I'll see the BW Rampage suggestions and raise them a BotCon 2000 Shokaract, Universal Overlord:

Funny you mention ol' Shokaract as I was considering him. The thing that ultimately put me off (aside form my love of the colour red) is that I hear that his chrome is RIDICULOUSLY prone to flaking off like so much shiny shredded cheese.

It is a gorgeous colourscheme though. It's a shame the molds are probably long lost and that they don't do reissues of Club exclusives (especially considering he was, IIRC, a product of the 3H days) because I'd love to see a reissue of Shokaract with fixed chrome. In fact a reissue of BW Rampage would be awesome too.

How do you get more badass looking than being a towering hulk of a machine with a giant cannon for one hand, and a giant claw for the other? Oh, and a tank turret for your head? You don't. Omega Supreme is the ultimate bad ass bot.

You make him into the Autobots' greatest weapon to ever win the Great War and secretly be the main cast's ship, of course:

ugh ... it's an Omega Supreme lovefest thread again. We know how these end.

This is your fault Billy-Jim, your continued anti-Stalker attitude has caused this!

For what it's worth, I'm rather fond of Stalker too. He's just so gloriously 90s.

No one going to mention ROTF Optimus Prime - with or without Jetfire stuck on him ?

That's a good call, actually. I'd also like to suggest DotM Megatron and even 2007 Leader Prime.

Hey y'all, chiming in a bit late here, but I think there are a few we are forgetting...

DotM Wreckers come to mind, especially Topspin's deluxe toy and Roadbuster's human alliance figure. Those were sweet. Not to mention AoE Hound and Nightwatch Optimus Prime (pretty much anyone) plus recon Ironhide RotF. Movies have given us some pretty awesome transformers.

As did Beast Hunters. That deluxe Bulkhead is so awesome, as is Wheeljack. Those wings man!

Hell yeah on that Wheeljack! And I will be getting that bulkhead soon. But to me, he will be prime Roadbuster

I guess my vote for "biggest badass" would be DotM Shockwave

I dunno, 'badass' is a frustratingly vague term and a character trait I find rather dull. Like, to be badass you have to be powerful and be able to beat everything to death, or something? Eh. I mean, I do like characters that can beat everything to death, but I always look for something more than killstreaks. Shockwave here appeals to me because he's absolutely nightmarish, what with the sideways jaws, the ribcage, devil horns, and eye that practically glows in the dark.
... which could also be considered "badass", even though nobody else listed has those kinds of traits, hence my point about the term being so nebulous.

That was intended more as a conversational gambit to encourage thought on that topic than a literal statement that no one had mentioned him at all.

We really underrate Beast hunters. And good for you for that Bulkhead! I love that guy!
