Ahahaha. All good choices. The sheer diversity in what can be transformed into is one of the things that make the meta-franchise such a great thing!

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

Wow... the thread got news'd... Congrats Diem, the little thread that could is now news!

Awesome thread diem. I agree with all your picks. You should really put in "Construction vehicles" or something like that. Come on, these guys are awomse alts, like Rotf Rampage and Long Haul.

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.)

What happens in Nefarious?

Wow! What a great list! I cannot wait until it is complete!

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

Diem wrote:Thanks guys! On with the list:

#23: Guns and Weaponry

How could you forget Browning?

Anyhyew, on with the list:

#18: Tanks

Nice selection, but i list Titanium Megatron and Animated Blitzwing.

why are you two quoting whole posts? that's a lot of unnecessary scrolling! how about just the title and a link back to it?

anyway, saw this on the front page and can't believe what I've been missing out on! this is a great countdown, I'm anxious to see the top four

Wasn't thinking sorry.

Wow! I'm incredibly overwhelmed by all the positive response and by the newsing! Thank you everyone. Although some of these entries have been a lot of work to write I've appreciated the support all the way.

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.

"He's got a vicious streak a mile wide! Look at the bones!"

this is great!! A history of TF with humor!! Very funny stuff. Russell Brand should be punched for taking Katy Perry off the singles market & impregnating her.

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.........

cool list and entertaining writeups

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..)
