If you had the resources to commission a full size Transformer replica to stand in your back garden, which would you choose?
Also, what form would the Transformer take? Would it be based on the toy, the animation sheets or a particular artist's style? Or would it be open to interpretation by the designer/sculptor/architect? Would it be posed in a particular manner, or modelled after a particular piece of art?
For the purposes of this thread, you can, if you want, assume that it's not your actual back garden, but one big enough to accommodate your chosen Transformer. But you can't choose a city or a planet Transformer, because that's just silly. (You may also assume that planning permissions are not an issue.
)
Personally, I'd like Devastator. Realism would be the order of the day, with him constructed out of actual vehicle parts, or else good reproductions. It would largely be modelled after the toy, though as the toy linkages would look naff, there would be a degree of interpretation, probably based on the Dreamwave style. He would have a fairly neutral pose, standing upright like a sentinel, possibly with his head slightly tilted as if he's just noticed a passer by.
