    "Badass" is thrown around so much I've forgotten it has an actual meaning...

    Somehow Shockwave made it onto the list but not Rodimus? Blasphemy.

    Just turn on the propaganda machine and claim that everyone who chose other were thinking Rodimus. If no one who voted other refutes it then you can draw the conclusion that you're correct.

    I have not read all of the IDW comics so I can not comment on their contents, however I feel like Rodimus was a severely underused character in Transformers. I can't gauge how powerful he is supposed to be when compared to any of the characters i am more familiar with.

    According to his Tech Specs He is every bit as powerful as Optimus in G1...infact 1 higher in Speed and Firepower. But I didn't get to see him use it enough in any of the mediums I've seen to draw the conclusion that he is that awesome.

    I voted Grimlock for his brute force and imposing size. If I had to choose a group of most "badass" characters across a number of continuities, comics included, this is what it would look like:

    Grimlock (most badass in FoC and IDW, IMO) Size, brute force, and widely considered the most powerful Autobot

    IDW Tarn: Leader of the Decepticon Justice Division. Sadistic, imposing, wears the Decepticon insignia in the name of Megatron. Hobbies include torture, classical music, and conversational warfare.

    Sixshot (G1 Headmasters, IDW): The six-changer-phase-sixer..razes planets..etc..

    IDW Overlord: A phase-sixer who is large in stature, destroyed Fort Max without breaking an energon sweat in Last Stand of the Wreckers, and it took an entire Wrecker outfit just to take him down. His obsession with Megatron has driven him to the brink of madness..while destroying any Autobot that crosses his path.

    TFP Soundwave (youtube "vs Airachnid"): I absolutely loved how he was a mute in TF Prime. His loyalty to Megatron is second to none. I always loved how Starscream served as the #2, but we all knew who operated outside the chain of command, and who the real #2 is..He is not to be messed with.

    Bludgeon (Marvel/IDW ): the Pretender with a Samurai skull-face..need I say more?

    Impactor (IDW): The former leader of the Wreckers. Large in stature, brute force, and no fear. He was responsible for delivering the final blow to Overlord in LSOTW..

    The Fallen (Dreamwave): The guy is always on fire..yeah

    Straxus: "..so terrible was his rule that even Megatron gave him a wide berth, and treated him with the respect due to an equal."

    Honorable mention:
    Movie-verse Ironhide (the weapons specialist at his finest)

    TFP Predaking: a beast in every sense of the word.

    AOE Lockdown: Hopefully Mr. Gunface sees a significant amount of screen-time. You don't just own a giant ship, have a transforming gun come from your FACE to take down Optimus, and take Optimus prisoner hanging upside down to be tortured and NOT make a "Most Badass" list..

    Er....The Wreckers are the most badass characters.

    They'll just risk nearly anything.

    Movie Optimus is hands down the most badass TF ever. Most people say Grimlock. This Prime bitch-slapped him.

    Well, it's got to be Unicron innit? Until he got killed by a plot macguffin he was nigh on invincible and ate planets for a living, killing entire civilisations while he was as it.

    Edit
    Batman wins. Erector holding aloft his magic sword? Who can beat that?

    Had Galvatron been on the list, I would've voted for him.

    From the list, I chose Shockwave. He steamrolled both the Autobots and the Decepticons when he showed up, beat Megatron around when he tried to object to Shockwave assuming command, and his "Are All Dead" cover could possibly be the second most copied element of Transformers behind the vastly overused "One Shall Stand".

    One issue is that badass is an overused word, which results in it being largely watered down and far too many things being called badass.

    Though if the question was posed with every generation in mind, I would probably go with Dinobot (BW).

    Forced to select Grimlock (who's really my second choice), because Whirl was left off of the poll.

    How Rude :)

    Grimlock, all go and no regrets, unless someone manages to talk sense to him.
    Ionhide, all go with little restraints.
    Megatron, no one tells him what to do.
