And Today, Let's Talk About Autobots!

Well, I'm going to have to go with Optimus Prime as my all time favorite. He's pretty much everyone's favorite, but for good reason. He's the leader of the Autobots, and the last of the Primes. Optimus used to be called Orion Pax, but after he was injured and the Autobots needed a leader, he was rebuilt into Optimus Prime and given the Matrix of Leadership. (It explains his story more in the 1980s cartoon). What I love about Optimus is that all he wants is peace, and refuses to hurt anyone that doesn't pose a threat. He's incredibly caring and inspirational.

Probably another obvious pick, but seriously, how can you not like Bumblebee? He's so cute and caring. Even though he's one of the smallest Autobots, he's one of the bravest. He's always trying to show that he's just as brave and capable as the bigger, stronger Autobots. Bumblebee is one of the best fighters, and many of the Autobots look up to him. If you haven't seen the cartoons, you might not know that Bumblebee CAN ACTUALLY TALK. I don't really understand why Bumblebee never really got his voice back in any of the live-action Transformers movies. But maybe he will in the fourth movie. =)
Man, Ironhide is so BA! He's the weapons specialist for the Autobots, and he loves to shoot stuff. He's super brave and always confident in himself. One of my favorite lines from Ironhide is in the 2007 Transformers movie when he says "The parents are very irritating... Can I take them out?"
"Ironhide, you know we don't harm humans! What is with you?" replies Optimus.
Ironhide just shrugs and says "Well, I'm just saying we could. It's an option"
Ratchet is basically the doctor for the Autobots. He doesn't like to fight, but he will when he has to. Ratchet is cool to me because he helps any Autobot that is injured, and sometimes he even helps Decpeticons, even when they don't deserve it (watch Transformers Prime, it'll make more sense haha) Ratchet it also super smart. I mean, just listen to him talk. Some of the things he says go right over my head!
Cliffjumper is probably one of the lesser known Autobots, but he's seriously awesome. He's small like Bumblebee, and he's one of the most adventurous. He can jump pretty high (hence, the name Cliffjumper). He's always taking on dangerous tasks and missions to prove himself. Cliff is also really funny. He's like the teenager that always makes you laugh.

Jazz is the cool guy robot. He's so smooth in everything he says and does. He can shoot a grappling hook out of his hand, so he can swing around and get to high places very easily (and look cool while doing it) I wish they wouldn't of killed of Jazz in the first Transformers movie. He was so awesome!
Wheeljack is a smart, but sometimes overconfident Autobot that like to invent things. A lot of his inventions don't exactly work out though, and he's often having to be repaired by Ratchet. In vehicle mode, he can do all kinds of tricks and likes to show off his moves. He's a pretty cool robot!
Oh man, Dino is so cool! He actually has another name: Mirage. In Transformers: Dark of the Moon, they call him Dino. He has an awesome Mexican accent and talks in Spanish once in a while. He cares a lot about his appearance, and freaks out if he gets one little scratch or dent on himself. Dino is a really good fighter, and he has awesome whips with hooks on the ends that he can use to grab Decepticons or whatever it is he does with his weapon.
Arcee is one of the few female Autobots. She was in Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, but they hardly included her and of course killed her off. Even though she's a girl, she's a tough fighter and has a strong hate for the Decepticons. Arcee will do anything to protect her Autobot and human companions, and is a pro at hand-to-hand combat.

Well, I think that's enough for now. I still have homework to do =O I know that there's so many more Autobots I could do, but I'll have to do them another time. And as always, thanks for reading :)
