I read these quotes from the back of G1 Transformers boxes over and over back in the 80s. These polls will be an effort to determine which one is the best.

Blaster When the music is rockin', I'm rollin'

this sounds like it's supposed to be a pun, but they gave it to the one that doesn't actually turn into a car?

maybe he meant that cassette players feature many rolling parts:

Broadside sounds like the Ralph Wiggum of Transformers.

voted doublecross. I'm sure it makes sense because it has two heads or something. but I felt pretty high after reading it.

― scopin' VARs (Sufjan Grafton), Monday, 9 July 2018 18:10 (seven years ago)

He is a Monsterbot that turns into a two-headed dragon! That must have been after I tuned out.

these guys sure are anti-war for a bunch of giant robots bristling with weapons

now I am wondering whether it is the bot and one dragon head or each dragon head talking

"Among the winners, there is no room for the weak" is a suspiciously complex sentence for a Dinobot.

true winners could rent a larger banquet hall with ample extra room for weak

― scopin' VARs (Sufjan Grafton), Monday, 9 July 2018 18:50 (seven years ago)

should be "Among the winners, there is ample room for the weak, but it's reserved for winners' activities."

― scopin' VARs (Sufjan Grafton), Monday, 9 July 2018 18:51 (seven years ago)

Long John "At the Fish Fry for Winners, the weak are tartar sauce." "In the Tartar Sauce for Winners, the weak are lowly gherkins."

Scooter "When I'm scootin' by, you'd better watch your toes...on both feet! Now outta my way, I've more fun war to do, which is bad."

"Among the winners, there is no room for the weak" is a suspiciously complex sentence for a Dinobot.

As its a formal announcement, amongst should be used. So the bad grammar is in keeping with the Dinobots "no time for formalities, all time for clobbering" worldview.

Voted Beachcomber because he's got it all worked out.

These are great, excellent poll. I went for Cosmos' sweet sentiment added to ambition.
