Cool. I have bookmarked these for later. I probably should get a hold of a movie ratchet before I write this. (I have been meaning to get one now I have an excuse)
Let me know when you need this done by. Ironically I am attending a lecture at a fire station today, otherwise I would be getting my ideas outlined. I suppose the universe is telling me to get inspired.

I mainly know the more popular media. So I fear that if I were the one writing this, I might end up being wrong. For instance, the first that came to mind was Tigerhawk. But I don't know the club stuff. So it could happen that I write him as number 1 and then the first comment is : WTF Bro, Tigerhawk was so prominent in that Club storyline!
Its a great topic, I just dont really know how to approach it as a list.

I'd be tempted to include Skullgrin (terrifying zombie bull demon), Submarauder (also terrifying Gigeresque merman monster), Cloudburst (out of all the Autobot Pretenders I probably like his shell the best, has a really nice "80s OVA" look to the armour), Bludgeon (because not only has he actually done stuff in fiction but let's be real, a skeleton samurai is AWESOME) and Thunderwing (great shell design and the most fictionally important Pretender ever).

If you can write a blurb on each of those (like 4 sentences) and rank them, I could handle the pics and make it an upcoming list
When you have your list written, copy paste it here and let me know when its done and I will move it so others dont see it yet
Black Hat wrote:Sure! (Alternatively I could PM it to you if that's alright). I love contributing to these lists, they're a lot of fun.

Black Hat wrote:Speaking of alternate modes, I had another idea: "Top 5 best Transformer toy Earth aircraft modes" for toys with very convincing, or just plain cool looking, air-based non-cybertronian vehicle modes (excluding helicopters). MP-03 would probably be the winner as his F-15 mode is an actual thing of beauty, but some other candidates IMO would be the ROTF Breakaway mold (which is a very clean F-35), the 2007 Dreadwing mold (aside from the "sensor pod" that forms the legs, he's a pretty accurate MiG-29 Fulcrum), ROTF Highbrow (whilst not a perfect approximation, he makes a really nice P-38 Lightning) and maybe ROTF Ransack (not only does he turn from a functional robot into a goddamn biplane, but said biplane mode is actually a surprisingly accurate rendition of an Albatros DIII, with only the arms being a major departure from the real aircraft. I'd pick Ransack over Divebomb as his colours are more period accurate, as AFAIK the Red Baron, Manfred von Richthofen, flew a Fokker DR1 Triplane). I'd be more than happy to help with that list, as I'm a big plane nerd and my knowledge of things with wings might be useful for selections/writeups.
