Oh yeah, Impactor is cool.

Suffers from Bludgeon syndrome. New high profile bad-ass baddie, with practically no backstory, appeared from no-where... although had a bit more character development i felt than Bludgeon did, so not as bad.

Megatron rules! Except in that insane Budainsky way, apart from that he was kick-ass imho.

Xaaron?

Xaaron cops some flak from the toonies for not being Alpha Trion...

Flywheels?

Post by **Best First** » Mon Sep 12, 2005 5:15 pm

Flywheels is the glove.

Surely the Pianobot from T2006 wins this hands down?

Omega Supreme
Roadblock
Whirl
Octane

Incredible shrinking bot! Shame he lost that cool way of speaking after Command Performances too.

Optimus Prime Rib wrote:Roadblock

Was he ever in the comic?! I must've missed him, too many Micros.

Optimus Prime Rib wrote:Whirl

Dissappeared, didn't really get to know him from T:2006

Optimus Prime Rib wrote:Octane

Annoying, whinny, glad he got the chop in G2.

Optimus Prime Rib wrote:Shrapnel

Underused as soon as he came to Earth (i.e. 90% of the US Comic)

BB Shockwave · Post by **BB Shockwave** » Wed Sep 14, 2005 7:18 pm

Octane died? Where?

Roadblock never was there... neither Vroom or Skyhammer, Crossblades made a memorable sacrifice in an alternate universe.

-Chainclaw? His motto could be "Please don't hurt me!" Every time he appears, he dies (Fallen Star, Double Deal of the Century, Rhytms of Darkness).

Poor teddy bear...

His head can be seen on the floor of the warworld after Screamer and the G2s have boarded it.

Yeah i'd forgotten about him, poor old chainclaw! He really was the Autobot redshirt wasn't he?

Metal Vendetta · Post by **Metal Vendetta** » Thu Sep 15, 2005 12:42 am

I'd say being a Pretender beast gave a character a pretty short lifespan, after all only one of four survived...

The Last Autobot · Post by **The Last Autobot** » Thu Sep 15, 2005 2:52 am

What about Sideswipe?

i though he only died in Rythems. Doubledeal he gets duffed up, fallen star he gets punched in the head.

Rhthems being ironically the only appearence he was half way cool in.

lesson for the kids, being cool gets you killed.

Sadly Brend took that one a bit to much to heart. Then again, he is still alive. Maybe there's something in it...

Sideswipe... ugh, the stupid Brad Mick squabbling siblings incarnation sadly puts me off.

Quake anyone? being indestrucatble is kind of cool... (poor Waverider...)

But did he ever actually get a character?!

Post by **Best First** » Thu Sep 15, 2005 12:04 pm

he was just always around it seemed.

that's a no, isn't it?

Divebomb?

BB Shockwave · Post by **BB Shockwave** » Thu Sep 15, 2005 6:02 pm

Who's gonna bet his real name was Swoop before he stole 'Divebomb' from the 'soon-to-be' Swoop?

Ithink it was a pity their feaud was never touched upon again after Grudge Match.

Quake is cool. Anyone to survive a point blank shot that killed a God, well, Quake, I salute you! Plus he had a character - he was the average run-of-the-mill Decepticon warrior. We don't have many of these, half of the Con army are psychos while the rest are Starscream-wannabees. There has to be someone around who just wants to do his job...

You're right about Chainclaw, Besty,but point is,he always gets the shaft.
But your "being cool gets you killed" observation is spot on... And people say there are no morals in a comic! Hah!

-New one- Fangry!

Surely everyone likes him! (you better be, or I'll tell him,and as you know, "Fangry never forgets!") Shame about the toy's legs,though-he could only hop around like a very evil bunny...

Post by **Best First** » Fri Sep 16, 2005 10:42 am

Fangry is a galactic bell.

Optimus Prime Rib · Post by **Optimus Prime Rib** » Mon Sep 19, 2005 4:21 am

I did mean to say RoadBuster.. not roadblock..

BB Shockwave · Post by **BB Shockwave** » Mon Sep 19, 2005 4:59 pm

He died a very stupid death... even stupider then Topspin...

Of course telling Megatron how insignificant he is ,ispretty much stupid as it is.

Post by **Best First** » Mon Sep 19, 2005 5:03 pm

Nah, i think Toppy's detah was dafter.

But not by much.

Why id Furmy turn RBuster into a Frickin cowboy anyway? In T2006 he was quite a considered ol' bean.

I like Roadbuster

What about Ravage?

KingMob · Post by **KingMob** » Tue Sep 20, 2005 6:55 am

Oh yeah, more props for Ravage. He is nice and smooth, in that way a luvverly drink goes down yer throat.

I like Roadbuster too, both Old Sweat and Tex modes. They're both notable in thier own ways, although Tex would probably grate a bit if he had been around longer. Still, there was no particular sense in changing his characterisation from the earlier version, it was superior.
It's like he got half of Whirl's brain-module implanted in 'is head.

Sorry BB, but Fangry is a total berk.

We mentioned Swoop...thoughts? I looooovve him.

Post by **Best First** » Tue Sep 20, 2005 8:53 am

I think Swoop is groovy, although Divebomb has a tendasncy tomak ehim look a bit of a pansy.

Snarl? Snarl is bom diggy.

Legion · Post by **Legion** » Tue Sep 20, 2005 9:03 am

Swoop annoyed me because he got a lot of the lime-light and i couldn't get his toy for love nor money...

Snarl was good, but Slag was cooler!

Brendocon · Post by **Brendocon** » Tue Sep 20, 2005 9:04 am

Fangry sucks more cock than an ageing nymphomaniac pornstar prostitute type person.

Swoop's cool. Cartoon version was dumb as that bloke who doesn't talk. You know the one.

Snarl and Ravage are groovy.

Flywheels is the bomb diggy, diggy, diggy, bomb.

Hound · Post by **Hound** » Tue Sep 20, 2005 4:22 pm

Snarl and Swoop are awesome.

Windcharger? he was never involved much, but he was pretty useful when he was!

Have we mentioned Perceptor? He was pretty cool in the comics and not that bad in the cartoon either.

Punch?

BB Shockwave · Post by **BB Shockwave** » Tue Sep 20, 2005 5:33 pm

Perceptor annoyed the hell out of me in the cartoon. he was OK in the comics.

Punch? Saw him in the Rebirth? If he's the best spy the Bots have, I feel sorry for them. However he was much more professional in the Headmasters, even though Galvy found out his identity in the end.

Post by **Best First** » Wed Sep 21, 2005 7:52 am

Perceptor annoyed me because he seemed quite badass on Cybertron and yet turned into a bit of a wuss on earth.

Hmm. Who shall be our leader now Prime is dead?

"Hey, Perceptor, why don't uyou mention you used to leada large resistence faction on Cybertron?"

"Nah".
