Favourite transformer character?

[Sinclair-Speccy]

As the topic name suggests, who is your favourite transformer character from the Transformer franchise? They can be from any faction and continuity. Mine has to be Blackout from the Bayverse movies as his design is cool as heck although the Blackout from the Generation 1 continuity looks silly

- Bayverse Blackout. Deisgn goes hard fr.

- The Micromaster Combiner Blackout (with combined partner Spaceshot grayed out). This design is so silly!

i don't know much about transformers, but when i visited my grandma's house as a small child, i played with my dad's (or one of his brothers') Starscream transformer, i think it was from when they were first released? since they were kids around that time. it was grey and had a wobbly head and wings. it had no missiles or anything. that one was my favourite though. i pushed the aeroplane around a little track with my hot wheels, and gave the robot a funny voice when it was in robot mode. i haven't interacted much with the franchise since, but i liked the first movie. i wonder whether the transformer is still at my grandmas house.

but anyway my favourite is probably Starscream just because of that memory.

[Grimlock]

i'm very privy to grimlock of course but there's a ton of other character designs are are very cool!
for example transformers animated's shockwave, his design stands out and even though he doesn't show up much in the show he makes a huge impact. i especially like the touch of his face being shaped like a coffin. plus his toy includes being able to turn into his autobot spy disguise!

i do really like animated grimlock though, the cartoonish twist on this character design really stands out. and the overbite on both modes is neat for empathizing a t-rex's strong bite. he's a pretty good modern take on a g1-ish grimlock, while updating him from the 80s tail dragging reconstruction. i do wish the show had the dinobots a little more but they have their stand out moments.

fun fact animated's grimlock was the first time in one of the tv shows that they made him more accurate! and the jurassic park influence is still on his design to this day, you can see it on earthspark's grimlock because of the way his wrist pronation isn't making his hands face inward and to each other like we know it would be on a theropod dinosaur like t-rex!

All-time favorite is IronFist/Fisitron that was seen in IDW Publishing's TransFormers ! I also love Cosmos and Ultra Magnus. I had a handful of toys, but they were taking dust so I gave them to kids. I mostly own comic-books about them now. The series started again at Image Comics under the SkyBound label (owned by Robert "Walking Dead" Kirkman) and it's currently drawn and colored by Daniel Warren Johnson.
