Ok, I've done Autobots and Decepticon polls so now it is time to give love to the maximals and Preds(coming soon). Here is the senario: Optimus Primal is dead, only this time, he is not coming back. Sparks fly as Primal didn't specify who would lead upon his death. The whole thing turns into an all-out brawl. The winner is whoever is still-standing, still conscious, or alive (probably don't wanna go THAT far). Some of the combatants are dead, or not in the series at the same time but just think of this in an alternate reality. None of the combatants are Transmetals.

I'm thinking either Tigerhawk, Silverbolt or Rhinox. I don't remember much about Depth Charge, but I'm still sticking with these 3.

And again, I can't decide who.....

Tigerhawk, no contest.

:shock:

it took the Nemisis (with a fusion canons) to bring him down and some scared angry writers...

Otherwise it's probably a toss between Cheetor TM2, BA TM2, and Depthcharge (TM triple changer w/ drone targetmaster and flight mode)

tigerhawk takes it. then i think either dinobot, depth charge or rhinox would come second. dinobot would be in alot of trouble at the start dealing with depth charge, or tm2 cheetor, but i think in the end he could overcome cheetors lack of experience, depth charge might prove too much for him though.

and rhinox is undefeated as far as a i know in one on one combat. he doesnt go all out often, but when he does hes a beast, hes taken inferno in a short time, and physically he can throw around the much taller dinobot with no effort. if he got angry enough i think hed be a major contender. in the end ill probably say depth charge comes second mainly because he seems like hes the maximal who probably has the best chance of taking out rampage, which is next to impossible. and he has a pretty decent flight mode.

Given Tigerhawk is a TM fuzor with elemental vok powers he's either excluded or you should be counting other TMs

As much as I like Rhinox and Dinobot there is just too big of a gap between there organic form and a TM2...

Cheetor at the end had the hotrod effect showing a level of maturity. Being the only mech as fast (or faster) as Dinobot's TM2 clone and possible flight got to count for something.

Black Arachnia has KO'd Dinobot with melee in season 1. Now she is not TM1 like Tarantulas but TM2.

As others pointed out Depthcharge actually has the best chance of taking rampage one on one... and has enough gimmicks to take Dinobot's clone.

Rhinox still has his strength but his armor and speed are way below the others league now that they are TM2. His chain guns are his only hope of getting close enough to use his strength.

Dinobot's strengths are his melee ability, and speed. His eye beams are not that effective and useless on Depthcharge's wing shields. Organic Dinobot is slower than most TMs and all TM2s. The mobility of his foes nearly negates his superior melee ability.

As awesome as his death ep was Dinobot essentially out smarted a bunch of predacon jobber idiots. He ambushed one, then let some come to him, used a pred for a shield and let them almost defeat each other with lousy team work. Megatron toyed with him and lost because of it. But it was still cool.

Unless Dinobot is the undertaker and the fights at wrestle mania... those three just aren't loosing.

If you're still not counting TM then Silverbolt is the next choice as his fuzor enhancements match him up with TM Cheetor but with considerably more fire power...

:-?

maybe you should have just listed the basic beasts

Dinobot was always my favorite. If I were to vote someone else it'd be to hard to decide. Tigerhawk owns, Depthcharge owns, Rhinox owns, TM2 Blackarachnia owns, TM2 Cheetor Owns, Tigatron owns. Rattrap was awesome, and Airrazor wasn't near my favorite bots. So....for my vote it's DINOBOT

Dinobot is definitely my #1 choice, but Rattrap is a close second. Dinobot is undefeated in melee, taking on Inferno, Blackarachnia, Waspinator, Rampage, Quickstrike, and Megatron. In that order. And he won! Rattrap is second in command of the Maximls, however. I just cant pick one...

Wait...I can't beleive Tigerhawk isn't #1. In the Other Victories, he annihilates all the Preds with ease! Then he pretty much pwns Megatron, and then (kinda) Optimus. It was only due to Tarantulas' sneakyness that he was defeated.

I can understand why Dinobot is #1, he did after all defeat all the Preds in Code of Hero, but he did it not as easily as Tigerhawk, and it cost him his life to so.

Just my 2 cents.
