I voted for Optimus Prime. The reason is obvious. "Freedom is the right of all sentient beings." No one in the history of cartoons , imo, has ever been a more iconic hero than him. Known the world over by children from every country,Prime represented a fight for whats right itself, and emblazned in our minds that never giveing up can pay off!

I vote Optimus.

I think if you are talking someone almost everyone has heard of, even people who never watched it. it will have to be He-Man, closely followed by Lion-O, then Optimus.

Okay, Prime in the lead , but The most powerful man in the universe is right on his heels!
Get those votes in fellas! And tell us why you choose what you do :)

I'm going with Optimus Prime, his dying doing his thing solidifies it for me. Til all are one

He-Man all the way.

Id have to go for Optimus although he was a bit of a puss in the cartoons and then became an icon in the 86 animated movie.

The Touch - Transformers movie clip - YouTube

Haha, brilliant CLASSIFIED! I loved this show as a kid!!

But as you can probably guess, I have to go with Optimus Prime... Never was there a more heroic truck!

I would have to go with optimus.

Hogan breaks the poll.

Duke is way better than Optimus, he survived his fatal movie blow.

Duke is awesome.

Why not post an actual poll to this thread?

well lets see "duke" go toe to toe with megatron and see how "awesome" he is ;)

He'll hit him with the nano-tech virus from RoC and melt his robotic ass!

Yo Joe!

I say Snake Eyes from GI Joe.

Isn't there a way that you can create a poll instead of everyone posting. just a thought.

There are a finite number of options one can attach to a poll.

no,thats a cobra weapon.

It is a weapon that MARS industries developed for Nato that Cobra stole, but last I checked; GI Joe won that movie, and to the victors go the spoils.

Besides, Duke has been battle hardened fighting a terrorist force that takes over the world on the regular.

And what has Megatron been up to? When he isn't getting mind fucked by a Victoria's Secret model he's failing at stealing the earth's natural resources.

Got to get tough: Yo Joe!

Optimus prime for me. The optimus prime voice is iconic and I'm glad they never changed the voice actor for him.

Optimus with out a shadow of a doubt and that's not just because I'm really into Transformers (I'm a Decepticon:)). He is the consumate hero, rising above even death to ensure the right of man and all that stands for good and just. *plays The Touch*

He-Man.. anyone who can rock the bowl-cut AND kick that much ass wins..hands down.

Optimus Prime.

You forgot the Ninja Turtles

Haha this guy... Smokin'! Somebody stop me!! Do NOT go in there!!!

ah,so "gettin tough" means stealing an enemy weapon and using it on another?sounds like old duke is just what Megatron is looking for.
