Hey, I liked that surfboard...

Now if you are going to put in Optimal Optimus, go all the way. Throw in his land vehicle and Gorrila alts as well.

Wow, someone actually recognizes my little rag tag fleet of damage soakers? Notoriety is a new concept for me.

Predacons - Not got as many opinions on them

The land vehicles seem too terrestrial. You kept the vehicle alts on the Maximal list very futuristic, Cybertronian, but a lot of the Pred vehicles look really normal. The Gobot (Vamp?) is a great choice there (kudos!). Would add TM Tarantulas's Vehicle Mode, Cybertron Ransack, and BM Thrust in lieu of some of the others on there.

The tanks are good, but seem like they beg the addition of Botcon Megatron's Missile-Tank Alt, TM Scavenger's Drill-Tank Alt, BM Tankor, and most of all, TRANSMETAL RAMPAGE'S TANK ALT.

There are a lot of spiders scattered about - similarly, would be nice to have more Ants I think, as strange as that sounds. Maybe one under the Dangerous or Ferocious Land Animal category.

A snapping-turtle alt in a class that has the Bite Tactic seems like a gimme.

Is the Ebirah Alt supposed to be on there twice (Mega and Headmaster Animal)?

The Air Vehicle Class could lose the Energon Starscream in favor of TM Waspinator's Vehicle-Mode; Terrorsaur as well if he would come out looking right.

TM Cheetor and TM Airrazor would both be nice to have shared to the Maximals. And the Duck seems more like a Maximal Alt than a Predacon Alt.

If there is still space that needs to be filled, I'd consider some of RID Galvatron's Alt Modes - I only spotted one on there so far.

Oh, and the Preds need a Rancor.

Oh so much to talk about...

Predacon Campaign Ad #1

If necessary, move the Starfish to the Preds.

Uhm no thanks, you keep it.

What ever happened to the Transmetal I Cheetor/Tigatron alt (the one we have right now)?
Seems like it is better than some of the feline alts that are currently on the Maximal list. Ah, I see, he's currently a Predacon Alt.

Hell yes to Thrust, Meh to the rest.

We're not all spindly little bugs.
Stop Stereotyping

mine!Mine!MINE!

the Duck seems more like a Maximal Alt than a Predacon Alt.

Yeah take that one...

Oh, and the Preds need a Rancor.

I think I love you.

shame about that les paul

hey now, thats not nice to Rub it in!!

Have fun playing your BC Rich the right way!

Replacing one or two of the Maximals' more mundane bird-alts with some more bat alts would be good.

We've got one bat alt:

and all these:

Keep some of em sure, maybe the booby and the canary, but...

Well, I know I've made more than my share of suggestions/recommendations/complaints, but I guess it comes down to this - As a Maximal, I'd like to be able to say the Pred Recruitment Sigs weren't true, but I can't.

It seems like the Maximal Alt List has a lot of variations on a theme (tons of cats, tons of perching birds, tons of cute Pokemon), at the cost of more ferocious or at least cool or exotic critters.

Additionally, seems like the Preds get a lot of creatures that are canonically Maximal (mammals, birds, fish, and molluscs), while the Maximals get very few creatures that are canonically Predacon (reptiles, amphibians, arthropods), except for the arachnids. Also, the Preds get a lot more Dinosaurs, even though at least as far as the toys were concerned the good guys got tons of them through the Beast Wars and Beast Machines.

Boobies is just one of the many perks to being a maximal

here is a thought for the GO PREDs sigs

with the maximals (food) alts turkey,pig,fish,bull for starters,the preds have one nice menu to hunt

Don't be on the Menu
Go Pred

That is what I am saying. I would like to see more of a variety with some of the species available for the Maximals.

Maximals need two more bird alts: a chicken and a fried chicken alt (possible idea for a triplechanger).

Yeah, and you need a possum and a pile of Roadkill for a triplechanger to combat

Shoulda made a booby sig... but i really can't knock that one.

Soon to be Sig quoted.

I'm fairly certain I'm going Pred, but I want boobies!

Actually, us Maximals have plenty of Dragons too, but you see, we have the better variety, we also have quite a few land dragons(example, Windy's character Raider).

Plus, imo, your maxy pad and sisters alts are really the ones that make the most sense, since you Preds have plenty of bird alts aswell. You also have a few cat alts yourselves, and the tools, decepticons have those aswell so there your dissing your own allies too pretty much.

Raider? That kitbashed C-Scourge ripoff?

Well technically he is ...
But it's not like Thunderscream has kitbashed any of his own characters now has he?
And if he has I don't recall seeing them.
