Congratulations!
The clue was the dates the Predacons were released.
This actually starts a small series where we do the top 5 toys in each of 4 major factions. Maximals, Decepticons and Autobots will follow later.....

5. Generations Waspinator 4. Transmetal Megatron 3. Magmatron 2. Transmetal Tarantulas 1. DotP Megatron
Honourable mentions to Quickstrike, Terrorsaur, and Blight.
Went out of my way to avoid having versions of characters with no Beast Modes, though, otherwise there would have been three Tarantulas' in the list.

Thursday Tease Is it 1986 or 1996 this week? Or never and 1998? I get 1986 and 1996 references, but what is the 1998 one? If it were 2013 I would understand. What have I missed in 1998? (something to do with The Agenda?)

Never and 1998 are the Predacons UK release dates.

Thursday Tease: today the country stands divided over the election. So tomorrow I think we'll do a subject to bring us brave soldiers together.

Week 214: Unite Warriors
As an epilogue to our CW series of polls, your top 5 Unite Warrior toys.
There's several slightly tweaked colour schemes and some very mad repaints here!

Thursday Tease (and I know I've not done last week's top 5 yet)
Is he Autobot? Decepticon? Minicon? And does this character have a record number of water cannons associated with a name?

We've already done Inferno, but I'm at a loss as to who else it could be...

Took a different tack and looked into whether there are any popular water gun toys who share names with Transformers that would fit. I have not found one, but there are some Nerf gun names which would double as excellent Transformer names!

Inferno Come on!!!!! There was a Predacon Inferno, has there ever been a Decepticon one? I'd need to check but I think this could be one of the earliest names to be used on both an Autobot and Decepticon.

But they were originally Animorphs toys so you must love them.

I regret not buying Superion now, as I would have liked the white HFGs. Not that keen on Menasor, especially the fake wheels on Dragstrip, but like the black Motormaster cab. The Op has the right Voyager Op in the box but apart from his black legs I couldn't see any reason to buy the set. Defensor has been rendered largely redundant by the western Groove release: the paint on Defensor's chest plate makes it look the right shape but is countered by the blue being off colour. Bruticus retains it's value by being the only place to get a shuttle Blast Off but other colours are all over the shop and my Vortex's rotors fall apart. Lynxmaster components are better than Sky Reign's, and is the only retail place to get Ratchet. So .... 5) ComputronSomehow misses the mark. Afterburner is now the wrong colour as well as the wrong shape, Lightspeed is better, Nosecone could have been better, needs more on the top of the vehicle, and Strafe isn't as good. Scattershot is better shapewise but I prefer the western colour. 4) Grand ScourgeMad repaint. I'd prefer the RID Scourge but this one is something a bit different. Currently acting as the body for my Botcon spares. 3) BaldigusFABULOUS repaint, does everything you'd want it to and chucks in some new weapons to properly arm the team and the combiner. Only at 3 because it was an expected repaint. 2) MegatroniaHated Victorion, complete train wreck with the colours. The unifying black on the cars is great and the female Megatron Voyager is amazing! 1) Grand GalvatronYeah like there would be any other winner. Japanese repaint madness at it's very very best.
