Who is your favourite Transformer character from each side (lemmy.world)

For the Autobots - My favourite character is Grimlock, it's such a cool thing to have a transforming robot T Rex and that immediately made me like the character from G1 cartoon and the Fall of Cybertron game.

For tbe Decepticons - Brawl of the combaticons, I really like tanks and this character was drawn to me with his rugged, battle tested design in the games and films. Oh and the fact he turns into a friggin' tank.

Who more than meets the eye for you from each side?

For Decepticons it's the original Soundwave. I love the voice, the mono lense eye, the cassette minions he spawns, and the fact he turns into a boombox instead of a military vehicle is baller.

For Autobots I'm going to cheat and pick Dinobot the Maximal from the old Beast Wars cartoon. I liked the redemption arc, his noble warrior personality, his weird spinning tail weapon, and the fact his raptor form is "generic dinosaur" in my head.

Beast Wars is my GOAT Transformer series. I figured it was nostalgia, but I rewatched during the pandemic and it honestly held up better than I remember. Even the weird early digital animation is impressive in context. So many interesting characters and motivations, too. And the sweetest extra on top is Megatron's dialogue. Yeeeeess!

I was so invested in that show's ongoing plot as a kid. The writers put a lot more thought into it than they needed to. And the voice actors were all awesome, especially Megatron.
