Saw this on digg:

Don't agree with their choices 100%, but it's funny.

I Lol'd.

Guy seems really Harsh, though it does point out, Astrotrains World Domination plan, well, it sucked.

Still, I never knew Prime sent Vacuums into battle....

poor Soundwave, but c'mon he's a spy, reads minds, records data etc etc making him at least 6th and Wheelie 7th I mean c'mon!

Best line from the whole article.

Eh, more mean-spirited than funny. Though I do agree that Wheelie should be on the list, but not for the reasons he gave.

Good stuff!

More accuratly, which TF's have the most useless ALT-modes/Abilities would have been a better title.

Soundwave is usefull for his cassets and knowledge of infiltration. Perceptor is brilliant and Computron is a genius. However, dudes that turn into Tape decks, Microscopes and giant robots that ponder, not so useful.

Wheelie should have been higher on the list. I also agree with his Astrotrian comment, pending Astrotrain ever uses tracks, half the time he was in train mode he was on the ground. For that matter, he hardly ever turned into train mode.

^ yeah he only used train mode for cool dramatic exits

TF's to train mode, hits high speed, makes a drop, tfs to shuttle mode and flies off

Thats why
Abominus > Computron

Unless the script calls for a reversal of that, which was at least 95% of the time.

I lol'ed

But other than that, leave Soundwave and Perceptor alone. Those two were kick ass. Whoever wrote this article must have forgotten that cassette tapes were in style and a microscope was cool to those who watched the series. What i am stunned is that they pick on Soundwave but not on Blaster... If you are going to bitch about how useless cassette players are, then please pick on Blaster

Best Line: "Right off the bat, we're disappointed in a Transformer who has a motto that isn't “I'm a giant robot who fucking loves fighting other giant robots.”"

Thanks to Smkscrn GT For This Great Sig
