Starscream (Movie) vs. Starscream (Animated) vs. Blitzwing (Animated) vs. Bonecrusher (Movie) vs. Soundwave (Animated)

Asking cuz Im doing a small crap stop motion for graphic design class, so I though id use transformers. So if you guys can fill in details as to who should win and how some battle segments should go, that would be wonderful.
Notes: These are the only toys I decided to use, for I just started recollecting (well stopped at the moment) some toys.

Bonecrusher should win! He could topple over those flimsy Animated figures with his claw!

Well, here's my idea:

Bonecrusher rushes through a bunch of cars (Hotwheels) and transforms. Soundwave sends Laserbeak on him, but Bonecrusher smacks him out of the air with his claw. then he gets it knocked off by Animated Starscream, who proceeds to join up with Soundwave. Angry at the loss of his grabbing claw, Bonecrusher deflects all the missiles that Animated Starscream shoots at him, and then flips him over. Soundwave blasts waves of music at Bonecrusher, (Which is the hardiest robot at this point) but Bonecrusher prevails and kicks Soundwave off the table. Suddenly, Movie Starscream and Animated Blitzwing swoop down on Bonecrusher and injure him badly. Bonecrusher hobbles off and hides behind a cardboard box, while Movie Starscream and Animated Blitzwing engage in an aerial dogfight. Starscream hits Blitzwing with a missile and kills him. Starscream then transforms and does the disco on the ground, but then Bonecrusher falls on him.

haha thanks Badass Grimlock. Some difficult parts would be the flying, since I don't get how they make objects fly during stopmotions, so im a noob :sad:

I will take some parts of your battle information, thanks again.

Fishing line? if you suspend them from it and move the othercharacters around them along with the camera you can create the illusion of them moving. its a reverse perspective thing.

Or you can just throw them and snap pics really really quick

Greenscreen?

Depends if the video editor you use supports chromakey or whatever it was called..
