You forgot Daytonus!
There's a LeMans spychanger and I missed it?!? That's a must buy.
I'm amazed by the number of supportive comments and fantastic suggestions in this thread. That said, it's time for round two of
Honourable Mentions(or "I could've been a contender.")
"While my arms fly into space my body will go round and round on my wings and legs."
I'm gonna go a bit tl;dr for a minute: When I was young, my mum taught me a valuable lesson about saving money (that utterly failed to impact my adult life). While visiting relatives we spotted Metroplex who usually retailed for 40 quid IIRC on sale for 20 quid. She agreed to buy it on the proviso that I don't open the toy until I'd saved up enough money. Since my pocket money then was 2 quid a week I spent 10 weeks staring at the outside of a box. It was totally worth it though.
Although it's important for an army to have a good, powerful base, it kinda sucks to BE that base. After all, you have people inside you the whole time using your toilets and scuffing up your floors, and the only time you get to stretch your legs is when there's some kind of massive threat approaching. It would be like Superman's secret identity being not Clark Kent, but instead a filing cabinet at the Daily Planet offices.
Now DJing at a club near you.
Really construction vehicles should be on any good list of Alt modes but to be honest, I've never had much interest in them. For me there are several important factors to a good Alt; coolness, sleekness, speed, firepower, cuteness, quirkiness or being a tanuki all ranked high while practicality ranked low.
While I have nothing against construction vehicles (G1 Mixmaster is a Shakespearian witch in transforming robot form and the likes of Armada Hoist and Energon Landmine are great), the thought of writing a full entry about them, having to include all of them, arguing about the different international names of excavators and trying to make the whole thing entertaining, vaguely accurate and funny just kills me. As I said before if anyone else wants to write a full-length Honourable Mention I totally support that.
"FOR THE COLONY!"
And it's the same for fire engines really. RiD Prime is fantastic, G1 Hotspot is okay, but the rest bore me to tears.
"You can call me...Wheeliejumper."
Mindwipe is one of my favourite G1 figures but he isn't enough to outweigh the camel-faced Ratbat, the ugly Sonar or Nightscream.
"Da da da Look at my head. It's so crazy, look at my head. I got big ol' head, hey ho. All right show's over, I'm tired."
I would include heads, but a warrior doesn't need a head, just a good strong body.
Okay so entry #3 will be coming reeeeeal soon.
