    So I remember reading that the original live action Transformers movie was all about a boy and his Transformer.

    This got me thinking about something. If you could choose a G1 Transformer to look out for you in the real world, who would you choose?

    Would you be a peace keeper or warmonger? Would this choice dictate your choice of Transformer?

    Would a Transformers ability to blend in be a factor?

    Would you choose a Transformer for a particular scenario in your life?

    Would you choose speed or fire power? Airborne or ground based? Stealth over domination? Brains over brawn or brawn over skill?

    Which Transformer would best compliment you and your requirements in life and why?

    Please stick to G1 Transformers if possible.

    G1 is my favorite series.

    That being said, none are really practical to "look out" for me in the real world. Too flashy (the porches and lambos etc.) if you're not extremely wealth, too conspicuous (fighter jets, tanks, etc.) if you're not in the armed forces, too antiquated to convince anyone (soundwave, bumblebee), or just outright too cybertronian.

    As the ultimate "i don't give a shit" I would probably choose Fortress Maximus. My own city, my own fortress, my own super robot, and my own flying space battleship. Done. No one's gonna fuck with me.

    My answer is self evident.

    I'm pretty sure several of them would object to the prospect of being "owned".

    Why G1?

    That's like literally the most boring possible option.

    I pick Optimus Primal. Because he was a cool guy. But I don't own him, we're just buddies.

    Can I be with Cheetor? I want to be the kid appeal character's kid appeal character.

    ...I also wouldn't mind dating any fembots. Or even some of the guys. MasterZero is an open Love Guru.

    I can't agree with the concept of "owning" one, but I suppose a similar situation to Sam Witwicky is okay where he is assigned as your personal guardian.


    I think I'd choose First Aid, I think he'd be the coolest and I wouldn't mind traveling around with him because of his Defensor duties, if not him then I guess Ironfist.

    If for any reason I was put under the Decepticon Witness protection program I'd beg for Dead End, because I could literally have a comversation with the dude.

    Transformers don't want to be owned, they want to be partnered.

    Bonecrusher for me please.
    Then me an' ol' Boney could go and demolish some stuff, cause havok, get into trouble, not care about it, and get Devy to help out if we really got out of our depth.
    For some reason I really fancy being a total menace to society :ev:

    If I could be partnered with one, then I'd probably pick one of the robots that turns into something inconspicuous that people might carry around in their pocket or on their person, like a watch, cell phone, or a portable gaming device. Although, they'd have to be capable of mass-shifting, so they could at least be my height.

    I'd choose Autobot (he was an Autobot from G2). He is a triple changer, going from watch to robot to a time machine! Who in the hell wouldn't want to have- er, be partnered with, a time machine?

    Any Police car, Ambulance, Fire engine or Military vehicle would be out of the question. You can't hide em in plain sight because the relevant authorities would pick up on it!

    So that pretty much rules out the majority of Decepticons then.

    Sporty cards will get unwanted attention too. Goodbye Mirage, Sunstreaker, Sideswipe, Jazz and so on.......................

    I would therefore choose Trailbreaker. Doesn't stand out, but big and strong enough to be useful.

    Yeah I'm also not going with the OWNING thing.

    Although when I read the topic I didn't get the sense of "owning" a TF. More like the OP was saying if you could have your own TF that would be with you, be your partner, protect you etc. More like someone who is choosing to be with you compared to being owned.

    Just wanted to post this because I think people are taking the word "Your OWN" TF in the wrong context.

    That's what I thought. Somebody actually said that slavery had been abolished or something. Way, way over the top!
