"He's torn between his honour and the true love of his life. He prayed for both, but was denied." ~Hand of Sorrow - Within Temptation

As a dedicated and loyal fan to the Autobot leader, Optimus Prime, I cannot say how happy I am to see him in every Transformer series I have watched. However, I can say that I was extremely impressed with the way he was done in the Movieverse series. While he is brutal and less compassionate than what most fans thought, "Because war can change you when you fight for so long," says my grandpa, but Optimus is still the Autobot leader we know and love because of his determination to fight for the freedom of all sentient beings and those he cares about the most.

I am also a die-hard fan of the younger, cocky and arrogant bots such as Hot Shot, Hot Rod, Bumblebee, and Cheetor. Why? Because young characters undergo character-growth throughout the series while still being fun to watch as they run off to prove themselves worthy in their superiors' eyes/optics. Without them, there's obviously no point in having any teen-sparklings in our midst, isn't there? That is why most of my fanfics surround father/son relationship bonding between Optimus Prime and Hot Shot in the Armada series. Why? Because I sense, between them, a bond that only exists every now and then in episodes that are rarely seen or noticed by anyone. I don't care if people find Shotty and Roddy annoying. I just love them for who they are and I am glad that they exist.
