Now there's some love! Mirage was the first Autobot car I picked up when I discovered the wonders of ebay in my uni days.
Honestly all of these options are deserving (well maybe not Blurr but no one has chosen him yet).
I just love all of the Autobot cars. Of my G1 collection they have spent most of their time displayed in alt mode, while the rest have always been in Robot mode.
Sideswipe. Great G1 toy. Also my first. Also best alt mode.
Special mention to runners up Bluestreak and Mirage.
TF Figs of 2024:
1) Legacy Magmatron
2) Legacy Gears
3) SS102 RotB Optimus
Sideswipe > Red Alert > Sunstreaker. Common theme; all Lamborghini Countach. My favourite car. I prefer the transformation of Sideswipe to Sunstreaker so I voted for Sideswipe.
I honestly can't answer this poll, I am loving these great polls that Gok has put together and until this one have been no brainers for a click on the poll, but the Autobot cars are just all so super rad happy time for me.
As a kid I just ogled the catalogues at the amazing toys they all were and even as an adult I still can't pick an outright favourite, sure there are some weak moulds but to me these are all the ultimate in toy playability (not that I play with my toys *looks at the OP writer*)
It would be easy for me to say my first Autobot car is my favourite which was Bluestreak but I didn't have him for very long because I broke him in the usual spot behind his neck, so Mum sent him back to Hasbro and they sent Wheeljack as a replacement, which is one of the more sturdy moulds. I also have a soft spot for him, and so begins my conundrum.![]()
I still function.....................while killing threads. ;-)
"Car" is merely used as the name of the sub group rather than a descriptor for the alt mode. Similar to how there are non-car Mini-Cars, such as Powerglide, Warpath, Seaspray and Cosmos! And while Swoop isn't a dinosaur, he is classified as a Dinobot.So while Grapple is not an Autobot car, he is an Autobot Car.
Although this makes me further appreciate why Combiner Wars Powerglide is now an Aerialbot, because A10 Thunderbolts aren't cars!Some people whinged about it, but it makes sense.
Also why CW Blast Off is a fighter jet instead of a space shuttle... cos good luck winning a dogfight in a shuttle.
