Not really, because this list now shows which have a greater contrast compared to other comic interpretations. You can say everyone is better, but which charcters really stand out as being so much better? Like doesnt Skids have so much more to offer in the comics than Wheelie does when you compare them to their comic counterparts?
And are you really saying that the best interpretation of any TF character is the one only found in the comics?
Because I disagree. As everyone agreed, Lockdown isnt better in the comics and I would say that neither is Tankor or Rattrap. And I preffer Prime Starscream to any comic version of the character I read. I think I even preffer cartoon G1 Bumblebee, Prowl and Prime over their comic interpretations. And Prime Soundwave over any of his comic interpretations.

I gotta disagree on this. I agree with your assessment of the TFA character but it's not enough to make him better than the Marvel version. As I said before in my opinion that version is the closest to what a Decepticon is.Kurona wrote:I suppose if I were to pick a character whose cartoon incarnation I preferred - and not cheating with someone who was never featured in the comics - I have to say my favourite version of Shockwave is from Animated. IDW and Marvel are wonderful, but there's something about TFA Shockwave I love so much more. He's so perfectly creepy and threatening and that voice is on point.

Ah yes I see now. I misread your previous post. My badKurona wrote:Rodimus Prime wrote:I gotta disagree on this.

Oh I'm not saying that it's better than the Marvel version; not sure how they'd rank, just that TFA's my favourite
IDW Arcee did leave an impression on me due to the complete 180 her character had from the G1 goody-2-shoes. So I guess TFP Arcee is the middle ground between the two.I liked TFP Arcee a lot more than IDW Arcee. Though then again I consider IDW Arcee a black spot upon that entire continuity while I find TFP Arcee likeable. Which is enough, really.
