The Greatest Non-G1 Legacy Transformers Ever (2012 Update.)

[Ode to a Grasshopper]

Knockout is cool, but he's G1 legacy. TF Prime Soundwave is cool too and not even close in alt or bot mode to his G1 version, but we can't add him to the list.

Knockout VS Knock Out.
Technically he still counts.

How about Beast Machines Tankor?

Prime Knock Out technically qualifies as a non-legacy character from G1 Knockout - the names are similar but technically different.
Seriously, don't worry about it - it was really just a semantics joke.

well technically no he doesn't , the names are different but similar. just like we cant have optimus primal , knock out, is still knockout

what about sideways from armada?

If you want TF Prime Soundwave, then I want BW Rampage -- who only had a namesake but zero personality resemblance to the G1 Predacon

I quite liked the introduction of Sideways into Unicron Trilogy, he was interesting enough. Too bad his Movie appearance was only getting cut up sideways.

Definite new additions so far:

Depth Charge,
Tankor,
Sideways (With hindsight, I'm surprised he wasn't already on this list,)
Slipstream.

Even though Knock Out and Blackout are controversial, I think they come close to not being G1 legacy characters, since it's name reuse of completely different G1 toys who had no notable history or canonical appearances.

(And Transformers Prime Soundwave is totally a legacy of G1 Soundwave - he has the same face design, works in communications and has a bird partner called Laserbeak who comes out of his chest.)

Possibles if people agree they're notable enough:

Team Bullet Train
Sari

Goki - Razorbeast is already on the list, and I'm pretty sure 99% of Transformers fans don't know who Universe Overcharge is. A taxi is a cool altmode though, and he's a concept that deserves some canonical development.

I wasn't seriously trying to get Prime SW on the list, just saiyan :-D I just realised that there are no new characters to come from WFC/FOC, unless I'm wrong? Would be a pretty cool idea to have an addon of side missions introducing a couple of bots from each side. Kind of like the addon a for GTA. While I'm wishing for things how about they add a print/order button to the character customization area. Select chassis, head, shoulders, arms, legs, weapons and then press ORDER for your new toy to be manufactured and mailed out to you.
