Always have wondered how you look at something and figure that out, too.

Actually, according to the Sourcebook, he is that Silverbolt. Of course, that came from the pen of Simon Furman, whose known for doing that sort of thing. (RE: Nefarious.)

We get Soundwave partners named Rumble, Beastbox, Ratbat and Buzzsaw for no other reason than because Simon Furman's writing it.

why are you two quoting whole posts? that's a lot of unnecessary scrolling! how about just the title and a link back to it?

anyway, saw this on the front page and can't believe what I've been missing out on! this is a great countdown, I'm anxious to see the top four :BOWDOWN:

Wow! I'm incredibly overwhelmed by all the positive response and by the newsing! Thank you everyone. Although some of these entries have been a lot of work to write I've appreciated the support all the way.

I've traded in my old crappy crashy PC for a shiny new Mac (I expect my polo neck and beret to spontaneously appear at any second) so hopefully nothing will get in the way of the last four entries.

To celebrate, let's have some honourable mentions for those who didn't make the list:

"Open, dammit! Open!"

There's nothing like playing with a whole planet to make you feel like God. On the other hand there are only two planetformers (unless you count Darth Vader), they're horribly out of scale to everyone else and they make my Micromasters feel inadequate.

"Nyeeeeah, what's up, Blot?"

On the one hand, a rabbit mode is perfect for a recon agent or a scout who needs to get behind enemy lines without being seen. On the other hand, he's a bunny!

Lent his accent to Animated Blitzwing and never got it back.

Volkwagens would have been a better alt mode were they not a Bumblebee-only club.

"Now that's a well made shoe!"

Heh heh. Yeah. Good times.

this is great!! A history of TF with humor!! Very funny stuff. Russell Brand should be punched for taking Katy Perry off the singles market & impregnating her. :evil:

I have Sparkstalker and never knew anything about him. I knew he was obscure & am glad he was on the list. Strange looking to me more than cute.

Diem ----your list. Need moar.........

by **frogbat** » Sun Apr 11, 2010 10:29 am

cool list and entertaining writeups

am hopin that the cityformers/basebots are somewhere in the top 4 (unless i missed them) along with futuristic jets, construction vehicles and rescue vehicles, arachnids... interplanetary vehicles... alt modes that require some sort of explanation when they appear in your bedroom as an adult (countdown..)

by **Mathius** » Sun Apr 11, 2010 11:25 am

My only criticism is that while the subject is about alt modes, you continually reference their robot modes and don't provide pics! For someone who went through that same phase most kids do to abandon their toys between the ages of 12 and 20 something, I find myself stopping to have to look stuff up left and right in the toy gallery.

First time I've logged in for ages.

I'm guessing #4 is going to be dogs, if he was leaving us a clue.

However, if it wasn't, then this should be the Final four

#4: Bats (Ratbat, Mindwipe the Headmaster, and the original OPtimus Primal figure)

#3: Space Shuttle (Astrotrain, Blast Off, Sky Lynx)

#2: Fire truck (G1 Inferno, Hot Spot, a Micromaster, and occasionally Optimus Prime, because having Optimus as a semi can get old, and Fire Truck is the best alternative choice for the most heroic individual on wheel that requires something with some size)

#1 : Penguin (Hey, it's just Break, but you don't get better than a penguin, period. Just wish it was a Rockhopper and not an Emperor, alas.)

I think he's already covered Ratbat.

Him too, back under Weapons/Targetmasters.

I thought of another possibilities

Cites/Fortresses: (Tryticon, Metroplex, Fort Max, G1 Omega Supreme)

There are plenty of pics of alt modes. Since most of the discussion is alt modes they are what is pictured. If you are using your skills to look in the toy gallery, well, good job!

You can't expect Diem to do everything.
