WillyJ,

All great choices.
Prime Starscreams facial expression is totally psychotic.
I love Magnus as Dictator. Those colors totally evoke some kind of militant oppressor's uniform, and the hammer of skewed justice just drives it home.

Thanks for playing.

Do you think this game is OK here in this thread?

I'd say so. I think it fits with the topic very well and it's fun.

@Delta -

Great picks. All three.

Yup.

Let's try keeping images to Seibertron.com galleries or personal shots though!

Oh yeah, totally. Sure beats what I had in mind for games in this thread (top 3 of different lines, size classes and categories). I will ask those eventually, but for now this is much more fun. And I knew you'd like that Magnus pic, one of my rare strokes of genius.

There is a noble knight archetype I feel a few figures have. My pick for that one would be DOTM Leader Sentinel Prime. He looks like a beefed up version of the knight guarding the holy grail in The Last Crusade.

This is a good idea, and fair play.

Funnily enough will, I was thinking of doing a thread of the favourite molds of each series, and asking people to be polite over the more marmite of toy lines.

Then how about this, we will keep this archetype game till the end of the week-end. And then, Monday, I will make a post starting that. I think this is super thread appropriate and I look forward to partake in it. Its better we keep it in this thread since it's actually quite favoured on google (due to it's many image links linking back to this thread and its prevalent title). And we will make it image heavy so that outsiders can be lured by all the greatness and beauty of Ryan's pics. Don't think I will be able to do much for G2 and Armada, but I look forward to the rest. I have a kickass answer for RID (the old one) all ready! You can message me with what lines to include and if we should seperate the movies and other lines apart (like CHUG).

That sounds fantastic

Don't worry if people don't have any or limited experience with a line then they don't have to. If people just want to talk about their favourite line then that's fine.

For the current one I'll post later, been thinking a lot about these.

how about the thrillseeker?

News Credits: 41 · by **Cobotron** » Wed Dec 10, 2014 2:31 pm

Well, that kind of is his character, but nothing says Thrillseeker like a good flame job.

Yeah, or the wildcard character. Which is fun since watching the old shows, he was wiser than I expected (with a super deep voice). But in that pose, I totally see him as Briggs.

Captain: Dammit Hotrod, you need to be more cautious in a fire fight. Use one of our tactical suits.
Hot Rod: Screw you captain, I want the villains to know that when they mess with the Rod, they get the fire.
Captain: You get the F*$k out of my office now!
Kup: Getting too old for this sh!t

The Psychotic, or Blood Thirsty Lunatic.

ROTF Breakdown

The Town Drunk

Beast Machines, Silverbolt

May I present my choices for Skilled swordsman (swordsmen)

I believe his sword speaks for itself

Nuff said.

Now psychotic. ..This one springs to mind

Also I feel like I should talk about the virtues of the Animated toyline in a discussion like this as that was excellent at getting characters across through design alone. I would post pictures but then I would be here forever as posting on my phone takes the mick.

Another entry for Psychotic, Beast Wars Scavenger:

I don't care what people say, I want this guy so bad. Drills + mechanical bulldog ant + articulated insect legs + awesome chrome = WANT

News Credits: 1350 · by **ZeroWolf** » Wed Dec 10, 2014 4:38 pm

I have him and can guarantee that he is awesome, he doesn't need hands for his job.

News Credits: 41 · by **Cobotron** » Wed Dec 10, 2014 4:50 pm

Ya. Despite all that arm kibble, he is one of the most interesting and entertaining character designs out there. His transformation is neat too.
Definitely track him down.

ZeroWOOOOF,
Great entries. I was thinking Drift when I wrote "Skilled Swordsman".

The BOUNTY HUNTER:

Beast Hunters Night Shadow Bumblebee!

Look at this badass mofo. If this guy is after you, you can kiss your ass goodbye!

Another solid entry from Kanrabat.

Another Wizard

Prime RID, Thundertron
What a great name.

Another Dwarf Tank

Prime BH Cyberverse, Bulkhead

EDIT:
Sorry WJ88, just remembered you put Thundertron as The Old Timer. He works for both I think.

News Credits: 41 · by **Cobotron** » Wed Dec 10, 2014 7:38 pm

The Mob Boss, or King Pin

Energon, Ultra Magnus

The Noble Knight

Beast Wars, Wolfang

The Old Timer

Beast Wars Transmetals, Rhinox

Its all good. He works as the Wizard with both his feet but if you replace one with the stump he gets more of a veteran look.

Here's either the clown or the drunk uncle who gets overly touchy:
