Best Gestalt

Post by Sir Auros »

My favorite's Bruticus. He's just a great mold. He's sturdy (unlike Superion & Devastator) and he looks badass. He's also been remade more than any of the others and I'd love to have a collection of all the versions of the Bruticus mold.

Mine has to be Predaking... hands down he's the strongest and the best looking out of them all.. now don't get me wrong, Bruticus, Defensor, and all the others are great but when it comes to molds and fun time, Predaking takes the gold! :cool:

I dunno, I kind of like the RiD gestalts. Rail Racer and Landfill.

Rail Racer because he's really poseable and looks great, and Landfill because he's just cool, and if you you Heavyload and Hightower as his legs, and extned them out a bit, he even has knees!

If we're talking about G1 gestalts though, I'd have to say Devastator, just because he's the only one I ever had, plus he goes together in an interesting way. Only had the G2 version though...

In fact, I still have parts of him...

I'd probably have to go with Piranacon as my choice for best combiner.

Rail Racer. Takes the word 'cool' to another dimension. :D

Having never owned any, I'm not in any position to make an accurate comparison. However, I would love to own Computron. I think he looks hella cool. Defensor would be my second choice.

Mine's an odd one, but I have to say I REALLY like Abominus. He's the most poseable of all the G1 gestalts, going as far as having both knee joints and hip joints that allow the legs to kick out in all directions. None of the other G1 gestalts come close to that kind of articulation.

For looks, I really like Computron.

Hmm, I have to say Defensor, I don't know why I just like him a lot maybe it's more to do with him having two flamerthrowers than anything else but still :)

I like the RID Bruticus, because all the individual weapons combine to make super weapons. Add to that the cannons on Blast Off and Vortex, the cannons on his back and Brawl's turret gun (if it could pivot out from his leg), the guy has more firepower than any other gestalt.

As far as looks go, I'd say it's a toss up between Bruticus and Superion.

G1 - Predaking. C'mon, he looks so cool.

RiD - Rail Racer. If only Hasbro released the Bullet Trains in Australia.

out of the ones i own (landfill, rail racer, ruination, defensor, and a ko superion and devestator) i would have to say that rail racer takes it hands down, but it might have to do more with the fact that i like the idea of three bigger robots better than 5 smaller robots for when i don't want them in gestalt mode. quick question though, would metroplex with any of the guys on him count? If so i would vote for him with the protectobots.

Predaking's toy always looked too much like five stacked Predacons to me...
