Eh, I don't care. Between IDW and Marvel, every character featured in the comics were done better than their counterparts in the cartoon. Fight me

Well its not necessarily better than the G1 cartoon but better than any cartoon or other media. So like Lockdown in the IDW comics is not better than either the movie or animated version. And IDW Tankor isnt better than the Beast Machines version. So its not everyone.
And in any case, this is the 5 that stand out most as being superior.

I don't really know why IDW and AoE shared the problem of getting wrong the very simple concept of 'creepy amoral bounty hunter', but I guess that's what happens. Though I will disagree with you that AoE Lockdown > IDW Lockdown. IDW Lockdown doesn't do much of anything, but nothing is better than whatever the movies spit out.

Says you. I bloody love AoE Lockdown. One of my fave 'bad guys' in a long time. Looks cool, sounds cool, does cool things. Ok he kills some characters I like but that's what a bad guy does.

No need, dude -- this is just a discussion about characters, no need to make it personal or take to disliking someone over an opinion about a movie or cartoon.

He was portrayed in the cartoon as absolutely bonkers with a lot of power behind that, but in Marvel UK they take that concept and friggin' run with it. I'll always love the cartoon version, but the comic version is downright scary in how easily he dispatches everyone and how erratic he is.

He's what he should have been. An unstoppable force, and they proved that. He couldn't be stopped with force, the only way to stop him was through deception.
He stabbed him through the spark with the Dark Saber IIRC. But otherwise yeah he belongs on the list.Black Hat wrote:In the comic he's an unconquerable badass who fights and KILLS G1 Galvatron with his bare hands
Black Hat wrote:No mention of Armada Megatron? In the cartoon/anime, he was a fairly generic villain (though he did become pretty cool when he became Galvatron). In the comic he's an unconquerable badass who fights and KILLS G1 Galvatron with his bare hands!
Speaking of which, G1 Galvatron. Sure he was badass in the movie but in the cartoon he was laughable. Compare that to the comics where he's a straight-up murder machine (which makes Armada Megs' victory over him even more impressive!).
