    To be honest I'm more interested in seeing if there's a one true Nitro Hera to chase after the one true Nitro Zeus with her one true rolling pin.

    I envision an entire cybernetic Greek pantheon, doing zany sitcom shenanigans between smitings and cosmic cataclysms. It would be the greatest Transformers movie ever.

    Curses, my beautiful keikaku is foiled

    Once again, the day is saved(?) by bad producers, terrible directors, and absolutely rotten screenwriters!

    I agree this is subjective, but if you were to poll each of the characters that would be where, at least, the popular opinion lies. No one will agree on everything but the majority usually rules. Toys, I'd go with the Voyager knockoff sized Optimus Prime. I know in that I would probably be overruled by others loving MP10 Prime. But this again goes to personal favorites, and I favor my main leader characters (Optimus, Megs, Rodimus, and Galvatron) around the 7 1/2" size figure, thus making larger characters like Jetfire and Ultra Magnus to not be hugely oversized (shelf space), and combiners don't have to be 2 foot tall, etc.. I'm slightly straying off topic, but just a reference point to one media and how my personal preference may vary, or be the minority as far as the definitive toy. As for characters, G1 is my definitive for those characters that were introduced in that first little mini-series and introduction to the Transformer universe.

    This is subjective, but G1 tends to have the lion's share.

    Whoops I guess I shouldn't have asked the OP to clarify in the instance it was related to toys.

    No worries, as long as toys or comics don't dominate the discussion, then it's fine.
