Hello, forum.

So I’m curious to see who’s popular in this capacity, so here are the rules:

tell me your top five favoritest autobots/maximals/cybertrons

Then tell me your top five favorite decepticons/predacons/destrons

If you feel that this undersells mercenaries/quintesson guys/unicron guys that aren’t decepticons/transmutates/mistress of flame and her bots/etc., feel free to give them a top five as well... go ahead. I could only think of like seven of them, so it seemed a little too narrow for me.

Currently mine are as follows:

goodies:

5) Big Convoy (liable to change when I’m done with Beast Wars Neo, but I am liking a Prime with personality)
4) Optimus Prime
3) Wheeljack
2) Grimlock
1) Kup

baddies:

5) Soundwave
4) Tarantulus
3) Starscream
2) G1 Megatron
1) BW Megatron.
