Prowl 4 lyfe!
then Optimus!

nay sir optimus prime is the coolest.

I had tons of transformers when I was little. My mom was horrified.

my favorite was one of the Decepticons who was a plane, but not Starscream. Cant remember his name at the moment.

edit: no maybe that purple laser gun one....shockwave?

I always liked the Constructicons, myself.

Voro, the black one that could create sonic booms or the blue one that could teleport short distances? I was a freak for teh Transformers!

black one masteen

GRIMLOK DINOSAUR! RAWR!

Megatron from Beastwars owns everything.

-edit oh the other plane was Thundercracker. And by the way, this is the best poll ever.

beast wars? get the fuck out of the thread.

Optimus Prime > all. Grimlok is a close second. I can't believe any of you freaks voted for Starscream; nobody liked that whiney gimp.

Prowl - Optimus Prime -Grimlok - Soundwave
top 4!
Prowl OWNED
He had the coolest head with the red wings and blue eyes, he was a Z-28 cop car and he had bad ass wings AND HE had TWO BAD AS PLASMA Blasters - he OWNED
I WENT COMPLETLEY APESHIT IN THE MOVIE THEATRE WHEN THEY KILLED HIM IN THE MOVIE THAT WAS SUCH BULLSHIT BUT THEY LET FUCKING BUMBLEBEE AND CLIFFJUMPER LIVE??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
omg im going outside now and walking around call center - bad flashback of 6th grade.

Call centers suck teh cack. I hear you Sylvos, i'm off for a smoke.

Optimus prime teh win~

I dont remember all their names... but I know I really liked Mirage's power to turn invis (unless I was on crack as a kid, that's how I remember it).

I liked the two tapes that turned into an eagle/hawk/bird and a panther that came out of soundwave.. those were probably my second favorites.

Bumblebee was always one of my favorites (I know, he sucks), because I was the smallest kid in my class (I'm still basically a midget), so I could relate.

The movie turned sour when Optimus died and that faggot Hot Rod became "Rodimus Prime." I'll never forgive the show's writers for that misstep.

Who was that one who never talked and he had a little robot panther or dog or something inside his chest? I think he turned into a walkman or radio and the little guy in his chest was a tape. That guy was badass.

I always like that laser guy decepticon who stayed on the transformer homeworld.

I forgot his name, but he was always a real calm character with good plans.

he had a couple of different tapes he could pop out.

he had a couple that were pteradactyls and a couple little guys who would make earthquakes and shit.

in truth he was the baddest motherfucker of all.

There's a great link to all the characters here:

My favorite from my childhood was Sideswipe, a red Lamborghini!

"I don't break rules, I bend them - a lot."

Profile: Although nearly as capable as his twin brother Sunstreaker in the combat arts, Sideswipe is far less cold-blooded about it. He thoroughly relishes engaging an opponent in a fight to the finish, and will use any dirty underhanded tactic he can think of to come out on top. Back on his homeworld of Cybertron this conduct extended itself to the rest of his lifestyle: getting what he can out of life, enjoying it to the fullest, and cheating to get the rest. His exile to Earth hasn't changed his behavior, just his cause - now instead of doing everything for himself he does it for the sake of freedom for all. Personal safety takes a backseat to his reckless, but brave actions.

Abilities: In Autobot mode, Sideswipe's two arms can be used as piledrivers. Each exerts 8000 pounds of force upon impact with up to five impacts per second, making him particularly useful in close combat and for breaking through fortifications. A rocket back-pack can sustain him in the air for two minute spurts before refueling is necessary. When launched, two shoulder-mounted magnesium phosphorous flares can each be seen from a distance of 18 miles on a clear night.

Weaknesses: If it weren't for his rash behavior, Sideswipe wouldn't have any serious weaknesses. But as he often acts without consideration of the consequences and takes a special delight in plunging into extremely dangerous situations, Sideswipe, more than any other Autobot, finds himself being patched together by Chief Medical Officer Ratchet. Naturally, he takes his injuries in stride.

The guy who voiced Optimus Prime did a voice on Knight Rider where he was an 'evil' KITT named KATT




Rumble kicked ass.... he turned into a CASSETTE!

Voronwe,

Skywarp - Black F-15
Starscream - Grey/Red F-15
Thundercracker - Blue F-15

There was also Ramjet, I believe.

Transformers > all.

What the heck was the name of the Red/Maroon Decepticon plane that had turbines in the wings for VTOL?

I know I had that one...grr...its gonna bother me now.

-V

I liked Transformers a lot, but for me, Robotech was my favorite childhood cartoon.

Robotech > Transformers > All.

On a related note, I fucking HATED the stupid Gobots!

gobots are the worst ever

Bumblebee all the way!

Found him....it was Thrust.

http://www.thetransformers.net/characters/thrust.html

Did anyone notice that Matel got the rights to use the term "GoBots" somehow and have a line of Transformers meant for smaller kids called "Transformers: GoBots" (They are made with thicker plastic so a 3 or 4 year old won't break it in 2 in 30 seconds)

From what I remember, the majority of my transformer toys were some sort of metal rather than plastic... there were a few plastic ones, but not nearly as many as today.

I cant believe Ironhide isnt on this list ;( his vehicle sucked but his attitude was teh win.


Hehe anyone remember that insanely gay transforming city?

I hated Ironside thats why =D

Best Weeble:




Weebles wobble but they don't fall down!

The Big Bird weeble is in the lead!

Winnow dont you fucking even dare try to derail a Transformer thread.
we will fuck your ass up autobot style
we are the generation of Hasbro toys we are all insane.
DONT MESS WITH OPTIMUS PRIME

Guess I reversed the colors on the two old jet Decepticons.

My fave was always Soundwave, 'cause it was the only toy I could ever smuggle into school. He looked very cool in both forms, and all the mini cassettes were teh powar!

another GREAT transformer aside form the top 5 I listed was DEVASTATOR.
the Contructicons owned and I remember when Grimlok and the Dinobots owned him.

Man...I miss those days of getting home from school and parking my ass in front of the TV to watch Transformers followed by He-Man followed by Voltron then Robotech.
or getting up superearly to watch G.I.Joe and M.A.S.K. before school.

sigh...memories.

BONUS QUESTION

Who sang the Transformers theme song for the movie?

Bah! Micronauts, made by the Mego Corporation pre date the Transformers. I guess most missed them. They were the coolest series of interchangeable space toys ever!

OMG... SO YES! You bring tears to mah eyes! Those were THE days! I'm actually rewatching Robotech on DVD! Sylvos and I must be kindred spirits. =D

It was also the song that Marky Mark and his pr0n costar were trying to sing towards the end of "Boogie Nights."

WTF! No Jetfire! This poll sucks! Nothing beats the Robotech Ripoff!

Edit: Soundwave was pretty cool, too...mainly for the voice. Ravage! Eject!

I love Jetfire. Sadly, the only reason I love him is because he is a Robotech ripoff.

The Transformers (R) (Theme)


Artist:White Lion

Producer: Richie Wise
Arrangers: Vince DiCola, Lion
Engineer: Chris Minto

Something evil's watching over you
Comin' from the sky above
And there's nothing you can do

Prepare to strike
There'll be no place to run
When your caught within the grip
Of the evil Unicron

Transformers
More than meets the eye
Transformers
Robots in Disguise

Strong enough to break the bravest heart
So we have to pull together
We can't stay worlds apart

To stand divided we will surely fall
Until our darkest hour
When the light will save us all

Transformers
More than meets the eye
Transformers
Robots in Disguise
Transformers

Autobots wage their Battle
To destroy the evil forces
Of the Decepticons

It's judgment day and now we've made our stand
And now the powers of darkness
Have been driven from our land

The Battle's over but the war has just begun
And this way it will remain til the day when all are one

Transformers
Transformers
Transformers
Transformers
More than meets the eye

I like the chick in the yellow suit.... wait, no that's power rangers

Loved Soundwave in the show, hated the cartoons. Even at age six I thought that it was gimmicky. Though Cutthroat was my favorite one of all.

*sighs* It was Lion, not White Lion...White Lion truly sucked..Lion had talent, but never did anything with it:) Stan Bush did secondary vocals, though not main vocals for it...

Winnow is correct. Micronaughts >> all.

The Touch


Artist: Stan Bush
Writers: Stan Bush, Lenny Macaluso
Producer: Richie Wise
Engineers: Tony Papa, Jamey Dell

You got the touch
You got the power

After all is said and done
You've never walked, you've never run,
You're a winner

You got the moves, you know the streets
Break the rules, take the heat
You're nobody's fool

You're at your best when when the goin' gets rough
You've been put to the test, but it's never enough

You got the touch
You got the power

When all hell's breakin' loose
You'll be riding the eye of the storm

You got the heart
You got the motion

You know that when things get too tough
You got the touch

You never bend, you never break
You seem to know just what it takes
You're a fighter

It's in the blood, it's in the will
It's in the mighty hands of steel
When you're standin' your ground

And you never get hit when your back's to the wall
Gonna fight to the end and you're takin' it all

You got the touch
You got the power

When all hell's breakin' loose
You'll be riding the eye of the storm

You got the heart
You got the motion

You know that when things get too tough
You got the touch

You're fightin' fire with fire
You know you got the touch

You're at your best when when the road gets rough
You've been put to the test, but it's never enough

You got the touch
You got the power

You got the touch
You got the power


This song was sang when Optimus Prime comes to the rescue of the autobots trapped in Autobot city on earth when Megatron and his Decepticon Minions try to invade.
The YOU GOT THE TOUCH....YOU GOT THE POWER ....YEAH
part kicks in when You see Optimus in Truck mode bust through and you see the reflection of the insecticon and Ramjet get knocked out of the way before he flies into the air and transforms and starts kicking serious ass.
the song is also played again when Hot Rod takes the Matrix of Leadership and opens it and becomes Rodimus Prime.

yes...I have too much time on my hands.

Which one could transform into a big lasergun?

NM found it


Shockwave!

Why isnt he on the list? 8D
