I've been an Autobot since I was old enough to know what I wanted to be when I grew up.

It's only an oddity that my HMW leader uses a Maximal form. He's an interdimensional ultratransformer who used to be a car but adopted the dragon mode during the Beast Wars era.
As for me, I'm in Iowa studying to be a mechanical engineer. I maintain several hobbies, so I only post sporadically. I've had fun here over winter break, but may slow down a little after classes start this Thursday.
I was born in 1980, so the G1 characters are still my favorites. I like the other series to various extents. Beast Wars, especially, stands out due to its superior graphics and overarching plot line. I just wish they had introduced more of the characters.
For toys, I tend to get a few favorites from each series, but enjoy G1 reissues and remakes, like Classics and Alternators. Despite favoring the Autobots, I have a nearly equal force of Decepticons. A war that is one-sided ends too quickly.
