Every two weeks, Seibertron.com brings you a Top 5 list related to all things Transformers written by me, your fellow editor. These are my opinions (just like movie or game reviews hosted by sites are still just the opinion of one person) so what matters most is what you guys think of the topic or list, and I hope to see your own lists or comments on omissions and ranking. Let's have fun! All previous lists can be found here.
Top 5 Best robo beards in all of Transformers history
This is for both toys and fiction. How robot beards even exist on robotic beings is something only the oracle knows, but I do know this: they are magnificent. They appeared on the television show first but eventually found their way to the toys too. So, who's got the best beard in the business? Read below to find out (ok, I admit, number one is OBVIOUS).
5. Wreck-Gar
I am so impressed just how faithful a goatee Wreck-Gar's CHUG toy was given. The beard itself is not as impressive as others on this list but what it lacks in volume it makes up in style. And the fact that it was replicated perfectly in toy form makes it an easy pick to start off this list.
4. Unicron
Unicron's beard is more subtle than others since it seems carved into his face instead of being a form of appendage. However, it is still there and adds to his image of a remnant from a distant past. And it's Unicron, so that makes it easily the biggest robo beard of all Transformers fiction (or is Marvel Comics' Primus' beard bigger? Comment in the forums!)
3. Thundertron
This toy came out of nowhere. Thunderton was never in the Prime show and is not a reimagining of any other character in the long history of the Transformers brand. He also isn't an autobot or a decepticon which makes his release as part of the Prime Robots in Disguise line one of the oddest inclusions of all time. But man am I happy he exists. My puzzlement over his inclusion in the line and his origin (since Alex Irvine, the writer of the only piece of fiction this character appears in, did not create him) is totally discarded by my awe of his beard. This is BY FAAAAAR the longest and most detailed beard on any Transformers Toy ever. Hence why it is so sad that the way the toy is made, a good portion of his beard is hidden by a high collar/chest.
2. Transformers Age of Extinction Hound
The movie design of Hound's beard was one of the best things in age of extinction. It was made up of bullet shells, shrapnel and scrap metal, and you could see it flow in all it's glory. While the toy's beard was done on a smaller scale, not all details could make it in there. However, the fact that it was made of a soft PVC plastic meant you could run your fingers through it. Playable beards are a win in my book.
1. Alpha Trion
Of course this is number one, would anyone have it any other way? Not only is he one of the first (if not the first) robo beard we ever witnessed in Transformers history, but this beard is glorious and has its own evolution. Shows featuring flashbacks use Alpha Trion's facial hair to help the audience locate themselves in time and know what happens before what, which is a pretty big deal when the war you are watching spans millennia. His aging beard also means that Transformers age physically, which is a pretty cool notion all on its own.
Honourable mentions: I guess maybe Sentinel Prime from DOTM, maybe? That Spock line still makes my stomach churn whenever I think of it being used in that movie and context, and I am not even a trekkie (born in 88). To lighten things up, here's another beard that needs some mentioning.

Really slow news day huh ? 
In all honesty im suprised you left out G1 Scourge. Other than Alpha Trion, we had never seen a beard on the G1 cartoon before the 1986 movie. Seeing beards used on non-elder characters was a first. And I think scourge was the biggest shocker because you saw his beard first. Later on in the movie you saw the quints, wreck gar, and finally unicorn and realized beards were the norm. But when you first saw Scourge get reformatted from Bombshell, you were like WTF why does he have a beard ? That was a pretty odd moment but cool none the less.
Honorable mention goes to DOTM Leadfoot. The beard along with the bald head, visor shades, and what appeared to be a medallion on his upper chest was a blatant homage to Miami rapper Rick Ross. Gotta love Michael Bay for that one.

no Rhinox? And what about shattered glass Rodimus.
Factoring those my list would be like this.
5) Unicron. Yes I'm putting the god of chaos here. It's just not that fearsome. It's the horns that make him more menacing. It's just like he stuck some metal on there to get into a beard only event at a robot club
4)Rhinox. The first beard rendered in 3D in the transformers franchise. And it was the beard of a mighty warrior with a gatling cannon shame then that he never got any of the shiny upgrades in the show that most of the rest of the characters got.
3) Alpha Trion. As William points out this was proof that the bots can age. In truth him and the next ones are all awesome to me but putting them as a joint 1 would seem like a cop out so A3 is at number 3.
2) Wreck Gar. There is several awesome things about wreck gar, his facial hair is just one of them. Fun fact: another one of the awesome things is that in the movie he was voiced by Eric idle, one of the monty python crew.
1. Shattered Glass Rodimus. Evil characters never seem complete without a moustache to twirl and what goes with a moustache then a beard.
There is also a fair few characters I think would just be more awesome with a great big bushy beard like grimlock and warpath.

I'd have to agree w/ all of this. Never would have considered Unicron to be bearded and Movie Hound's is by far the fullest. Like the beard of a dwarf. An excellent top 5 list.

Funny you should mention that, because I too think of Scourge's beard as "first", but because he had the first toy with distinct facial hair. That is, he and Wheelie were the two TF:TM toys I got for my 7th birthday in '86, prior to seeing the Movie, leaving me to wonder where this dramatic but awesome departure from prior TF style was coming from. Add in his shellformerness allowing for unprecedentedly awesome torso and arm sculpting, and the whole Blue-Manchu-vian package made a HUGE impression on me, well before the Movie told me who he was, or that I'd want half a dozen of him.

Thats why we have this awesome comments section. Like that we have an awesome new Beard Thread started and we can all share on what we believe to be the best beards in the business.
And as for Primus having a beard, I am basing it off the wiki which shows him with what might be considered digital muttonchops :

Glad you like him 
I want to track down his repaint but I'm not sure if he was released in the UK. The part I love about him is just all the features he has and his homage to the brave series (most notably king of Braves GaoGaiGar) through his transformation

Which repaint, there were two. There was the repaint into Omega Sentinel where he is all uniform blue (thats the one I have) and there was the year of the snake omega which is redone to be like the FOC game (and thus kinda like the classics version of the character).

Ah I forgot about year of the snake, in that case I need to track down the two of them (if memory serves me energon prime was redecod along side him. I'll need him as well)

Yup he was, good luck with the hunt! (oh and Energon Omega Supreme is also on one of my lists, but in a way you guys might not expect, it will be fun!)

Sorry for draggin the topic, but I can totally place myself in your shoes right now. G1 was before my time so I only caught up with the original shows recently since I got back into toy collecting. And I wanted an Omega Supreme toy. But the G1 was a bit out of reach and not really what I wanted for my classics collection. The Energon Omega mold answered all my needs though. He is so big and has an amazing head! But he was expensive. One local guy told me he could sell me Omega Sentinel for 70$. The deco is great so I didnt mind that it wasnt Omega Supreme, but it was still very pricey. It was pretty much the same everywhere online. Then I found on 4chan someone selling Energon Omega Supreme for 40$. YES! I paid him on paypal, he told me he sent it, but I never got a tracking number. The toy never came, the guy never replied to my messages and I had to file a paypal claim to get my money back. I got my money back, but what I wanted was that damn toy!
The hunt wasnt fun anymore. BUT 2 months later, I find someone selling Omega sentinel in a local add for 10$. Its not too close by and he isnt complete but who cares. 10$!!!! It takes me 1.5 horus to get there but I do and I get him and he is huge. The 1.5 hours to get back home was easy since I had this guy to figure out adn play with. Turns out he was only missing his missiles and a red tab for his turret pose which is nothing. And he even came with instructions!
So all in all, it was a hell of a hunt but I got him and it was worthwhile. I wish you all the best!

Nice energon os took me ages to find, it always seemed to be I never had the money or he wasn't there when I did have the money or more commonly,bills crept up. Then two years ago now I started working part time in a small independent toyshop. othan one of my tasks was to sort out the transformers that were still bagged. One of them omega supreme n...Needless to say I worked with anxiety trying to get the money together (he was about £45) until the day I got him. That was a happy day made even better by the fact that during my scrounging around I had found his instructions and the free little card that came with him. I also came across a Japanese language energon/advert

Unicrons got a nice fu man chu styled beard. Scourge fits his face nicely. Alpha trions is uneccesary.
