    How 'bout a boy and his toilet bike? (I really do love M.A.S.K., though :p )

    Prowl based on his tech specs where he was depicted as logical and extremely patient. Not a prick.

    Thundercracker based on his IDW portrayal minus the dog.

    Nightbeat voiced by Christopher Walken.

    Personally I never liked G1 Bumblebee or Optimus Prime. I do like movie Bee and the talking through the radio gimmick.
    I like movie Optimus from the 07 movie and Bumblebee. I also liked Bay Prime having a retractable faceplate. I've never been a fan of faceplates.

    I don’t know who I would have voice Nightbeat, but it wouldn’t be Christopher Walker.

    I'd rather we not focus on any one character and instead focus on the team.

    But if you put a gun to my head, maybe a rotation from series to series between different versions of Arcee and Hot Rod.

    Kup was never fun. One of the worst G1 designs.

    Springer compared to Beast? Han Solo and an intellectual geneticist?

    Hot Rod was great in the 86 movie and Titans Return.

    I thought he looked like a futuristic El Camino.

    Ratchet. A responsible and unnasuming person who you can always depend on.
    Perfect role model for kids.

    For a kid friendly character, I might actually think of Hot Rod.

    U might hate him, but he is really the most prominent kid friendly Autobot next to Bee. Not only that, he has a really cool design, and if done well he can be a great character.

    to me, it doesnt suit Bumblebee to be the bad-ass they made him in the movies, that leaves nothing for the other characters who were better suited to battle and its one of the problems i have with the Bumblebee movie. but like others have said in this thread, i dont think a single character should be elevated above others the way Bumblebee has, the franchise is about so many robots that it feels extremely wasteful to just focus on 2 or 3 the way the franchise has been handled in recent years

    I feel like maybe hot rod should be the badass, while bee the underdog. Bayverse bee definitely does not feel like an underdog
