TF:A... still hasn't hooked me.

He seems to have a fixation for a bigger baddie monster from Cybertron then anything else AND leans on Unicron too much. The IDW isn't much different. All of it's OK though.

Maximum Dinobots should hopefully be fun. All Hail is the one that's confusing me. It doesn't seem, nor does the Blurr Spotlight, connect up with the prior comics.

TF:A worked for me after sitting down and watching it. Not badly done.

Dunno about TF:A... I watched a few episodes <6. The humans are just too goofy for me... and Lugnut too. Bumblebee is annoying. Otherwise it is okay.

Who are your favorite TFs?

I liked the show, because in the end, it struck me as being similar in story and tone as some of the 80s independent titles were like. Try watching more, you may change your mind.

Mostly Optimus Prime, Ultra Magnus, Hot Rod/Rodimus, Megatron/Galvatron, Starscream...........numerous others, mostly Autobots.

It depends on which show. With the recent one.......Bumblebee, Bulkhead, Rachet, Optimus, Prowl, Starscream, Blitzwing and Megatron.
The rest are kind of a take or leave sort of thing. Although Blurr was catching me as well as the Starscream clones.

Beast Wars......Cheetor after Optimus and Megatron.

I liked a bunch, some because of the toys, some because of the characters. Usually liked the Primes/Primals but like in comics, tend to like the lesser characters more. A smattering:

Sideswipe, mostly cause I liked the Countach as a kid (even though I wasn't really a kid by the time TFs debuted)...


Hound. Always thought he was a "nice guy"


Grimlock... just fun...


Springer... Just struck me as a pretty cool character from the movie.

(don't like that image)

Prowl... liked his design. Feel kind of sorry for him.

Rattrap was another fun one.


I loved a lot of the toys from the Japanese BW series. Wish I could have seen it (though I have heard mixed things)...

Rockbuster


Gimlet


Diver


Scuba


Ikard


Not a decepticon or Predacon in sight.

Geez, you must be around my age or close to it.

I can't recall some of the more recent cat characters from the other T shows of late. I bought a number of Cheetor figures.
