How do your first bots reflect & affect you?

lets get to know each other a little better, okay?

Name 3-5 of your first Transformer,.
Dig deep,
And tell us, your friends, how that little piece of plastic & diecast helped you become you!

my premise:
I believe that our experiences,
and thus
our favorite toys
imprinted upon our psyches
and
molded us
- in even the tiniest way -
into the people we eventually became.

for example;
my first / favorite bots were

1. Soundwave
Logical, secretive, hungry for knowledge.
And more recently,
hopeful, deeply troubled by his mutation/gifts & always prepared for every eventuality
by carrying a cadre of "tools" & deeply cared for friends.

Just like me.

2. Ratchet
Medic
Grump
Caring
but still holds his own in a fight.
Willing to use a weapon
but gives up space for tools that will be more useful.
Always prepared.
He never gives up.
Never succumbs to the growing bleakness inside him.
Everyone's Uncle, brother or Grandpa.
Always considers the what-ifs and ramifications
Always moves forward regardless.
also
i became a Lifeguard at 15,
tried Med school
and worked as an EMT
because Ratchet proved
you can be a cantankerous bastard
and still be caring, loving and kind

just like me.

3. Prowl
because of this guy
i learned the good and useful qualities
of those who are nothing like me.
but also
i, like Prowl,
believe in
truth
facts
variables
rules
breaking rules if they are wrong, irreverent or stupid
but
some are absolute and immutable.
and stupidity
is its own reward.

just like me.

so that's the gist.
i hope you contribute and enjoy
our little probe into our Sparks
and Brain Modules.

i hope we get to know each other
and ourselves
a bit better.

at least
try!

Now that I think about it there might be something to this...

1. First Aid
He likes helping people and doesn't like fighting.

2. Scavenger
Quiet, tries to be helpful but sucks at it.

3. Mixmaster
Makes dangerous concoctions. I also cook up bad things like the Trash Sandwich which is maccas fries, maple syrup, several meats, cheese, and hotsauce. This is a sometimes food.

McDonalds fries. I didn't realise calling McDonalds 'Maccas' is probably an Australian thing. :-?
