This fanpost on Blogging The Boys (a Cowboys blog) inspired me to make discussion.

Basically what is the best football team you can make out Transformers. Basically you have.

Team Cybertron (everybody)
Team Autobots (any Autobots, Autobots only)
Team Decepticons (ditto)

One more thing, the offense must be a legal American Football offense (examples Pro Style, Shotgun, Wishbone, etc).

I was thinking of this very same idea recently. Didn't really think it through, though...



And I doubt the plays make a difference, as long as all the positions are correct. (Such as WR, LB, QB, RB, etc.)

Anyway...these are all Marvel G1 comics incarnations:

Autobots (starters and backups):

Owner: Primus
GM: Alpha Trion
Coach: Ultra Magnus
Assistant coaches: Wheeljack, Perceptor, Prowl
Team doctor: Ratchet
Jerry Jones: Kup
Towel bitches: Wheelie, Daniel

QB: Rodimus Prime, Jazz, Silverbolt
RB: Ironhide, Springer (power), Sideswipe, Blue Streak (speed)
WR: Mirage, Blaster, Blurr, Tracks
TE: Slag, Smokescreen, Trailbreaker
C: Omega Supreme, Computron
LT: Sludge, Snarl
RT: Hoist, Inferno
OL: Grapple, Broadside, Scoop, Skids, Jetfire, Brawn

LB: Grimlock, Optimus Prime, Hotspot
DE: Metroplex, Fortress Maximus
DT: Sunstreaker, Wreck-Gar
S: Red Alert, Streetwise, Groove, Blades, Swoop
DB: Fireflight, Air Raid, Skydive, Slingshot

Decepticons (starters and backups):

Owner/GM/Coach: Megatron
Assistant coaches: Shockwave, Onslaught
Team doctor: nobody (they die on the field; Megatron doesn't care)
Towel bitches: Rumble, Frenzy

QB: Soundwave, Cyclonus
RB: Razorclaw, Motormaster, Runamuck, Runabout
WR: Starscream, Skywarp, Thundercracker, Dirge, Ramjet, Thrust
TE: Wildrider, Breakdown, Dragstrip, Brawl
C: Devastator, Abominus
LB: Astrotrain, Octane, Rampage, Tantrum, Headstrong
DE: Scorponok, Trypticon
DT: Snaptrap, Dreadwind, Darkwing
S: Shrapnel, Kickback, Bombshell
DB: Blast Off, Vortex, Divebomb

That's the best I can do right now. I've been awake for almost 25 hours...

The main article gave me a chuckle lol.

Transformers wise, theres so many characters you could put in, so I'll just name a few.

You put Blurr on KR and PR and "Don't Kick To Blurr" will be a Cybertronian slogan.
Put Lockdown on CB, his name says it all.
Demolishor on DE.

Don't buy your supplements from Swindle! You'll be banned from the league for substance abuse!

I'm bringing this thread back to life... Not sure how I missed it the first time around. This is awesome! I've been thinking about how cool this would be as a video game- combine Madden NFL and Transformers: Earth Wars!

Okay this is strictly G1 characters from American Cartoon and Comic Series- 80's up until now(hence, Impactor). No Gestalts, no City-Formers, no Cassettes, no Micro, Action, or Powermasters. Headmasters and Targetmasters allowed. List Format: Starter/Backup(Emergency). Multiple Players could/should play both ways and/or special teams...
