    Scrounge. He's just cool.


    Also, on a pointless side note. Someone needs to make him a mnemosurgeon. Ye' know, special arm and what not.

    It makes me sad that so many of these G1 characters are considered obscure now.
    Not that I want everything to be like G1, but that they have interesting personalities that have really not been examined in depth.
    Hasbro seems more intent on creating new characters than exploring old ones. Don't you think at least Windcharger, Gears, and Huffer deserve to be in a new series by now?

    Beachcomber.

    I would have said Sandstorm but we're getting a kick-ass toy update on him.

    Never thought of Beachcomber as Obscure but he'd get my vote for a favorite G1 character.

    Computron, don't know if he's considered obscure anymore since there are third party toys coming soon.

    Signal Lancer, Guiltaur, Deathsaurus, Majin Zarak, Violen Jiger.

    if either of these guys got a Generations toy, I'd literally shit kittens.

    actually, I think the Autofemmes could all work as Motorcycles, but as different types of bikes.
    Arcee already has the crotch rocket street bike covered
    Chromia as a Chopper
    Elita 1 as one of those 3 wheeled motorbikes
    Firestar as a Dirt bike
    Moonracer as a Harley Davidson cruiser

    also if any of them wind up with a sidecar it would help to differentiate them even further.

    Does Shortround count as obscure, what with his zero appearances in any TF media?
