Who is your favourite Transformer character from each side (self.asklemmy)

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?

Go!

This really depends on which version we're talking about. Transformers as a franchise is rather inconsistent... This is my love hate franchise, I'm either all in or I absolutely hate it.

I think across most iterations I'm going to say Optimus Prime, Jetfire, and Megatron are characters I usually like.

But one of my favorite characters is Starscream from Transformers Prime, he is absolutely hilarious if you haven't seen the show. Loved it. Typically Starscream is one of my least liked characters everywhere else.

The comics have a lot of variety in their art, I like Don Figueroa's Jetfire a lot ( https://i.pinimg.com/originals/c7/48/46/c7484659f119f6f9a27bfbb6e2332291.jpg ) and the majority of Alex Milne and Nick Roche's designs.

Hell yes, TFP Starscream is so over the top. At first I was like WHAT HAVE THEY DONE TO HIM but the more you watch the series, the more hilarious he becomes. TFP was so great on so many levels.

Alex Milne is my favorite artist in the IDW comics. My partner got a commission from him of Fortress Maximus for my birthday one year and it's like my most prized possession ever, his work is so intricate and amazing.

That commission sounds epic!
