    Still waiting on a good, affordable Autotrooper. Or a G1-styled Vehicon.

    I have more Seekers than any other type of Army builder but that's more to do with their availability than preference, they're just different colours of the same guy. I have a half dozen TR Gnaw's but aside from one LG Sharkticon they are identical which is not that exciting.

    Ironically the one I prefer is the one I have no army of, Junkions. I have RTS Wreck-Gar but no Scrapheap or Junkheap yet. My hope is that we get an MP Wreck-Gar and a Junkion retool that comes with extra heads and other accessories so that we can build an army of custom Junkions. And a redeco of Hound as Detritus.

    Someone in the WFC Seige Appreciation thread misspelled either on purpose or by accident Brunt into Burt. We've been running with it since.

    Vehicons. I don’t own them but based on what I’ve seen online I wish I had.

    Prime Vehicons. Own close to 50 of those blokes between all the deluxe variations and Japanese releases. Nothing else has come close since.

    I don't really consider these guys generic, but they are my faves.

    If lookalike generics are my only choice, than it'll be Sharkticons.

    Added Vehicon option due to popular demand.

    Eradicon/Vehicon's easily.

    Though the TR Sweeps are sweet too.

    Sharkicons and insecticons maybe. And seekers, but I don’t consider them to be army builders for the most part.

    I don’t like the idea army builders otherwise. I want every member of the army to be a unique character, not a faceless drone.

    I voted Seekers. Having gotten Siege Starscream, I can't wait to pick up Skywarp, Thundercracker, Red Wing, Acidstorm, Nova Storm and Ion Storm. Since the Bumblebee movie Seekers weren't entirely uniform, I've no problem displaying the Armada and Cybertron Voyager Seekers with Siege Starscream.

    I like the Prime Vehicons. Given that we saw a few among Lockdown's forces in the MTMTE comic, I'm happy to count them as G1 characters.

    I like the Scrapmetals since I see them as Cybertronian wildlife.

    Given that Unicron used Seekers and the smaller Insecticons to make the Sweeps, I don't mind having some variety in the Sweep ranks such as G1, Titans Return and Titanium Scourge.

    Since the Firecons were army builders in the Japanese cartoons, I like to use the G2 Firecons as drones. Though I'm considering army building with POTP Cindersaur.

    I like the oversized ko of that mold and it's colour variants. They remind me of the Ground Troopers from the Devestation game.

    Sweeps. I have 5 TR Scourges and might go check that place where I for a $3 TM2 Cheetor for any more Sweeps to add to the squad.

    Those were the only figures I ever had an army build of. I have 1 first edition to lead them, then 2 each of the regular and jet vehicons.
