Interesting idea for a topic:
G1 Autobot Team
Hot Rod - Leader (Dome Zero)
Prowl - Second in Command (Datsun 280 ZX Highway Patrol Car)
Warpath - Heavy Weapons Specialist (M551 Sheridan tank)
Jazz - Special Ops (Porsche 935 Turbo)
Skyfire - Arieal Support (Cybertronian Jet)
Springer - Arieal Support (Dauphin N2 Eurocopter)
Bluestreak - Warrior / Ground Assualt (Datsun 280 ZX Turbo)
Smokescreen - Tactician (Datsun 280 ZX-R)
Hound - Scout (Mitsubishi J59)
Wreck-Gar - Warrior / Ground Assualt / Medic (Junkion Motorcycle)
I used strictly G1 characters and wanted to focus on a little bit of everything. If you notice, the majority of ground based units all have performance oriented alt modes like Datsun 280Z's, Porsche 935 Turbo and such, but the addition of Warpath gives the team the heavy weapons edge they need with Hound's AWD capability making him an excellent spy and scout, as he can get to areas most Autobots can't. The team also has excellent air support in the form of Skyfire's Cybertronian jet mode and Springer's Dauphin N2 helicopter, giving the team a well armed and quick arieal assualt team. However, if the need arises and more heavy troops are needed, the addition of Springer also gives the team use of his Cybertronian armored car mode, making this team well covered on all fronts!
