So here's the big money question.

Over the last 25 years the Transformers have appeared in media from the exquisite to the scribbled and been licensed to the responsible and the... Pat Lee. Discussion of all the branches of TF media within!

My friend asked me this the other day and it stopped me cold. "Who is your favorite Transformer?" I couldn't believe my inability to answer. I know my favorite movie, my favorite color, my favorite song, my favorite band, even my favorite videogame. I know my favorite characters of many other shows, manga, etc, but when it comes to Transformers I love them all so much it's hard to pick a favorite. Opinions? Comments? Favorites?

To be honest, I thnk most of us have been in the fandom far too long to be anything but crotchety and bitter when it comes to most things. I however usually go with Grimlock as a favourite. He is badass.

Gotta go with the Kup from All Hail Megatron. He was possibly the only saving grace from the latter half of that comic line.

I was always a fan of Jazz, he wasnt as big a vag as Prowl was always portrayed as.

Bludgeon has my vote for fav Con. He was a skeletal samurai. No contest.

ugh, I feel like such a noob, I'm only really familiar with RiD and TFTM. I'm wotking on that though! Hopefully going to get on All Hail Megatron soon, especially because I know Kup is in it now.

But if you want a good TF comic with Kup in it, read Spotlight: Kup. ;)

And here's the reading order for IDW's comics, more or less.

Does that edition of T- 2006 have all the new Roche covers? I need those new covers. They are so effing good.

I always went with Bumblebee, especially the INfiltration Bumblebee for whom humans are acceptable losses. Don't know if Zander Cannon will change that. Might have to switch to Grimlock.

Shockwave, obviously. (Marvel/IDW comic version even more obviously). :ididit:

From Autobots, Prowl. He's a prick, yes. But we need pricks like him otherwise civilization as we know would collapse in seconds in the hands of Wolverine/Grimlock-like people.

Ooh. That's a good Xaaron.

However, you all forgot to mention Size-changing Between Normal, Micromaster and back Xaaron.

As for the one I chose, it was "Legion said Trannis, so I flipped a coin between Traachon and Xaaron, and this is the one whose head turned up."

On another note, I did consider Man of Iron and the Navigator too. :lol:

This changes all the time but at the moment I'm really digging Flame have finished rereading that arc the other day. Nice to have a villain who's plan is a bit **** and mad because they're completely and utterly bonkers rather than the usual thing where Megatron/Thunderwing/Shockwave ect are supposed to be a credible threat but keep doing stupid things. He also acts as a catalyst for great things from Xaaron and Springer as well.
