No this is not a character suggestion thread....curious as to who's boutthere that would fit this category.
So in blue we have OG Megaton and Prime
Yellow we have Megatronus, Galvatron, Movie Megatron.
Purple we have MV1 Prime.
I'd say Shockwave would be up there on this level as a tech.
A scout by definition wouldn't fit into these ranks....
But a warrior...we could easily slip a bad boy red bot in...BW Megatron maybe?
Many of the leaders came about after my toy days.

•Movie Sentinel Prime would make a great Warrior as well considering his arsenal (blade staff, shield, Rust Gun).
•Movie Fallen did have a tendency to stab people. Whether if it was a human or a Cybertronian, he always impaled someone with that staff.
•BW Megatron should be a Tactician, since that just fits his character. He always had complex plans, and backup plans for those plans, and backup plans for those backup plans. He also knew how to use his own enemies' stengths against them. Yeeesss.
Or when Rhinox farted a nuke on their base that could be seen from orbit! (Why couldn't THAT be his SP3?!)
Well, THAT worked out just peachy in Beast Machines.

Actually I thought that too,,,, stun and power lock enemy for 8 secs,,, and deals 200% attack as ACIDIC ODOUR damage over 12 secs
Totally agree, although got some reservations on making bw megs a tact. His rivalry with primal, to me means he probably shouldn’t have class advantage over him
Best and most likely candidate would be G1 Rodimus Prime. Hot Rod's style is classic warrior stuff, fast and flashy, but he was never really a natural leader - he'd be the first one to question his own leadership skills. As such, it wouldn't make much sense to put him in as a tactician, so warrior seems the best fit outside of that.
The other one that's far less likely, but would hype me up massively, would be TF Prime Megatron. The TF Prime series was the first time I saw a show or movie leaning heavily on Megatron's origins as a gladiator in the Kaon fighting pits, so having him as a warrior seems like a decent character fit. In terms of fitting the warrior class tendencies, TF Prime Megatron's affinity for Dark Energon could provide some sort of draining debuff effect.
Sentinel would also make the grade.
Yeah, except Rhinox. Megatron had nothing on him.
While Megatron and Primal were always on Par with each other, there were multiple battles where Megatron would've killed Primal were it not for interference. In their first battle on the Big Explodey Moutain, Megs almost killed Primal with a missle but Dinobot deflected it. In Dark Designs, Megatron beats the scrap out of Primal before Primal slices off Megs arm and Megatron slips away. In The Probe, Megatron successfully succeeds in destroying a Maximal relay tower and injures Primal in the process. Megatron is about to kill Primal, but Tigatron and Cheetor interfere. In Other Visits, Primal beats Megatron to a stand still, but Megatron flies away. In the Series Finale, Megatron beats Optimal Optimus to a stand-still, despite Optimus not holding back. Megatron is about to destroy the Ark, bit Rhinox rams an Autobot shuttle into him. Sensing a pattern here? Whenever Primal wins, Megatron escapes under his own power. Whenever Megatron wins, some Maximal interferes to help drive him off. It shows that Megatron had lots of chances to permanently kill Primal, but some outside force would show up at the last minute. It proves that Megatron was always superior, but Primal had helping hands to help him win.
Now let's focus on wit and intelligence.
Optimus Primal surprisingly didn't know how to handle his group at first. In the first few episodes, Rattrap wouldn't follow orders since he was a jerk and Cheetor kept breaking the rules. Dinobot wanted to betray everyone, and his bickering with Rattrap didn't help either. Some character development later and then Primal finally has the Maximals under control. Until Silverbolt shows up and keeps running off to Blacakarachnia. Then Blacakarachnia joins and she doesn't fit in with everyone else. And when Depth Charge joined, he would always follow his vendetta first before following orders. Primal had a hard time leading because unlike Megatron, Primal wasn't strict or threatening. But unlike Megatron, he cared for the well-being of his Maximals, which made more of them survive and win.
Megatron was more flexible and had more control. Most of the Predacons, would try to follow their own agenda, but Megatron always had a way with dealing with them, despite this. For Tarantulas and Blacakarachnia, always watch them, or send Inferno to keep them in check. For Ramage/X, crush his Spark a bit to make him obedient. Megatron may have had the worst group, but he made the best of that group while keeping them in line. It just shows how intelligent he is. Megatron''s big flaw is that he didn't care, which caused the rest of the Preds to die.
Megatron was better as a leader since he had effective strategies and more control despite how disfunctional his team would be. This is why I think BW Megatron should be a Tactician and have an advantage over Primal because ultimately, he was superior in combat and strategy.
Toe to toe, Prime always loses. He always has to have a plan to out wit or else he can't stand against Meg's brute strength.
I went and looked up this Rhinox "incident"........I will never look at him the same again, lol.
Yea. Which was the case in Bayformers 1.
Which they promptly ignored in the sequels, with only a Lamborghini being able to go toe to toe with a (same sized) Peterbilt.
Ahhh... The Japanese.
What's more intimidating than a Tyrannosaurus?
DEATHsaurus.
What's better than Convoy?
BIG Convoy.
How do we top Gigatron?
DEVIL Gigatron.
I see Zarak is now darker than ever?
BLACK Zarak.
That would be just Prime
