Who is your favourite G1 Gestalt?

EDIT: What the? Where is Computron on the poll???? Surely he deserves a slot above Japanese only gestalts that few would have gotten?

Mea culpa! This board doesn't allow me to edit polls so any Computron votes will need to be manually done so via replies on this thread. Je suis désolé.

Haha no worries. Curious to see how high he ranks given the buzz so far for Unite Warriors Computron.

It shouldn't have any bearing on this poll since we're only looking at our childhood favourites. The one thing I loved about the 1986-87 gestalts was the way that I could mix and match the limbs between teams. Here's a photo of me (blue collared shirt) taken in January 1988 where I've mixed my Technobots and Protectobots to form a hybridised Defensor.



I don't remember why I didn't bother attaching Defensor's parts on. I know that I had them because I still have all of them even today. I must've just been ceebs.

Nice childhood shot! Some of my favourite photos are one's of me opening up a Transformer or other toy on Christmas day. I actually never did mix up Scramble City Combiners, preferred to keep them in their designated teams.

Yes I know it's about what we liked as a kid, I'm just curious if a lot of people love G1 Computron, which is driving the anticipation for the Combiner Wars / UW update.

Superion. Yes it was my first combiner but I've always loved planes & jets. So that's my choice.

Same with me, even ended up with a couple of extra Aerialbots (Sky Dive and 1 other I can't remember). Predaking is my fav these days though.

[BigTransformerTrev]

I voted before I read 'as a child' and voted Preadaking as he now is my fav G1 gestalt toy, the others just don't compare!

As a child it was Menasor as he was the only one I had. As a teen I got Superion, Defensor and Bruticus - I love them all too

Heh, I was planning to do this exact same poll Gok, but about the Combiner Wars when they finally finish

My all-time fav was Bruticus although I never owned him as a child and the closest I have even got is when I purchased Ruination about 10 years ago. I was turned off the reissue because of QC issues.

A close second would have to be Predaking, pretty much because of issue #25 of the Marvel comic when he fought Megatron. That was epic!

[klystron]

Bruticus. Loved the Combaticons as a kid.
Still do. Think Combaticons/Bruticus are the best scramble-city team/combiner.

Nowadays I'd go with Predaking.


(I played by the rules for this poll).

Devastator. Love the color combo, and the difference of this gestalt. All the following gestalts have that same formula, love that Devy has that originality in combination and the combo of construction vehicles mashed in that way... looks awesome.
