    G1 Optimus Prime - Things are just better when he's around.

    Beast Wars Dinobot - A truly great character arc.

    Marvel comics G1 Galvatron - Fucking in. sane.

    Fort Max...that dude TOWERS over my collection.

    G1 Shockwave...I don't think there was a G1 toy that was as close to his animation model as Shockwave was, and Corey Burton's voice just lent so much to that character.

    Unicron...c'mon, it's Orson Welles. Doesn't get much cooler than that.

    Bumblebee has always been my favorite, and I'm really not sure why, other than to say that I very much like how he's just nice to everyone--as cheesy as that sounds.

    Optimus Prime, because he's pretty much the best father-figure ever. He's someone with integrity, I mean. And I like that lots.

    Mmm. I haven't given much thought to another favorite, but I think I'm leaning towards Ratchet--just because I get a kick out of his grouchy and sarcastic personality.

    Hot Rod- becuz he man up, when others were scared (ultra magnus), whupped galvatron ass, bad ass car!

    Grimlock- cuz he KING! Prime's punk, plus he and dinobots are the best 5 man team, that don't combined and they still whupped ass!

    Soundwave- cuz he was just cool, plus his tapes are more popular than other bots....

    I like the majority of characters, it be alot easier for me to just list 3 characters I don't like
    -Drift (I don't dislike him THAT much, just don't find him interesting or charming)
    -Huffer (I don't know, I just don't like him)
    -Pretty much anyone from the Unicron Trilogy

    But as for my favorite 3, if I had to choose I guess....
    -Soundwave (The quiet guy with little guys in his chest and awesome voice, what's not to love)
    -Starscream (The scheming backstabber who I would really like to see as leader for once. Also Tom Kenny should be the official voice for SS now, didn't care for "2003 TMNT Donatello" as SS in WFC)
    -Shockwave (Dreamwave and Marvel versions)

    I'd probably have to say Starscream and Animated Ratchet, no idea about third but if I wanted to list by design it would certainly be The Fallen.

    Thundercracker- I liked his colors when I saw him in the catalog booklet back in '84 (this was pre cartoon days mind you). I grew to like his character in the cartoon because he was no frills and had an interesting tech spec.

    Wheeljack-liked his personality. I also like to work on things as well so we have that in common.

    Hound-always liked his toys. Classics Hound is one of my all time favorite figures.

    Shockwave - a more cold, calculating and severe ruler than Megatron. And, in the comics at least, we've seen more of his leadership style than Megatron's!

    Soundwave - Mainly from the UK comics. A slippery political mover who ends up leading the Decepticons simply because there's seemingly no one else capable of doing the job. A great survivor!

    Tarantulas - I thought long and hard for a third choice, and I'd have to say its this guy. A really interesting character. Starts off as just another of Megatron II's Predacon stooges, but slowly revealed as a scientist, spy and cackling loon. Brilliant. Black Arachnia came a very close second in my choice here!

    Damn it! I thought there might be some good guys I'd be listing..!

    Cybertron Crosswise- C'Mon Autobot Bounty that transforms into a Bugatti, has a cool accent and has a cool name....What more could any TF Fan want in a Transformer.

    Cybertron Ransack and Crumplezone- They are my favourite comedic decepticon duo, Their wacky antics were the highlight of the cybertron cartoon.

    G1 Ultra Magnus- I'm a sucker for Ultra Magnus, He's one of my personal favourites. I love the charecter. I wished that became the autobot leader after Prime died not Rodimus.

    i can choose my favorite 4 but i cant narrow it down to 3
    speed dial(i dont say the weird numbers ater the name of real gears)-i like the real gear robots and hes my favorite, partly because hes an autobot, my favorite faction and partially because my second favorite colour is grey(i know, thats a pretty stupid explanation but also, i like mobiles and anything that talks alot(mainly because i dont talk much). that is also a stupid explanation).
    superion.i like plane transformers that arent decepticons and a like combiners.do the math.
    movie ratchet.while i think the whole green thing is a bit stupid the toy has an ambulance repaint so that doesnt bother me.also, his toy has a hidden mini con port.
    soundwave.come on he has casset bots! isnt that reason enough!also, his altmode makeshim alike to the real gears without being one.

    Optimus Prime: I don't know how you can't like IP. His voice is awesome, his toys are always some of the best, and he just seems an all-around awesome character.

    Ironhide: I honestly don't know why I like him, but every incarnation of him is always one of my favorites in the series.

    Rodimus: He looks awesome, and is awesome. Need I say more?

    I am suprised I don't have a 'Con in the list. Soundwave usually can sneak in.

    Bludgeon: Badass, metal. Glad they made a new figure recently (thank the Marvel run and Furman)

    Rattrap: The only time that a good guy would talk back to his leader, and still be badass enough to kick Predacon Aft (BW version of course)

    Starscream: My first TF in 1984, so of course he's high up there

    Runners Up
    Sideswipe: My first Autobot in the '84 line, obvious reasons

    Ironhide: Tough, old fashioned, had almost G_13 Hot Shot tenecity
