    I have to say, largely on nostalgia, I think the Stunticons are my favorite combiner team. Despite having the silliest name, the least convincing backstory, and a leader figure that makes the limbs look small enough to be digits, I have always just loved their overall aesthetic. They're basically a nihilistic group of disturbed, pissed off thugs who are muscle cars and a tough ass truck. They're sort of the outcast outlaws of the Decepticons.

    For my least favorite, I have to admit I thought the Predacons were kinda lame. But that's just because I've never been one to care for beasty altmodes.

    Fave: Combaticons/Stunticons/Constructicons

    Mainly because of their team dynamics, its so much more interesting to see how a team who basically barely tolerate each other, work together.

    Least: Don't really know them to hate any.

    There's no comparing the impact of seeing Devastator for very first time on the old cartoon, so he'd be my pic. Superion at a close second since he was the first good-guy combiner, and he had an awesome intro.

    My favorite team is the Aerialbots, They're what I call "Death from Above". If they want to, they can fly above the Decepticons and drop everything they have that goes Ka-boom and/or turns into a giant mushroom cloud.

    I generally like all the combiner teams, they've all got something about them that I like, especially 'toy mystique' for most because I've only had G2 Devastator, Superion, and Bruticus.

    Though I don't dislike the Combaticons, I never understood their (what seems like) mass appeal. Maybe I need to watch those late S2 eps again but they were never as cool as the others to me. Any insight anyone? I know they're "Starscream's Brigade" and overall 'Con badasses, but I always thought that role was much better filled out by the Predacons in the fiction.

    Favorite: The Combaticons

    How can I not pick the team that has Onslaught AND Swindle?

    Least: The Technobots

    They were just boring.
