Transformer Personality Test

I am Optimus Prime, leader of the Autobots and I cannot believe my optical sensors.

When Autobot Jazz insisted that I start this blog project, he said that there were other "cool" things on this Internet to try out. Today he sent me a Transformers personality test.

"Hey Prime," Autobot Jazz said. "Try this test, man. It's the cat's pajamas!"


I am not sure what night garments for domesticated felines have to do with this test, but I took it nonetheless.

Your Score: Grimlock


You scored 60% Leadership, 46% Loyalty, 31% Confidence, and 7% Cunning!



What to say? You are super loyal and super leadership material. The Decepticons hate you. Your confidence can vary, but only because you are very realistic about your chances. The bad thing is that a big lumbering dino and a brain the size of a peanut don't allow for too much cunning. Oh well, you make up for it with those big nasty teeth.

I could not believe that the results showed that I was Grimlock. Grimlock! Now don't think I am not appreciative of him, he is a fine warrior and an effective leader of the Dinobots, but he is not Optimus Prime. I am Optimus Prime, leader of the Autobots and holder of the Matrix of Leadership.

So I thought that perhaps I didn't answer this test correctly and I took it again.


Your Score: Megatron


You scored 50% Leadership, 26% Loyalty, 52% Confidence, and 34% Cunning!



Old school leadership ࠬa bad guy style. You are at the top of your game, and are easily the brains in the group. But be careful, not all are pleased with you. You don't have any qualms knocking off your own kind if it will achieve a common goal. Confidence? Who needs that when you have the scariest gun in the Transformer arsenal? Hell, you ARE the scariest gun in the Transformer arsenal.

Megatron! That is far worse than Grimlock as Megatron is leader of the Decepticons and he engages in evil activites such as creating tidal waves to create Energon cubes and destroying oil refineries to create Energon cubes. Surely I must take this test again.

Your Score: Grimlock


You scored 30% Leadership, 72% Loyalty, 55% Confidence, and 29% Cunning!



What to say? You are super loyal and super leadership material. The Decepticons hate you. Your confidence can vary, but only because you are very realistic about your chances. The bad thing is that a big lumbering dino and a brain the size of a peanut don't allow for too much cunning. Oh well, you make up for it with those big nasty teeth.

Once again, the results indicated that I was Grimlock. I will take Grimlock over Megatron any day, but I get the feeling in my circuits that this test has but two answers.

Omega Supreme

I am Optimus Prime, leader of the Autobots, and I don't know what to do with Omega Supreme.

Omega Supreme, as you know, is our last line of defense. He is a powerful battle station and a giant and mighty warrior. He almost always appears stoic, something the humans call "The strong and silent type."

That's why I don't understand his actions following the latest Decepticon attack. Supreme was holding off a wave of the planes when Rumble ran up and hit his leg with one of his hydraulic pile drivers.


"Time for you to tumble with Rumble, heh heh."


Rumble hit Omega right in the ankle joint and the big guy went down hard. He doesn't seem to be permanently damaged from the battle, but he won't let Ratchet or anyone else look at his ankle. He won't even talk to anyone, he just sits off by himself and sulks.

Hopefully he will snap out of it when next the Decepticons attack.

Working Undercover

I apologize for my extended absence in the past several days. The Autobots recieved word that the Decepticons were about to hatch a new evil plan in the city but we didn't know what it was.

I had no other choice but to go undercover into the city to try to find out what their scheme was.


"I don't think you should go into the city like this, Prime," my military strategist Prowl advised. "If the Decepticons spot you, you'll never find out what their plans are."

"Nonsense, my old friend," I replied. "I am a Transformer. They will never spot me."

"how about if I go instead," he suggested. "I turn into a police car and can slip around the streets more easily."

"That is a good plan, my friend," I said. "But my mind is made up. I will not rest until the Decepticons are stopped."

Unfortunately, I did not find the Decepticons nor their evil plans. I do not understand why I failed this mission.

Skids

I am Optimus Prime, leader of the Autobots and I am not sure what's going on with Skids.

I knew that the Decepticons were in the city, so I put together a recon force consisting of Bumblebee, Hoist, and Skids to go check it out.


"The city?" Skids said. "No problem, Optimus, I've been meaning to go there to get my chassis cleaned."


"You going to some carwash or something?" Hoist asked. "Maybe I could go as well."

"No, you wouldn't like it there," Skids insisted. "I'll just go there by myself."

"That is the third time this week you said that you were going to get washed," I noted. "Is there something goin on, is there more here than meets my audio receptors?"

"No, no Prime!" Skids exclaimed. "I just want to go get cleaned. There's a lot of dirt around here, you know."

"Well then I want to go," Hoist said. "I get dirty too."

"No really, I'm sure you wouldn't like where I'm going," Skids replied. "They, uh, use really rough bristles."

"Big deal, I can take it." Hoist poked his chest with his thumb. "I'm a big Autobot."

They went on and on like this for another 20 breems until I finally had to tell them to stop. I told Skids to just go to the car wash and Hoist to leave him alone. Hoist complained but they both transformed and rolled out to the city for their assignemnet. Honestly, I don't know what's up with Skids.

Skyfire

I am Optimus Prime, leader of the Autobots and we had quite an unusual occurrence today.

Our headquarters the Ark has been embedded in the side of a volcano for nearly 4 million years. That is quite a long time, even for a Transformer. As you may know, after a few million years, the paint starts to chip and fade. So I asked Skyfire to fly to Planet Depot to pick up some blue paint.

"No problem, Prime," Skyfire responded. "I'll be back in a flash."


Skyfire quickly transformed into his Cybertronian jet mode and flew off to the Planet Depot to pick up the paint.

Unfortunately, it appears that Megatron had similar plans and sent Astrotrain to go pick up a load of red paint from that very same Planet Depot.

They met in the parking lot after picking up their respective loads and attacked each other. They quickly took to the skies and began dogfighting, flying around and around over the planet and firing their weapons in an attempt to shoot the other down. The battle culminated in the two crashing headlong into each other and crashing back to the ground with both the red and blue paint splashing everywhere.

Obviously, both of them are now marooned.

Bumblebee

I am Optimus Prime, leader of the Autobots and I am starting to think that I was a little too harsh on Bumblebee in my earlier post.

Of course, he is the weakest of the Autobots and his ability to fight Decepticons is severely limited. That goes without saying. He has been, however, a valuable member of the Autobots both when we were on Cybertron and now here on Earth.

His value, I have realized, is as a scout. Teaming up with the Human named Spike, Bumblebee has been eager to learn of Earth's customs. Transforming into his car mode, he is able to slip around unnoticed and observe potential Decepticon targets.

Yes, as a scout, Bumblebee is without equal. I am proud to have this Autobot on my team as a scout, scouting hazards and keeping on the lookout for Decepticons. Yes, Bumblebee is very valuable as a scout indeed.

At the DMV

I went to the DMV today to get my drivers license and after waiting for a long, long time (it seemed even longer than spending 4 million years under a volcano), I finally got the opportunity to drive for the instructor.


He ran me through a checklist of driving maneuvers. Stopping, starting, turning, backing up, turning, parking, stop signs, stop lights, and after what seemed like 40 mega-cycles he told me that I passed the road portion and now had to take the written test.

I had no difficulty with the written test as I was able to memorize the entire rules of the road book through my photoreceptors. I finished quickly and was then instructed to wait for to have my picture taken.

"Wow, like who are you?" I young woman asked me.

"I am Optimus Prime, leader of the Autobots," I answered. "I am here to receive a drivers license."

"Oh yeah, I'm totally renewing mine, too," she replied. "My name's Jerrica. Have you been here long?"

"I have been here for 23 breems, though I have to admit it feels much longer."

"Oh yeah, I know what you mean," she said. "It, like, takes forever around here. Oh, and you know what's worse? They take awful photos here. It's outrageous how bad all of my licences have looked. Truly truly truly outrageous."

"I am not worried about that," I answered. "I do not believe that I can take a 'bad photo' as you say."

"Well, good luck," Jerrica said as she got up to take her photo. Minutes later, I saw her take her new licence and then groan audibly.

"Optimus Prime?" the clerk called out.

"I am Optimus Prime, leader of the Autobots," I said as I raised my hand.

The clerk instructed me to sit and look at the camera and within a moment, I heard the click of the device. Several Astroseconds later and I am now the proud owner of my own drivers license.

Not a good day

I am Optimus Prime, leader of the Autobots and today was not a very good day.

I led the Autobots into the city today to stop the Decepticons. We bravely fought them off and they quickly flew away, retreating to their undersea base. I then gave the command for the Autobots to transform and roll out.







Evidently, when my trailer flew in to attach itself to me, it rammed through a "mail truck" and two "taxicabs" along the way. Why these vehicles couldn't get out of the way is something I do not understand.


I was then pulled over by one of the city's police officers who asked for my license and registration. "I do not have a license and registration, officer," I said. "I am Optimus Prime, leader of the Autobots."

"Well, I don't care if you're the Queen of England, pal," he answered. "In my city, you need a license to drive."


So he gave me a "ticket" and sent me to a place called a "DMV" where I could get a license.

I tell you, nothing like this happened back on Cybertron.

Cough Cough Cough






I'm not feeling so well today....

I think I caught a virus or something...

Hopefully, I will feel better tomorrow.
