Top 10 Most Iconic G1 Autobots

[DaptoDog]

I saw this posted on TFW and thought it would be fun to get people's views here. So please reply with your top 10 Most Iconic G1 Autobots in order and feel free to provide any explanation if need be. Also vote ALL 10 in the poll. Use "Other" for characters not listed and note them in your list.

So what makes a character iconic? The Cambridge dictionary defines it as "very famous or popular, especially being considered to represent particular opinions or a particular time".

The criteria I have used to come to my list are:

• How prominent were they in the cartoon / comics?

• How memorable were they in the cartoon / comics?

• Have they been featured in the live action movies?

• Coolness of the toy

• How likely are you to see this character on a retro T-shirt?

So onto my list. I've organised it into tiers.

The locks

1. Optimus Prime
2. Bumblebee
3. Jazz
4. Grimlock

The probables

5. Ironhide
6. Wheeljack
7. Rodimus Prime / Hot Rod

The questionables

8. Ratchet
9. Ultra Magnus
10. Prowl

The honourable mentions

Hound
Mirage
Sideswipe
Sunstreaker

So what say you? I will also post the equivalent Decepticons thread.
