One of the best things about the UK series was the original characters it came up with. So, which one was best?

I voted for Morriss...

I think Ceturian is quality.

He has no right to go toe to toe with such rabid hard cons, but he never gives up.

Also, in the national interest has ******* great art, that story is memorable.

I think morris is great aswell - a nice twist on events what with swoop etc...
And I do like the way Galvy stomps centurion "hey morris meet a real TF"

But of course I voted Impactor.

I voted Impy. But all 3 are worthy of mention.

Actually, today I was thinking, what with all the new TFs being based on old designs...

Energon Megs = G1 Galvy
Cybertron Starscream = WW Starscream
Vector Prime = Last Autobot

...how long until we see a real TF modelled after Impactor? Seems these days all the fandom has to do is wish it and it happens...
I would have waited a ******* eternity for this!!!!

i think Xaaron was the best developed ad he gets extra kudos for making it into the US continuity.

I liked the little guy who turned into a Piano.....


I love Impactor, but Emirate Xaaron was more important and 'part of things'.

Ditto. Question - which Xaaron design is preferred? Original UK or the yellow from the later US issues?

He was basically the same wasn't he?

I always liked to imagine that Xaaron really was made of gold - a real living artifact of Cybertron's Golden Age. :)

I like the way Wildman made his mouth more stretchy. He wasn't the most expressive of 'bots before then.

Eh.... I suppose, now that I think about it, he was basically the same. Wildman's expressions were ace, though.
