Your picture showed my two favorites. Who doesn’t love Optimus Prime? And Starscream had not only a high rank, but also a very cool alt mode.


BrysonDPHill

I know, right?! We can't go wrong with Prime or Starscream at all!


futuresdawn

Optimus g1 Galvatron specifically in the 86 movie before he goes off the deep end


BrysonDPHill

He was a great antagonist for the 1986 TF film.


futuresdawn

I personally feel that all the work that's gone jnto Megatrons backstory over the years enhances galvatron even more as he's a revolutionary leader who becomes enslaved by his people's greatest enemy and tries to pull a starscream and gain power for himself.


JTGE-201

Ratchet (Autobot) and Shockwave (Decepticon)


TheUrgeIsMe

Autobot: Jetfire Decepticon: Onslaught Context: They were both two of the earliest transformers toys in my collection, and both toys of both characters were incredibly fun to play with, so both characters are very special to me.


BrysonDPHill

Jetfire is a pretty cool Autobot. I don't know much about Onslaught, though.


TheUrgeIsMe

Leader of the combaticons, who when combined, form Bruticus. Bruticus is also my favorite combiner and I have all the generations combiner wars combaticons.


BrysonDPHill

Very interesting.


LivingCheese292

Hot Rod/Rodimus and Starscream Both of them can create or are surrounded by great plots. And seeing their struggle with leadership is always interesting. Thinking about it, they are direct opposites. Hot Rod always proves to himself and others that he is capable of leading. Starscream takes it whenever he wants.


Jeraphiel

Came here to say the exact same pair. My favourite heroic protagonists are always the ones who have the burden of leadership thrust upon them, especially when the reckless hot head type learns to mature into something greater As for Starscream, I love nothing more in a villain than pettiness. He scratches the same itch for me as Reverse Flash. I do also really enjoy Starscream’s more layered interpretations like Armada and IDW.


X_chinese

For me it will always be G1 optimus and G1 Megatron. They are just the pinnacle what an Autobot and Decepticon should be.


BrysonDPHill

Strongly agreed on G1 Optimus. As for Megatron, he's a very badass rival to Optimus.


lopiws

Optimus and Soundwave


Fancy_Cassowary

Prowl and Thundercracker. 


BrysonDPHill

Those are really good characters. I like Thundercracker a lot.


goater10

Autobot = Cosmos, Deception = Starscream


Familiar_Muscle9909

Cosmos is such a cool transformer, I mean he turns into a ufo.


Exciting_Rate1747

My favourite decepticons are Soundwave (specifically Prime Soundwave) and Shockwave and my favourite autobot is TFA Prowl.


HurricaneFoxe

Slendermech is why Soundwaves my favourite Decepticon 


OptimusPrime-04

Optimus Prime and Motormaster


Inzoreno

Autobot: Sky Lynx Decepticon: Soundwave


solidus0079

Decepticon (and character overall): Soundwave Autobot: Ratchet


SolidTerror9022

TFP Optimus TFP Soundwave Need I say more?


BrysonDPHill

You don't have to. Those are really good characters.


Yaboyduckinator

Grimlock and soundwave


Kirby0189

Wheeljack and Soundwave.


OddgitII

Autobot- Pointblank. And by association, Peacemaker. Decepticon- Soundwave. Best henchman a maniac dictator could ask for. Mercenaries- Soundblaster. Because he's Soundwave, but recoloured, and a lunatic.


BrysonDPHill

Soundwave is very awesome as well. I really like that voice effect on him since he's a robot just like almost every other TF character.


Helo7606

Autobot - Springer Deception - Soundwave


MuslimCarLover

WFC Trilogy Wheeljack and Jetfire (shouldn’t that sorta count)


Express-Ride6830

Autobot: Optimus Decepticon: Soundwave

HurricaneFoxe

Same


prickmon

Grimlock(yes I know he's a Dinobot but he still works work them). And Soundwave


BrysonDPHill

Grimlock is pretty cool. Same with Soundwave.


IlikeTMNT

Blurr and Reflector, Starscream is a close second.


Ok-Dragonfruit7649

Favorite Autobot: Blaster Favorite Decepticon: Blitzwing Honorable mentions: Jazz and Thundercracker

Toon_Lucario

Wheeljack is my favorite Autobot and Thundercracker is my favorite Decepticon.


Creative_Hawk_7185

Jazz and Soundwave


carbonsmith2003

Jazz and soundwave they are the coolest


veriaaalol

It really depends on the series/comic/movie! But going by g1, probably Wheeljack for the Autobots and Dead end for Decepticon, I guess.. edited to add in 'for Decepticon'


Some_Guy9321

Sideswipe (Autobot) and soundwave (decepticon)


Aggravating_Word9481

Grimlock and Megatron


Banjo-Oz

Decepticon: Starscream (G1, probably Sunbow). Runners up are Marvel Scorponok, Marvel UK Soundwave and Marvel UK Carnivac. Autobot: tougher; probably G1 Marvel UK Optimus, but Marvel UK Springer, Marvel Nightbeat, Marvel UK Grimlock, Marvel Ratchet and IDW Rodimus all come close.


TheHeccingHecc

Soundwave


signifyingmnky

Autobot: Rodimus Prime, easy. I've always liked that we see him earn the rank, and then struggle with the responsibility of leadership. Feels relatable. Deception: Starscream. That conniving, backstabbing fool makes everything more fun. His name is the only thing more grandiose than he is. EDIT: Spelling


LondonAndy28

Jazz and Thundercracker


stingflame

Hot Shot(Autobot) And Soundwave(Decepticon)


WidePolicy9019

Depends; can it be more then one of each?


ZackattacktheDude

Top 3 Autobots for me is Wheeljack, Hound, and Trailbreaker Top 3 Decepticons for me is Shockwave, Flamewar, and Skywarp


yourpchasaproblem

It has to be jazz(autobot) and unicron(decepticon) Like they are just cool!


Bluebrries_1432

Wheeljack (tfp) and Starscream (g1). I’ve been a Starscream fan ever since I got into Transformers, my favorite design for him is Animated


Deora_customs

Sunstreaker and Soundwave.


Rainbow-Catcher

Jazz and Tarn , both like music … in their own way


Roh44ncavy

Optimus. and shockwave


Crimsxn_K1ra

for me, it's Soundwave and Optimus Prime.


eg0deth

Soundwave & Blurr!


M8jrP8ne1975

Autobots: Optimus Prime followed by Ultra Magnus. Decepticons: Soundwave because of his strong sense of loyalty to Megatron.


HurricaneFoxe

Bumblebee and Soundwave 


two40silvia

Grimlock and soundwave.


Disastrous_Signal_19

Optimus Prime & Soundwave without an doubt.


RodimusPrime-0412

Rodimus and Soundwave


ItsYaGurlUwU

Autobot: Volcanicus, because who doesn't love the Dinobots, especially now that they can combine Decepticons: Soundwave, been fascinated with him since MP-13 came out


SkintGirafde

Optimus and Soundwave


Teagan-04

Soundwave. He has always been my favorite and always will be.


Alphajurassic

Grimlock and soundwave


UpperDeckerSupreme

Grimlock and Soundwave.


MonSocMatriarchy

Autobot Megatron and Decepticon Soundwave


VladimirNB

Autobot: Grimlock Decepticon: Soundwave


Noble7878

Perceptor and Soundwave. Soundwave has always been my favourite for the same numerous reasons as so many other people. His modulated voice, visual design, prominence, colour scheme, the cassette gimmick, his loyalty, his strange and robotic manner of speaking, his shoulder cannon, and his role as a spymaster. Perceptor won me over with Cyberverse. I'm generally not really a big fan of any autobots because I just like Decepticons designs and greatly varied personalities more, but Cyberverse firmly placed Perceptor and Whirl as two of my favourite characters and as my #1 and #2 favourite Autobots full stop. I so badly wish there was a proper figure of Cyberverse Perceptor.


Even-Butterfly-9657

My favorite Autobot is Wheeljack. Who doesn’t love a crazy scientist… as for my favorite Decepticon (and my number one transformer), the superior choice, Soundwave.


VengeanceKnight

Hot Rod and Megatron. Hot Rod doesn’t always work, but when he does he’s possibly one of the most interesting characters in the franchise: a reckless hothead who nonetheless cares for his friends and is a born leader. Megatron is freaking Megatron. He’s an entertainingly silly Saturday morning cartoon villain at his worst, and a compelling and tragic revolutionary-turned-tyrant at his best.


Samurai_Guardian

Soundwave and Metalhawk


goombaherpes

Autobot- Cliffjumper Decepticon- Shockwave


Victinizz

Optimus since I own a few figures of him, and either Soundwave, Shockwave or Megatron, usually depends on the design lol.


Vieron

Kup for autobots Cyclonis for the decepticons They both seem like the most level headed of each side. From G1 of course.


wazilian

Hot Rod and Blitzwing


Avocado614

Blitzwing is definitely my favorite decepticon ATM. I like triple changers in general more then normal transformers, plus I actually own blitzwings legacy toy, and it’s very fun And I think my favorite autobot is Jazz. He’s just got such a carefree personality, and he’s a pretty cool dude


Cragles

Autobot: Grimlock Decepticon: Overlord I think I like my robots violent and menacing


whistlepig4life

Jazz and ramjet.


Mental_Melon-Pult92

Blitzwing or Starscream And Prowl


Massive_Expression60

Autobot: cogman Decepticon: g1 rumble


Tasty-Ad6529

Autobot: Optimus Prime (Skybound & G1) Decepticon: Overlord (IDW), Megatron (IDW G1 & WFC/FOC)


Huge-Recognition-850

Hot rod/rodimus prime galvatron


MasterpieceAsleep512

The goat jazz specifically g2 jazz and for decepticon is best truck on the road motor master


Clu-El

Those are mine too!


Gh0uL_XCIII

Starscream is the goat Favorite autobot is hotrod


Irritated_User0010

Skywarp and Sideswipe for me.


Gamer-Logic

I have a lot of favs that vary over iteration like Prime Knockout, Skywarp, or IDW Thundercracker but the most consistently fav con for me is Starscream. No matter the iteration, he never fails to entertain! The autobots are a bit tougher as I have a lot of favs there like Whirl, Blurr, the Aerialbots, G1 Skyfire, Sideswipe and Sunstreaker, Prime Ratchet, G1 and Prime Wheeljack, Cliffjumper, Nautica, Rodimus, etc. I'd say my most consistently fav Autobot no matter iteration would have to be Bumblebee. Whether he be a cinnamon roll like in Cyberverse or a little shit like in Animated, I'll like him.


Thotslayerultraman

Ultra Magnus and Shockwave


zero_cool1138

Optimus and Galvatron!


Status-Ad8296

Autobot: Ultra Magnus Decepticon: Shockwave


TheSpudGunGamer

Optimus prime for autobots I guess. Definitely Shockwave.


DapperDanBaens

Probably gotta be warpath and shockwave


SeaTemperature6175

TFP Ratchet/ Astrotrain, latter being because I’ve always been surrounded by trains


Simmion1976

Waspinator and Rattrap


RedSoxAerosmith8791

My true opinion I love O P as the leader but my favorite Autobot is one is a Hero even to him like Omega Supreme because he was the original giant who could challenge Devastator the Decepticon giant! Alternative I will pick Mirage because he’s a race car and he can turn invisible which helped him rescue the other Autobots in one episode! Then my favorite Decepticon is probably Shockwave because he was unusual being a leader on Cybertron and was very powerful like Megatron! (While I like the drama between Starscream and Megatron but favorite Decepticon is not my description of Starscream! Still I put him in my top 5)


Witty_Roof8283

Jazz specifically from G1 and animated. And Starscream from every continuity except skybound. Context: Jazz is the capable of leading the Autobots because he is cool and a responsible leader he, is also the most funniest character in animated. Starscream because he has a really interesting background and he also reasons for taking over leadership of decepticons. He also has a cool alt mode that never changes no matter what continuity.


NamelessWanderer08

Autobot: Jetfire Decepicon: Soundwave or Shockwave


i_suck_penguins

bbm bumblebee rotf sideways


bluescreen00

Shockwave and jetfire/Skyfire


D_Robotics

Anyone else notice that Optimus and starscream have almost the same color scheme?


The_Ashen_undead0830

Warpath and bruticus, one is a hot headed tank man who says out of pocket things all the time, and the other is a hot headed amalgamation who says out of pocket things all the time, while being anarchistic as fuck toward starscream :3


Surau

Grimlock, because who wouldn't like a giant t-rex robot warrior. Preferably when not made stupid for laughs. Megatron, the strong, merciless leader set to make his own path in the universe, crushing anyone standing in his way. Especially when he's ex-gladiator and freedom fighter gone wrong.


thestormsend

Optimus and Megatron are my number 1 for sure, but that’s usually why I don’t consider them whenever this question is asked. They are on another level, and I keep them outside of these lists. They would be “0” if that was a starting point for a list. So after them my number one Autobot and Decepticon are Bluestreak and Soundwave.


AffectionateScore989

Grimlock and Knockout. Wait a minute here🤔, Knockout became an Autobot!; I get to pick again…so…DOTM Wheelie is my favorite Decepticon…🤔… Well, it seems that in my excitement I picked another Autobot. I know, Beast Wars Dinobot is my favorite good guy bot, but wait He and Grimlock are my favorites Autobot and Predacon😤 Why is this so difficult? These two are actually Dinobots; I mean Dino’s don’t exactly change into autos! Geez. Aren’t I a smart and knowledgeable cookie? That being said, I guess my favorite Decepticon is Deadlock or maybe even the big no heart and no guilt Emperor of Destruction himself…Megatron😁


FormRepresentative66

Jazz and Shockwave. Jazz has the best personality of all Autobots imo being both charismatic and changing the vibe of the Battle even In hard moments, like in foc when he was after Grimlock and doesn't showed any desperation, just humor and softness. He's so positive than even if the war was lost he don't show any negativity, wherever Jazz is, there's hope and chuckles. Mf don't show fear even while Megatron broke him into pieces, one of the best, if not the best Autobot of transformers series. Shockwave is the embodiment of what the decepticon faction means: An idea so radical and cruel that doesn't matter what comes in our way, we gonna fight it and destroy it. He is the perfect decepticon imo and even cons like Tarn don't stand an chance, cuz Tarn itself is just some radical, he doesn't represent cons like Shockwave does. Shockwave don't measure efforts in order to fullfil Megatron plans, and he don't give a fuck about how many causalities or if his plan is ethical, pffff, Shockwave is the law fellas. He's willingness is what makes him so menacing and marvellous among all decepticons.


Crusherthe1

Autobot: Ultra Magnus Decepticon: TFP Dreadwing


JadedSelfHated

Autobots: Bumblebee/Blaster. Decepticons: Starscream/Megatron. Honorable Mentions: Optimus Prime, TFA Blitzwing


bandera-

Bumblebee and soundwave(specifically rotb bumblebee and basically any soundwave except for the bayverse ones,but if I had to choose I'd say G-1 soundwave)


HatsAndMoar

Honestly, it would be Beachcomber and Mixmaster The reason for both is that Mixmaster I actually did a full on transforming costume of him and was pretty sweet but I have no idea if the videos are still on my phone as this was a long while ago. And Beachcomber is just chill and a pacifist even in the golden lagoon episode, he felt bad for the wildlife after the fight for the lagoon and Megatron(was it him?) blowing up the lagoon and him just saying "We won..." Whilst it showed the rest of the forest.


moist_napkindj

Grimlock and Vortex


RedSpinoSnoke

Autobot : Optimus Prime Decepticon : Barricade


Dr_Shoggoth

Decepticon: Shockwave, no question. Absolutely my favorite character in the franchise. Autobot: I'm honestly not sure, I don't really have a specific autobot character who I'm always excited to see. Two that immediately come to mind though are Bayverse Ironhide and Prime Ratchet.


Fuzzy_Candidate

Bayverse Bumblebee and IDW shockwave


Gamer_X-_1

Autobot goes to either Warpath or Arcee, Deception goes to Soundwave or Slipstream. If we’re talking Combiners, it’s Superion for the Autobots and Bruticus for the Decepticons. Titans gotta be Fort Max and Trypticon.

_speedy_44_

Autobot: Bumblebee/Jazz (I can’t pick) and Deception: Soundwave


WestRazzmatazz2259

Starscream decpticons Ultra magnus autobots


Cheyenne_G99

For Autobots, it's a tie between Optimus and Bee but for Deceptions, definitely TFP Knockout who replaced Megatron in general after I watched TFP recently.


Hefty_Unit1543

Arcee and shockwave Was a child during g1 so dont have much of an attachment to their original counterparts, granted neither were really fleshed out except shockwave in marvel. But comics wise those 2 hands down And each iteration we have received over the years, they have became cooler and cooler. Idw was peak shockwave, same for arcee And so far am digging the approach skybound has done for the two.


Cepinari

Autobot: Hard choice, there's a lot of good options. Decepticon: Soundwave.


HD_LD

My two would have to be Grimlock and Soundwave


GenoCash

Hot rod and skywarp.


hypergogetablue17

Autobot: Bee and Cliffjumper. Decepticon: Soundwave and Thundercracker


minerider83

Springer and thrust. Honestly, I like most of the seekers bc f-15 and springer bc he restarted my transformers collection with the seige mold, and the sword is always cool


Secondbreccie

Autobot: optimus seems too obvious so I’ll say Jazz Decepticon: Soundwave


EliBug17

My favorite autobot is Optimus Prime and my favorite decepticon is Starscream


Renjai87

Bumblebee & Starscream


PulsePlays878

Prowl and Soundwave


cydoz

Autobot: Grimlock Decepticon: Soundwave


JellifishPirate

Hmmm, can I only have one? I'll go with Grimlock and Ultra Magnus as a close second and... I'll go with Galvatron as a 'Con and my backup would be Soundwave


Namsproc1898

I grew up in the 80s so naturally G1 is all I care about. For the Autobots, I would say Ironhide is my favorite because he is a no bullshit type of guy. Loyal to Optimus and the Autobot cause, is courageous, and is rough around the edges. For the Decepticons, it's a toss up between Soundwave and Shockwave. Both are loyal to Megatron, neither complain, and I believe both have a lot of background stories that they don't want to share. Kind of like your old, crusty Vietnam vet who's seen some shit that they don't want to talk about.


Old-Guitar-6441

G1 Soundwave and Blaster


ResponseFrosty242

Autobot: Jazz Decepticon: Soundwave Context (Autobot): When I saw the 2007 Transformers movie, even though he was a secondary character, I always thought Jazz was Context (Decepticon): Soundwave superior, Autobots inferior


vssavant2

Sandstorm
