If I were being cynical and detached, I would say that Transformers:Hair Metal::Thundercats:Indie

But on the other hand, I still use Mumm-ra as a euphemism for 'really really good', and no Transformer's name has entered my everyday lexicon. Although I have resolved to name my first child Powerglide.

Also there were the political overtones of the Cats fleeing their stricken planet and facing a sour welcome from the locals on Third Earth.
I also liked the way at the end of every episode Snarf did something daft and the Cats all laughed solidly for about 20 seconds before the end credits rolled.

The best thing about Transformers the Movie is the bit at the beginning when Ironhide begs for mercy and Megatron shoots him in the face. It is the greatest dramatisation of pure evil in cinematic history.

Too young too properly remember the Transformers TV show, but I did have some toys I think.
What are people's feelings on Matt Trakker and MASK?

"AND NOTHING! you belong to me... *mumbles* ... now"
dont try and mask forgetting to turn yr script page with deep artistry dude! also its fun to reimagine orson as floating megatron vs the studio unicron cos the convo mustve been the same! "nobody summons orson" "then it pleases me to be the first!" "yr bargaining posture is highly dubious"... he was in a wheelchair by then right?

I am under 30 - I watched TF and TC in my youth, and had the toys. Therefor, toys of my youth. Why a funny thing, hmm?

In Furman's stories, Rodimus: * briefly lost the Matrix through his Achilles' Heel (Arcee).* Got one-hand slapped by Galvatron in the last Galvy story (Time Wars). Optimus then stepped in and saved the day.* Causes the downfall of Cybertron in the future by absorbing Unicron into the Matrix and then having the evil influence corrupt him.* Didn't get a tenth of the capable leadership treatment Prime, Grimlock, Megatron and hell, Magnus got.
He was rarely in them because Furman thought he was a lame-ass for real.

On the original question: Transformers wins by the distance from Earth to Cybertron. Mostly cos of Shockwave who was the coolest cyclopean one-handed robot/giant laser gun EVAH. Also, he didn't lose his shit like Megatron did all the time.
Mumm-Ra seemed like the least effective villain in the world. He was DEAD half the time.
― robster (robster), Wednesday, 3 March 2004 17:09 (twenty-two years ago)
it is an indie revivalism worse than trucker hats.

thanks for the info Barima, i can't remember when i stopped reading the comic but it wasn't long after Time Wards...the Underbase? Starscream becoming the size of Unicron! there were three Decepticon dudes running CYbertron by then - all the stuff you describe is totally unknown to me tho (but the Matrix absorbing Unicron et al sounds cool, when exactly did all this happen?)

See? How great would that be? Starscream plugs something into one to suck energon out of them; Soundwave has one infect him only to "hatch" out of his tape deck, leaving him unharmed; greatness and explosions ensue.

Comparing the renewed TF mania to trucker caps is loony tune-ness. Thanks to Beast Wars, they never really went away.
Oh, and where's the Soundwave love?

stevem underbase was from the us comic anyway no? for rodimus try remember the post target 2006 stories death's head was in, like the brilliant one where they r all chasing each other in the sewers. and the one where a surprisingly philosphical soundwave as decep leader almost ends the war and calls a truce but sez something like "no, things have gone on too long now" and doesnt. bah my memory is wasted
