      Linx is the best Sontaran in either series or spin off vids. One monster has to be tougher than several or hundreds because it has to last a whole story. Look at Dalek vs Bad Wolf etc. Single Dalek has shields, traversing mid section etc. The Dalek Scout can deflect missiles etc because it would be story over if you just did what Ace did and blew it up on sight.
      Getting back to the point. Linx is the best because he's the first, the costume is excellent, the story is good and the character is well written and believable. That unhelmeting scene is a classic classic Who cliffhanger. Up until Nu Who various costumes didn't fit or we got a Derek Deadman cockney Sontaran or the costumes just look unreal (The Two Doctors). Then they just became a comic relief so they done even count.
