I was just thinking this morning, that although most of the iconic, famous and memorable Transformers characters are from Generation 1 or are G1 'legacy' characters*, there are a good handful of Transformers who have made a huge mark on the franchise despite not being GeeWun. This year, Beast Wars Dinobot, who - despite being named after a G1 subgroup - was certainly a Beast-Wars-first character, earned a place in the Transformers Hall of Fame. Other huge 'original' characters who came to mind were G2 Jhiaxus, RID Sky-Byte, Armada Demolishor, Animated Bulkhead, Lockdown and Lugnut (of course ) and - yes - most of the cast of Beast Wars (Waspinator, Rattrap, Tarantulas, Blackarachnia, Rhinox, Cheetor etc.)

So who do you (and ultimately us as a forum) think are the greatest non-G1/non-G1 legacy Transformers?

*G1 legacy characters are characters conspicuously named after or based on G1 characters. (E.G. Beast Wars Optimus Primal, Movie Bumblebee, Energon Shockblast etc.)
