Well, that question really divides me down the middle.
Well, at first glance it seems like being a Transformer is the way to go. Nothing like being immortal, having alternate modes, being a walking talking piece of technological perfection, and hanging with the Autobots would be rule. The downsides: You're immortal, and your species' war ruined your home world, the rest of the universe would fear you (Autobot or not), and all your immortal friends would die as a result of this war. Also, Transformer culture that isn't war related is practically doesn't exist anymore, and all those resources that could've bring the culture back are spent on war.
A Star Trek Captain would get easily killed by a Transformer, shorter lifespan, and you're dependent upon the ship and the crew to get anything done. The flip side: Star Ship Captains of the Federation are welcomed or respected everywhere, cause they're everywhere. All your enemies have to conquer other species, but everyone wants to join your side. A good Federation Star ship can kill most Transformers with a single phaser blast, and the only Transformers that can put up a fight are biggest space flight capable ones, but your Federation fleets out number the hell out of them. Also, technically speaking your entire crew are certified geniuses with access to some amazing technology, while the transformers can count only a few true geniuses in their ranks. ST:TNG had dozens of episodes where they saved universes, planets, and people without firing a single shot, and you don't have to micro manage the crew at all.
Damn it all, I'll be a Transformer anyway, but only if I'm on par with Perceptor, Wheeljack and Fort Max in the science/tech skills.
