    Another to add to the list, Nightscream, I think that's the name, the little black car that came with Armada Airazor!

    The green one from the original street speed minicon team, I think his name was Backtrack. He had good poseability (apparently that was the 'feature' of the street speed team) and had a good looking alt mode, which is based off a real car (too lazt to do the real research atm but I believe it was the mercedes driven by trinity during the highway chase scene in the matrix reloaded)

    I'd have to give mine to Scyth from the Emergency Team as well. I've allways been a fan of the Offspry. (Tho I am looking forward to Oilslick.)

    Armada Jolt. Seriously, he's the only reason I even bought Hot Shot a few years ago. Reverb's second and probably Sonar or sea one of the sea team minicons is 3rd *i dont remember their names

    Aww don't make me choose between those sweet little buggers :( 
    But if you insist.

    1, Kobushi: Love the colourscheme and the articulation is decent to.
    2, Overcast: Best from the giant planet team.
    3, Terradive, One of my favourite armada mincons
    4, Liftor, ever since I got my hands on Smokescreen Liftors been my favourite MC partner.
    5, Stormcloud (original deco) Sweet articulation and a big honkin missile above his head :D 

    I could keep on and aranging all my minicons but thta'll do for now.

    How about Overload? A quadruple-changing micro-head-targetmaster. That's worth the price of admission right there. And he got the best repaint of all of Armada.

    Though I have many favorites, I still think that Liftor (packed w/ Armada Smokescreen) is my all-time #1.

    A close second would be CYB Menasor's Mini-Con followed by any version of Drill Bit who was first introduced in Armada's Destruction Team.

    I also like (any version) of the Armada Mini-Con Firebot mold. I just got the new Classics Firebot today though so after fiddling w/ him he might replace the old Firebot as a new favorite.

    And Jolt, whether it's the Armada or Cybertron/GF versions...I guess I have a thing for helicopter TFs. Too bad the new Classics Divebomb helicopter has a crappy robot mode.

    Armada Prowl, from the Emergency team. Sure, his robot mode sucks, but he's the closest we'll get to TargetMasters.

    You know he forms part of the Requiem Blaster too ? Mount him in buggy mode on top of the post sticking out of Skyblast and he forms the scope for the larger gun.

    I'm quite fond of Rollout, Overrun & Safeguard for their gun modes.
    Thunderwing for the integration with Skywarp.
    Inferno for the missile launcher and the ease of which you can fix his assembly error.
    Recon Sixspeed for the beautiful clear dark blue.
    Anti Blaze for making the fire truck mold not look like a fire truck (swat van)

    But the winner at the moment probably has to be Stripmine as his interaction with Quickmix beats all the others.
