Cosmos

Most of the Mini-bots from the Generation One era are classics. Cosmos is another one of those classic toys and classic characters from the original animated series. He transformed into (literally) a UFO. It kind of makes one wonder what he scanned when he took the form. His UFO mode is really simple looking, but the paint applications work well. He is green with some yellow and a red top. To transform him, you pull the front part forward and down to form the legs, flip down the arms, and pull the red top up for the head. He is a really neat looking Mini-bot in robot mode (even if he is a little fat looking).

On a side note, he had one of those great iconic voices from the old cartoon. While the voices for all of the characters seemed to fit well, there were some which always stood out. Optimus Prime with his father like, John Wayne style, Megatron with his tough and evil voice, Starscream.... there is no comparisson (best iconic voice and character), Soundwave with his tecno style, and Cosmos is also up there. His voice had this type of laid back feel with an echo that was great. He played a decent role in the second season of the show.
