Arcee

All G1 Marvel. Well, maybe Arcee and Kup have been influenced by their IDW portrayals.

Honourable mentions to Optimus Prime, Nightbeat, Ratchet, Prowl, Bumblebee, Soundwave, Ravage, Blackarachnia and Rattrap.
