Good question! Besides Skyhammer and Breacher who are both top-notch, I’d say Decepticons Ice Pick and Skullgrin.

This thread is the only place I go for TF news anymore. I can't stand anywhere else. I used to be really active in previous iterations of this thread, but rarely post anymore just due to my current busy life. Everyone here is so levelheaded and genuinely nice that the thought of losing out on this little community has had me stressed out for the past couple of days. Hopefully the new ownership deal goes through and we can keep this thing rolling for years to come. Moving on, I'm really looking forward to that BTTF figure. I loved Ectotron and want to see what that Top Gun jet guy looks like better. I hope we see a Blues Brothers figure in the future.

Don't forget the other non-screen Bayverse bots, chaps like Wreckage and Truck Dropkick and Terradive and Ransack and Mindwipe and Skystalker

Robot Style posted:Here's a question - what are the best toys that have the least characterization? I've started grabbing a different robot to hang out on my desk each day since I started working from home, and I'm finding myself rediscovering a lot of really cool robots with next to nothing in terms of presence in fiction, like today's good friend Skyhammer. Most of the toy only Bayverse characters work great for this purpose, ROTF Thrust is one of my favorites not only because he has a very unique robot mode aesthetic but also because he has one of the cleanest jet modes of any transformer

The_Doctor posted:HftD scout class darling, Breacher. He’s honestly such an amazing figure. Goddamn everybody from Revenge of the Fallen was a treasure.       I never saw the movie, but as I understand, none of these guys really featured in any of it. They just gave the designers free reign to make whatever they wanted, so you get all these distinct characters that transform from vehicles that you don't see anywhere else in the franchise and change in such unique ways that you don't see throughout the franchise. The Real Gear bots were amazing hits as well.     Unique look, unique transformations, good all around. Never seen before or since. I actually used the Camera guy to make a communist robot for a diorama in high school, I love that ushanka.

Keldroc posted:Other than Swindle, First Aid in the IDW comics, and maybe the Aerialbots in the G1 cartoon, the vast majority of the combiner limbs probably fall into this category. Especially the Terrorcons and Technobots. The Technobots has personalities, even if it's one-note. Afterburner is anti-authority, Nosecone is meticulous, Lightspeed is a dreamer who wants to fly, Strafe is paranoid, Scattershot is... the leader? The Terrorcons I couldn't tell you much about other than Blot stinks. Managed to pick up Grapple, Wheeljack and Cliffjumper. Who am I still missing out of the wave?

Wow. That Rotorstorm's chest is painted like the original toy, which used the chopper cockpit for the chest. Is three cockpits the limit, or will this be a Gilette situation?

Knormal posted:I'm asking $10 for deluxes, $15 for voyagers, $30 for leaders. I really want to use Blastcharge in a comic someday, have him be part of a tribe of Cybertronians for whom their vehicle mode is their primary mode and their robot mode is the alt-mode, merely something they adopted out of convenience for interacting with other tribes of Cybertronian who follow the "standard" model Basically unlike most people who do Transformers comics where they mostly ignore the various gimmicks of the franchise and indeed often underutilize even standard transforming, I'd go whole hog in exploring those and their effects on Cybertronian civilization

Vaporware posted:How do minicons fit into this theory of yours? Pretty simple really, they're a tribe of Cybertronian who due to their very small size and heavily optimized systems mean they utilize energy extremely efficiently and due to their extremely communal and friendly nature they developed systems that allowed them to easily share their energy among themselves and later with other Cybertronian tribes The Micromasters would be a later artificial attempt at replicating the efficiency of the Minicons to varying degrees of success(indeed most of the other "Master" variations derive from similar experiments as well, indeed the first true Transectors were created for use by Minicons) SlothfulCobra posted:Bring back the sparkabots and firecons IDW, you cowards.
