Transformers

Transformers has always been one of my favourite cartoons, alongside Thundercats, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, DragonBall, and the many Disney cartoons! Now that Transformers is gonna be on the big screen soon, let's have a peek at the characters! Drool on!

OPTIMUS PRIME

My favourite hero, I called him the "Blue-Red Trailer" when I was small. Optimus Prime is the heroic leader of the Autobots. He's the personification of courage, strength, and integrity. His personal motto is that "Freedom is the right of all sentient being".

BUMBLEBEE

An an Autobot spy, Bumblebee is the ultimate robot in disguise. What he lacks in size and strength, he makes up for with courage. He enjoys the company of humans and would do anything for his Earthy friends.

JAZZ

Jazz picked his sports car form because it's the epitome of style. If there's one thing he digs about Earth, it's human culture.

IRONHIDE

Ironhide is the toughest Autobot around. More than one Decepticon has busted an O-ring just from seeing him narrow his eyes. He sees himself as the cold, steel fist backing up Prime's inspiring words.

RATCHET

Ratchet is the Autobot's chief mechanic, engineer, and medical expert. There's nothing he can't fix. As a pacifist, he'd rather solve problems peacefully than fight.

MEGATRON

Megatron is the leader of the Decepticons. He will stop at nothing to establish his empire and destroy the Autobots, starting with Optimus Prime.

BARRICADE

Barricade is a born hunter. On Cybertron, he made his name tracking and destroying fleeing Autobots. On Earth he took the form of a police car to subvert the public's trust in authority (another favourite character of mine!).

STARSCREAM

Starscream has delusions of grandeur. He chose to resemble an F-22 jet because it's the pinnacle of human technical achievement. He serves Megatron but longs to fill his shoes.

BLACKOUT

Blackout lives for the chaos of the battlefield and delights in destruction. As a military helicopter, Blackout is also the heavy lifter that other Decepticons rely on for transport over long distance.

FRENZY

Frenzy is a chaotic spy turned boom box, sent by the Decepticons to infiltrate enemy strongholds (hate him!).
