I've got it easy (G1 characters unless otherwise)

Optimus Prime= Abe Lincoln and Peter Cullen's Marine brother

Red Alert= Richard Nixon

Shockwave= Robotic Spock or a more contemporary villain.........Josef Mengele

Hotrod= a cool Luke Skywalker

Jazz= A black brother Fonzy and a bit of Michael Jordan

Megatron= All of history's dictators combined. Genghis Khan, Hirohashi Tokugawa, Julius Caesar, Napoleon Bonaparte

Soundwave= a very smart and cool Igor

Starscream= a screechy Benedict Arnold

Ultra Magnus= George Washington (he never really like to be big kahuna) but battle skills wise, unequalled.

Care to add?

Optimus is the Duke incarnate mixed w Reagan
Star saber the Iron Monkey
Mags = Patton
Kup is any given grandpa over 65
Warpath is Semper Fi
Wreck Gar is that Uncle your parents never took you to visit for fear he would corrupt you.
Tracks is Vannity Smurf
Seekers are Moe, Larry and Curly

Actually, I'm thinking OP is part John Wayne, part Jesus, and part Ashton Kutcher in Butterfly Effect (he dies and everytime he comes back...things just got worse)

I often see Kira Yamamoto as the human version of Optimus.

I'm seeing Wheeljack as Dell Conagher AKA The Engineer
