Even Wheelie.
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.
G1 Cartoon Prowl? I can certainly see why you'd like Prime or Bumblebee more, but... cartoon Prowl's greatest achievement is that he existed. He didn't do anything. All the power to you but I find myself very confused.
While I can't speak for Marvel as I haven't seen him in that yet - if he is in it at all - IDW Wheelie is a pretty good character I find. His Spotlight alone made up for every single one of his lines in the cartoon and made me
actually like his rhyming gimmick. How do you do that? How do you make me like that? It's genius.
Aaaand personally speaking, while their TFP incarnations are amazing and certainly in the top 3, the IDW incarnations of Starscream and Soundwave just knock them out of the park for me. TAAO has made Starscream one of the best characters in the entire franchise while ex-RiD/OP giving Soundwave a peaceseeking approach makes him much more interesting and relatable as a character than ever before. Hell, Issue 22 Soundwaves alone makes him fantastic.
... just gonna say it here, I prefer IDW Tankor to BM Tankor too.
