I guess I'd have to go with Shockwave. The fact that he doesn't transform means that his robot mode is slightly "cleaner"-looking.

Seriously? The only robots that are harder to tell apart are Barricade and Sideways and maybe Que, Jolt and Evac. Those never appear onscreen together though.

If you're talking about the Depecticon protoforms in RotF and DotM, I can see what you mean.

What's funny is I have a lot of trouble telling the G1 transformers apart. With most of them all the same vehicle parts go in the same place in their robot modes.

Who the hell is Sideways? I remember a Sideswipe who had like one line and was easily distinguished by the swords on his arms...

Oh, yeah. Can I change my vote to Sideswipe?

The G1 transformers all had different color schemes. Ironhide and Ratchet were both minivans, but one was red and the other was white, so you could always tell them apart. The Seekers were all F-15s, but you knew damn well that the red one was a whiny sycophant with a screeching voice, and there were two others, a black one and a blue one, who didn't really do anything important. Prowl and Bluestreak might have been hard to tell apart, though.

I can tell which one is Megatron, and the coneheads are easy to tell apart because their wings are different. But Starscream, Thundercracker, and Skywarp are indistinguishable. The only way to tell them apart is by color, which you don't always get. I can see a black and white picture of anyone from the movies and instantly know who it is. Except maybe Barricade and Sideways.

Is that the episode where everyone took a bath in electrum, thus wiping out their color schemes? Yeah, great example

So you can't tell them apart either? Exactly my point.

That's because THEY WERE ALL THE SAME COLOR.

Do you really think you'd be able to tell Skidz and Mudflap apart if they were the same color?

Yeah, because their heads, chests, feet, and arms are different. Plus Mudflap has the car doors hanging off his back and Skids does not.

Sure. You keep telling yourself that
