MY 5 PERSONAL FAVORITE TRANSFORMERS CHARACTERS


Transformers has been on television since the early 80’s. It’s popularity among the new generation may have started when the launching of the Transformers toy line was made by one of the biggest toy distributors  Hasbro.
My Son's Transformers collection

On 2010, my son bought his first original Transformers at Duty Free Phils.  He started collecting since then and at present, after only a year, he has 18 original Transformers of different sizes. 

I learned from him that there are so many characters…. from the TV series Transformers Armada, Transformers Animated,  to the Marvel Comics of the same name to the very popular Transformers movies and the Transformers PSP, Nintendo and online games.  From  among them, I chose my 5 personal favorites.   


5. Jetfire
Jetfire has the ability to powerlink with the more popular Optimus Prime, 
becoming Jet Optimus.  Together, they create a very strong Autobot.

            The picture below is a version from Transformers 2 Revenge of the Fallen.  
His character in this movie is old and clumsy but I find him adorable.  
His jet mode is so huge.
           





4. Autobot Wheelie 
He is a relatively small  and young Transformers. 
His endurance is not as great as the others, 
but his intelligence and sheer determination  often makes him fight fearlessly 
even against the most hopeless situation.        
  




3. Megatron
The leader of the Decepticons (the bad guys). 
After his near total destruction by the allspark, he returned in Transformers 3. 
Nothing can stop him from destroying the autobots completely especially its leader Optimus Prime.  
He is smart and powerful enough to present a real threat to earth.
This is the toy version of Megatron  from the Movie Transformers 3 Dark of the Moon. 

            



2. Bumblebee
A Chevrolet Camaro in vehicle mode. 
He decided to upgrade as many of his systems as he could and made his weapons accessible.  
Now, when the decepticons come around, he’ll be ready.
           


1. Optimus Prime
Supreme Commander of the Autobots (the good guys).  
He has been a warrior so long that his body has become a huge arsenal of powerful weapons.  Among the most powerful are his energy swords.  They are sharp enough to cut through any decepticon armor.  He  is a trailer in vehicle mode.
