Top 5: Transformers (G1)

Top 5: Transformers (Generation 1)

In anticipation of Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, (which despite it's bad reviews is still going to be guaranteed eye candy), I've compiled a list of my favorite morphing robots, (of which I know at least two of them will be in the movie). Take note that I am a child of the 80's, so these are all from the original toyline, cartoon, and comic.

5. Blades- the most violent Autobot; this pistol-packing rescue copter fights with bloodlust, and with his fellow Protectobots combines into the heavy duty Defensor.
4. Onslaught- the Decepticon tactician and anti-aircraft truck rolls with a sonic stun gun as he always develops a strategy that gets him ahead. Ballsy enough to once try and overthrow number 3 on this list, Onslaught combines with the other Combaticons to form Brutus, one of the strongest Transformers alive.
3. Megatron- You've got to be the baddest of the bad ass to oppose the G that is Optimus Prime and Megatron does that nicely. The leader of the Decepticons transforms into a Walther P38 but doesn't really need to due to the hefty fusion cannon he carries.
2. Grimlock- The leader of the Dinobots transforms into a T-Rex and carries a big ole energy sword, what more do you need? He values only strength and is probably the only other robot on the same level as Optimus and Megatron, despite sounding like a caveman.
1. Soundwave- 1st off, he transforms into a giant boombox (and what child that grew up in the 80's doesn't love a ghetto blaster), 2nd, he's like 10 bots in one since he rolls with his tape collection; some of the standouts being Laserbeak (a condor spy), Ravage (a panther with guns), and Frenzy (a tiny psychopath), and 3rd, he spoke with a vocoder before it was played out. He was also one of Megatron's most trusted generals (the one that held him as a gun) and had some form of telepathy. Hands down, the coolest robot ever.
