Always have wondered how you look at something and figure that out, too.

There are 4 to reveal yet, you never know what he has up his sleeve.

Actually, according to the Sourcebook, he is that Silverbolt. Of course, that came from the pen of Simon Furman, whose known for doing that sort of thing. (RE: Nefarious.)

We get Soundwave partners named Rumble, Beastbox, Ratbat and Buzzsaw for no other reason than because Simon Furman's writing it.

Wasn't thinking sorry.

I've traded in my old crappy crashy PC for a shiny new Mac (I expect my polo neck and beret to spontaneously appear at any second) so hopefully nothing will get in the way of the last four entries.
To celebrate, let's have some honourable mentions for those who didn't make the list:

"Open, dammit! Open!"
There's nothing like playing with a whole planet to make you feel like God. On the other hand there are only two planetformers (unless you count Darth Vader), they're horribly out of scale to everyone else and they make my Micromasters feel inadequate.

"Nyeeeeah, what's up, Blot?"
On the one hand, a rabbit mode is perfect for a recon agent or a scout who needs to get behind enemy lines without being seen. On the other hand, he's a bunny!

Lent his accent to Animated Blitzwing and never got it back.
Volkwagens would have been a better alt mode were they not a Bumblebee-only club.

"Now that's a well made shoe!"
Heh heh. Yeah. Good times.

I have Sparkstalker and never knew anything about him. I knew he was obscure & am glad he was on the list. Strange looking to me more than cute.
Diem ----your list. Need moar.........

am hopin that the cityformers/basebots are somewhere in the top 4 (unless i missed them) along with futuristic jets, construction vehicles and rescue vehicles, arachnids... interplanetary vehicles... alt modes that require some sort of explanation when they appear in your bedroom as an adult (countdown..)
