Which Transformer are you (seriously or humorously) most like and please say why?

I see myself like a combination of Soundwave and Megatron in some respects. Specifically a combination of Aligned Megatron and IDW G1 Megatron and the element that is Soundwave I have with is just the quiet observer aspects from Aligned and some elements of the character generally just with being into everything altogether and keeping tabs on things.

As for why I say I'm like Megatron, I'm like him in the sense of me not liking the way the world is heading. What I'm referring to is the festering levels of the various inequality in the world and the disparity with it all for all the various reasons is distressing to me and I feel deserving of being overthrown. Frankly I feel there's a lot of issues with how it works altogether too and I feel like Megatron in the way the system needs to be torn out altogether and started again from scratch in a lot of respects. Though that said, I see the problems with any potential new system and the fact such a new system would be plagued by its own respective problems.

Outside of this, I see the greater problem is humanity itself. So I have the Decepticon stand point on humanity because while growing up I had been routinely dehumanized by my "fellow man" and subjected to a lot of crap. But that's why I feel I'm like Megatron in a lot of ways and like Soundwave in others.

Perhaps I've over shared though.

MTMTE/Lost Light Rodimus. 100%. I have no idea what I'm doing with my life.

I also have very very healthy doses of Nautica though. Almost every socially awkward thing she does I instantly relate to.

I think I'm a mix of Rung, Rodimus, Brainstorm, and Swerve from IDW.

I'm kind of a sweet, quiet little nerd like Rung, but I think I'm a lot more like Rodimus and Brainstorm than Rung. I share Rodiums' self confidence in they way that I believe I can do anything and anything can be done, and that I'm an amazing person (but not in like a vain way or anything). I'm also really eccentric like Brainstorm. I'm so weird.

Swerve is kind of different though. I think I'm a lot like him because I feel like I can relate to his experiences and feelings a lot. I'm in a gap year right now before I go to university, and my friends from high school and I kind of... I feel like 'mutually let each other go' might be a good way to put it. Not really having any friends is something I've kind of struggled with, just like Swerve.

But then I also go on and on about the most random stuff and will do things just to see what happens like Swerve.

I can personally identify with a lot of different characters from the series. My favorite characters are my favorites because I can understand them.

Wheeljack is probably the character I identify with the most. I have had friends tell me that I remind them of him, hence my screen name. I'd like to think I am pretty smart and energetic. Wheeljack is someone who doesn't believe in limits, labels or giving up. He's stubborn in a good way. There are also times that like Wheeljack, I get absorbed into something I am passionate about and lose track of time. I also care a lot about others, even when I am physically distant. (Wheeljack spent some time away from the Autobots, but he did come back home)

Ratchet is a close second because he has been through a lot of difficult things and keeps going even though he feels frustrated at times. He is very caring but is reserved about it, which is something I understand very well. I'm stoic myself and I think people make the mistake of seeing stoic people and think we are uncaring. Nothing could be further from the truth - think of the episode "Stronger, faster" where Ratchet wishes he could do more. Stoic folks do care, we just prefer to keep an even keel (or sometimes a grumpy face) rather than be animated about it.

I would say I'm equal parts Dinobot, Cheetor and Rattrap from Beast Wars.

I'm an easy-going, fun-loving smartass who can be a stubborn jerk sometimes and who doesn't take any sh*t from anyone. If only I could be as fast as Cheetor or have Dinobot's fighting skills it would be perfect.

Ah. Forgot to mention the part I have of Dinobot is the desire to maintain a code of honor at least in all matters. It helps me balance it out in my head.

That is a good question but...

A lot of my friends consider me to be similar to Acid Storm since I am smart, serious and very private. At the same time, I can be looked at as similar to Ion Storm since I developed him before he became official. He can be considered as my fun, lively side.

What a good (and tough) question.... :-?

What I'd like to say is Dinobot, but if I'm being honest I'd have to Rodimus Prime. Only I don't think I whine as much :lol:

Movieverse Optimus. Every time I see him on screen, it literally feels like I'm watching myself on the big screen. It's the greatest phenomenon I've ever experienced. He stands for righteousness. He's noble, just, and selfless, even after the entire world has turned against him and wants nothing more than to end his life. But won't hesitate rip someone's face off and feed it to them should the situation call for it.

There's nothing noble or selfless about you Sly. Righteous? Try arrogance.

nah, you're more like G1 Wheelie. That annoying kid brother everyone else keeps around because it's cool to have a mascot. :-P

Me? I couldn't pick which one I'm even remotely close to. Which one was a smartass asshole again?

I take it back. After my lawl at Burn there, I realize I'm much more like Rattrap. I'm a leader of sorts, as in I'm management. But Rattrap only did it when he had to, and I'm only middle management. I'm a total wise-ass but get serious when it's needed. Yup. Rattrap is totally my spirit animal.

And I'm born in the year of the rat! Yessss.... everything is making so much sense now :-?

I wouldn't know, really, but I would like to find out :lol:

Rewind has the trivia bit covered, but the rest not really. Not that sociable, gets nervous in large groups, can be moody (Quickswitch maybe?), what else... friendly I guess so I'm at least an Autobot.
