Sky-Byte. Haiku jackass!

 

What a fantastic 1984 character!

 

Reflector. Literally no personality. Useless in his inexplicably triplet robot mode. No clear advantage to his combined alternate mode over the Decepticons sending Laserbeak or just using an actual telescoping camera. Disappeared by the end of season 1 and nobody noticed or cared.

 

Megatron Soundwave Shockwave rumble Lazorbeak, The seekers the Constructicons Stunticons all the Decepticons death to the Autobots

 

I see myself as a little bit annoying, whiny, and for sure at some point, dour with a grating voice. I sort of detest myself for that. So I sort of detest Huffer.

So what do I do? Ordered a BC Huff... It's coming in next week for me from Toy Dojo.

 

Hmm for some reason, Skywarp is really meh for me besides in Animated. He had a cool deco but he's usually a generic thug.

Nitro Zeus has been compared to Skywarp and i have to say, I wouldn't have been opposed to the character having that name.

 

i just hate all of them

all of the transformers

 

You guys make some valid points.
Personally, I love all of them so my "least favorite" isn't going to be one I specifically dislike.

So I will have to go with any of those guys who were treated with little characterization so...Windcharger?

 

Shortpacked! was pretty funny early on, when it was mostly about fandom and toy collecting. He sorta had the "toy collector" niche cornered too. Then it turned into a soap opera and got preachy. (And I agree with Willis' politics, but I hate being preached to when I'm there for something else.)

 

Even early on it was about shitty drama with a few toy jokes in the back.

 

Hunt down a webcomic called "Turn Signals On A Land Raider" if you want to see niche webcomics done right.

 

By "the entire run of fictional characters from 1984 to 2017" do you mean they have to have been present off and on throughout that time? Or at any point spanning the franchise's history?

If the former, then I'll go with Bluestreak or Hauler.

If the latter, then ... Primacron.  

 

Seaspray and Warpath were downright painful to listen to in the G1 cartoon.

Chip also comes to mind. Boring, predictable character just doesn't do it for me.

Defensor is another one, although he's more Season 2. Just another wasted generic big dopey bot made up of more generic dopey bots that already exist as autobots that don't combine (Inferno, Prowl, Red Alert, Ratchet)

 

Probably Reflector he always seems to be utterly useless. But I guess somebody had to be the test dummy for the space bridge.

 

Mirage and Hound

These choices aren't because I dislike their actual characters, but because the writers used them (and Trailbreaker) as the ex Machinas whenever they needed a lazy way out of a situation.

 

How can anyone hate Gears. He got to team up with Spider-Man.

 

Mind wipe isn't a talking bat. He's a humanoid robot that transforms into a bat. Rat bat has no humanoid form.

Oh and I hate Transformers without proper robot modes. All cassettes except Rumble, Frenzy, Eject, and Rewind. Sky-Lynx, Trypticon. I think they should be beasts or vehicles or triple changers not beast to vehicle. The beast mode should not be the robot mode.

 

Whats wrong with animal forms when a humanoid form is acceptable? Humans are animals too.

 

I hear that argument a lot from Vegiterians and Vegans but it's not true. Animal is a distinction of non-human life forms, to claim otherwise changes what that word actually means and basically makes it meaningless since it's only purpose is to provide a word that refers to things that are not human. Of course we also have beast for that and there lies the answer to your question.

In the context of Transformers a Beast mode and Robot mode are separate things with the robot mode being Humanoid. Transformers who ignore this distinction between two different modes and make the beast mode the robot make no sense. This would mean that proper Beastformers transform between two different robot modes or that these things don't have robot modes. It makes about as much sense as making a transformer with two modes, they're both vehicles and one of the vehicles is some how also robot mode. How can it have a robot mode if all of it's modes are alternate modes? How is Ratbat's bat mode a robot but Mindwipe's bat mode is a beast? They're both bats, they have to both be robots or both be beasts. But some how in Rat bat the Bat is robot mode and the cassette is his alternate mode while Mind wipe has a humanoid robot mode and the bat is his Alternate mode. Having a distinction between two modes makes no sense when sertain characters use a completely different distinction between their modes. It should be universal for all Transformers that a robot mode must be their humanoid form and beast modes are alternate modes.
