Everyone has a favorite obscure Transformer who they really love. Some of these guys ended up becoming so popular, in fact, they became equal to the heavy hitters in newer fiction or toylines. Nightbeat, Straxus, Bludgeon, and Sunstorm are examples of this.
Of course, there are some who haven't recieved such good luck yet. And my favorite obscure TF has gotta be Flatline. What can I say about Flatline? Up until Knock Out was created, he was probably the most fan-loved Decepticon medic. Scalpel and Hook may have been the most well-known, and Glit was repurpsoed into SG Ravage, but Flatline? Well, he's pretty much what I think a 'Con medic should be. A twisted, sadistic monster, Flatline delights in performing horrific experiments on his patients. He's one of the most utterly evil Decepticons in the franchise history, rivalled only by Lockdown, Tarantulas, and Airachnid, and that's one of the reasons he's so great. He goes about his evil business with a cold, scientific detachment. He's absolutely horrifying in character, and that's what makes him what I think of when I imagine Decepticon medic - someone who's more mad scientist than actual doctor - and my favorite obscure TF. -------------------- The best shark around

I will support any Repugnus fiction based on his MTMTE profile from Dreamwave.
Sparkstalker too. Plus his name sounds like the TF Grim Reaper. |

I will support any Repugnus fiction based on his MTMTE profile from Dreamwave. Sparkstalker too. Plus his name sounds like the TF Grim Reaper. That's typical for a dimintuive geek whose armament is capable of lightly boiling an egg. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/icon-hotrod.gif) They tend to exaggerate. Repugnus got his quasi-spotlight, but I'd like to see more of him. Maybe the Lost Light can run into the three mercenaries... MTMTE made a lot of nobodies interesting. Blackout and Spaceshot for example, or Knockout - who often passes out from excitement. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/icon-hotrod.gif) Also, I'd like to see Bomb-Burst explored more as some demented serial killer drafted into the Con ranks, who really believes that he can steal other people's life-force... Oh and Bugly. We saw a little of him in Dark Ages, but he has potential. Roadblock would make the perfect angry, always-belligerent drill sergeant based on his bio - it'd add to the comical factor that his sans-shell robot form is tiny. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/icon-hotrod.gif) From the bots, I hope James tackles Rollout, the inept loudmouth spy, and I would also like to see Hosehead get some characterisation apart from "the third guy who hangs out with Nightbeat and Siren". Oh and Catilla. So far, he is essentially Gwen Stacy. -------------------- The de-evolution of Optimus Prime:
