    All my favorites are G1, so...

    1) Starscream - Not the usual yes-man second in command most villians have. Starscream has ambition... possibly too much ambition...

    2) Grimlock - Because him Grimlock am king. ;)  Other than being the baddest bad ass on the Autobot team, he's got probably one of the most bad ass G1 toys in existance.

    3) Optimus Prime - He was my childhood hero and I still look up to him.

    Honorable Mentions: Sky Lynx, Shockwave, Thundercracker, Octane, Scourge, Ultra Magnus, Jazz, Prowl, and Wheeljack.

    G1 Starscream-great character, always liked that he just smarted off to Megatron and constantly felt he was better

    Abominus-favorite toy

    Sixshot-total badass

    Grimlock comes in close though

    Starscream- he's coniving, sneaky but easily defeated. His incredible ambition is both his strength and his weakness. Plus he's a cocky SOB who looks really badass when he's pointing his null rays at someone.

    Soundwave- he's coniving and you can't trust him. Plus he carries around his own small army and he's got that trippy voice.

    Optimus Prime- Great leader with a commanding presence but he's humble and selfless. He should run for president in 2008. Lol.

    Unicron, Thunderwing, Bludgeon, need I say more, these are pretty self explanatory.

    Now if I were going G1 animated series, I'd say Soundwave, Starscream, Megatron/Galvatron

    BW would be Megatron, Waspinator, Tarantulas

    Still though, theres too many good ones, this should really be a top 10 list

    My top three favorite:

    1) Optimus Prime -- he's such a good role model.
    2) Barricade -- I love his alt-mode... and the voice!
    3) G1 Soundwave -- it's his voice, I'm telling you!

    Hmmm I am at work so I will give my answers fast, so I think they'll be honest:


    - Marvel Comic Grimlock: Absolutely raw power, and great warrior.

    - Black Convoy (RID Scourge): The first evil Prime, simply sweet!

    - BW / BM Megatron: The only Megs that almost win at the end. He really got something.

    For no other reasons except their loyalty to their respective leaders I'd say Soundwave, Ironhide and Cyclonus.

    My 3 favorite Transformers:

    1) Barricade, 07 Movie -- I absolutely love his alt-mode, and he just reeks of bad ass-ery, that I just can't help but love him so much. :D 

    2) Optimus Prime -- He's just so iconic, mostly his G1 and Movie-verse incarnations. His voice, his overall demeanor... he's just somebody that I look up to as a father figure. It makes me wish that my dad was more like him. :lol 

    3) Soundwave -- I just can't get enough of this character. His voice catches my attention just as much as Optimus Prime's, and I just like his overall personality, plus the fact that he has all of these cool minions.

    1. Optimus Prime (G1 and Movies) - He's heroic, he would give his life for others, and nothing can really stand in his way. A born leader. I look up to him as my all-time favorite hero. He has a great voice, too.

    2. Grimlock (G1 cartoon and comics) - He's strong, mean yet good, and won't hesitate to beat the slag out of you. He was always a comic relief because of the way he speaks in the cartoon. Plus, I love T-Rexs.

    3. Soundwave (G1 and movies) - Loyal, powerful, and strong, Soundwave is one of the greatest characters. He's got his own little army too! Also, his voice is awesome, I can't get enough of it.

    Honorable mentions: 1. Movie Megatron, 2. G1 Megatron, 3. Animated Optimus, 4. G1 Galvatron, 5. G1 and Animated Ultra Magnus.

    -Shockwave: he has an awesome voice, and hes got an awesome personality

    -Soundwave: he doesnt need explaining.

    -motormaster: probably the most badass decepticon in g1


    from the movieverse:

    -Blackout: has a cool voice, and a really neat personality.

    -Megatron: easily the most evil and best megatron ever

    -Jetfire: This one needs no explaining

    Smokescreen - The Alt/BT version turns into my favorite car.

    Grimlock - Dinosaurs, especially T-Rexs, are just plain cool.

    My favorite three are as follows in order of inportance.

    G1 Ratbat: Probably the most successful Decepticon leader of all time, a great fuel auditor, he ruled by efficiency and he use ti have a cool Robot body when he was a Senator. Plus when he was the leader of the Ultracons he was not only a great fighter but a great strategist. Way better than Megatron.

    TransTechs Ratbat: Looks way cooler in this universe and dough he hasn't done much he is still a powerful Senator.

    TransTech Shockwave: What can I say he is morally ambiguous. And voiced by Vangelus.

    Fort Max...a huge honkin' robot, plus he's got more guns than an NRA member's list
    Omega Supreme...the original giant TF, plus I love the fact that he was the first one able t walk by itself.
    G1 Soundwave...what can I say? He was a mysterious character made more so by the vocoder. When I was a kid I always thought the 'Cons would be in big trouble without him...who else would make the Energon cubes?
