    When it comes to Transformers characters we like or dislike them for reaosn for what they look like,what their characters are,etc. But at times our opinons change.Likeat first you like one character but than grew to dislike that characters. But there's also when you dislike a character at first but then overtime you came to appreaciate them a lot more than before.

    Which is todays topic. What TF character that you disliked at first but than came to really like him/her later? Mine are

    TFP Soundwave: Like many people I was taken aback about how he looked. He looked strange and unaturel. Not to mention very different from what we're used to. However as I began to get into TFP more I began to see a lot of things which I like about him. He's strange yes but at the same time it works! He was always the more alien type of the Transformers and since the creators said they wanted to capture his personalty through the design it really shows. Also his silence does speak more of him than talikng because it keeps him all the more intresting! He can speak but he chose not to for a reason. So fans are waiting for the moment that he'll finally speak and it may be worth it!


    Agent Simmons: He started out as a typical secret agent jerk like most films but he does get more funnier overtime in the films.

    Miko: I'm not gonna lie. She's a human character that REALLY gets on my nerves! However as TFP progresses,she does have some good points to her,such as not being afraid when the sietiation calls for it. She does in way shows more concern for her friends though it's not a drastic change. While she's still iritating she does have good points and I'm waiting in Season 2 when she finally gets soem much needed character development.

    So what are yours?

    I never hated her, but at first I found Miko annoying and now seh's grown onto me. I also warmed up to Mearing since she wsn't as much as a jerk as Galloway.

    I hated Wreck Gar, but felt bad when I bought the new figure, so he's OK now.
    I really used to dislike Galvatron, Nightbeat, Straxus too, but they have all grown on me now. Movie Barricade was one I warmed up to also

    Rodimus Prime. Probably a character you can only really appreciate once you've grown up a bit yourself. Re-watching season 3 as a thirtysomething was a bit of a revelation for me.

    Starscream, Straxus and Shockwave. I hated anyone trying to topple Megatron.

    Optimus Prime. Quite the whiner in Marvel but Cullen was magnificent in the Baymovies and he had a mouth. Face plates and facial hair on TF's bug me for some reason.

    Bumblebee. Hated him until the Baymovies.

    Kup. Roche has improved my opinion of him.

    Ratbat. Just seemed silly that he was Con leader. Best thing Scorponok ever did was kill him.

    Arcee. Hated her until IDW made her interesting.

    Grimlock. Hated him until Furman's US run.

    Arcee- hated her before Prime made her one of my favourite characters.
    Wheelie- hated him until the movies made him funny.

    Wheelie went from hate to adore thanks to the movies. Ditto Bumblebee but for Animated as well as the movies. Starscream thanks to Animated. Jetfire thanks to ROTF.

    Actually I like Prime in G1 better than I like the Prime in TFP.

    G1 Arcee I'm not crazy about, but I like TFP Arcee.

    G1 Megatron I didn't like but I like TFP Megatron.

    Nightscream, sure he's annoying as heck, but atleast he can talk. Unlike a certain a yellow bot that acts like R2D2 these days.

    Megatron, the first time I saw him in the films, he looked like crap, but I got used to his design and it grew on me since.

    That's such a bizzare and forced comparrison. And I don't know how him talking somehow makes him better. I wish he couldn't talk. At least Bumblebee isn't whiney poor-me late 90's barf. I will take not speaking over horrible voices and characters any day of the week, and I honestly don't understand how anyone could disagree. Do you really need a character to talk to relate to them? What, do you not consider real life mutes to not be people?

    ROTF Wheelie. In ROTF, I could not stand him. Probably because of the leg humping. But after DOTM, I started to like him a bit more. Better than I liked the Twins actually.
