Best TF comic book fight.

Like the title says. TF comics have been around for over 30 years and there were some serious ass-kicking going on in some of them. Do you have a favorite? 1 that you remember and just think "wow, that was awesome!"

I'd say anything involving Galvatron from G1 TFUK.

Although most likely the epitome would be Galvatron vs Ultra Magnus from Target: 2006.

- Stunning pencils + inks, highly kinetic
- *Painted* colouring
- Dramatic and interesting narrative (half of the fight told in flashback)
- The fact Furman had the balls to build up a hero as the good guys' ultimate fighter than have him dramatically - and soundly - beaten in the final panel. "Emerging from the conflagration" or whatever it was... amazing... It was, in hindsight, incredibly sophisticated and risky to have an unbeatable bad guy in a comic for kids back then. Seminal in TF lore.

Motto: "Can't do a job halfway. What's worth doing is worth doing well, I say."
Weapon: Saber Blade
The entirety of Marvel G1 #75 "On the Edge of Extinction!" One gigantic fight against Unicron with all of our heroes and villains fighting against impossible odds with every loss further emphasizing the sheer futility of their resistance. And yet, they continued on regardless, giving it their all, trying to hold on to the last glimmer of hope they had, all proven valid in the end when graced upon by a miracle that came with one of the most heroic, selfless, and overall best deaths of Optimus Prime we've ever had.

"They were the dream--Mechanical beings able to transform their bodies into vehicles, machinery, and weapons; a last line of defense against the Chaos-Bringer, Unicron. The battle is done. The story told. But life goes on, and the story of the Transformers--Is far from told!"

G1 Omega Supreme was bad-ass. He wiped the floor with the Decepticons.

I heard the Devastator v. Omega Supreme fight in All Hail Megatron was pretty good.

The Megatron vs The Predacons/Predaking and Shockwave vs The Dinobots show why g1 is the best.

Weapon: Fusion Cannon
A couple of more recent ones that come to mind are the fight between Optimus Prime and Megatron during the IDW Escalation mini, if just for this scene:

Image

Another is the recent fight between Galvatron and Arcee in Transformers #37, which took the combatants into space and back.

Image

Galvatron got the worst of the fight.
