In the optic of an out-of-the-box rating, and specifically for the newcomer, I'd say a tie between TM AK-47 and TM G36c, with a possible edge for the later.

AK-47
- Ver 3 mechbox
- Holds a large battery
- Very good performances out of the box (IMHO)
- Good aftermarket offerings

Cons:

- Size might not appeal to all
- Poor ergonomy (again, IMHO)
- Hard to set as a rail interface platform

G36c
- Ver 3 mechbox
- Good overall ergonomy (ambidextreous selector switch for a start)
- Rail interface provided on stock gun
- Light weight and good balance + folding stock
- Easy battery install/swap

Cons:

- Some may find it too short
- Some mag reliability issues (?)
- Battery size
- Where in hell's the handguard pin ?
