So this is the first of two threads I'm starting here cause I'm just very curious what people thoughts are on the subject. Now I'm mostly going off what we have seen in comics, cartoons, and movies here not by tech specs. I got to thinking this with the recent release of Titans Return Brainstorm... Who would you consider the smartest Autobots in the Autobot Military? The first that come to mind are... Perceptor Highbrow Computron Brainstorm I guess Alpha Trion too? I don't know. I was even talking to someone and they thought Optimus should be number one cause he's the leader So who do you think are the smartest Autobots? I'd like to see your top fives or tens.
Highest to lowest... Computron Perceptor Alpha Trion Brainstorm Highbrow Wheeljack Ratchet Omega Supreme Jetfire Skids
Blurr had a high tech specs intelligence of 8. He tends to get underrated in the fandom. I don't think Highbrow is as smart as people think. He makes out he is but only had an intelligence of 7. Blurr Prowl Motorvator Flame Countdown Thunderclash Glitch. Rollouts partner who Dreamwave depicted as a spy master. I imagine he's like R2D2. Rapido Jazz Rad Nightbeat
If we are looking at overall intelligence I'd say you'd have to factor in Prime and Megatron. Not 'academically' but they have shown great smarts, especially Megatron in MTMTE (and Prime has had to keep pace for 4,000,000 years.) And yes, because I'm reading IDW I thought I'd include Megs as an Autobot for giggles. It takes a certain level of intelligence to run a war and co-ordinate everything, keeping your troops (and civilians) in line and lets face it the scale of the war was pretty much incomprehensible on our level. Otherwise I would say: Perceptor Brainstorm Wheeljack Prowl Ratchet Alpha Trion
