Who knew my little list would generate this much discussion?

As for Transformers being my #1, I realize it wasn't exactly based on a specific comic, but the basic story was the same as the TV show and original comic: Two warring factions of an alien world extend the conflict beyond their homeworld to Earth.

And Soundwave is my all-time favorite TF character, so believe me I would be upset if he got screwed over in any way. That didn't happen in the first movie. Yes, Frenzy's role was at one time going to be Soundwave. So was Blackout's. However, as they were fleshing out the script, the writers realized they weren't writing Soundwave in either case and changed the names. With ROTF, we will be treated to the true Movie Soundwave and I, like Flint, hope he will be voiced by Welker with the synthezized voice.

I enjoyed Frenzy for what he was - a minor threat that was played more for comedy than anything else. I've never looked at him as a poor man's Soundwave. If anything, I was upset that Frenzy got some time to shine and Rumble gets left out in the cold.

Anyway, getting back to my list, there are several other movies I would have loved to add, but we're limited in this forum to lists of 10. Not to mention the fact that I specifically said to list your favorites, and those were some of mine. Some of the others I would have liked to add were Iron Man, The Incredible Hulk, Sin City, 300, Daredevil (I liked Bullseye and Elektra), X-Men 2, and Darkman. I also hope to add Hellboy II and Watchmen to that group once I see them.
