Favorite characters now and then.
It just occured to me that there is quite a lot of depth in some of the transformers characters, and they show a lot of personality traits that are, well, fairly advanced for a children's show - which might not have been spotted by children.
So with this in mind, I was wondering if anyone has a favorite character that's different from the one they had as a child (and who those characters are).
Funnily enough, I never had a favorite character, but I always liked watching the Dinobots, for a couple of reasons.
1. I used to love dinosaurs - I had a massive collection of models, bought from museums and as gifts - which ended up as cannon fodder to my micromaster hordes in later years.
2. They just kicked so much butt.
Now though, I think Megatron is my favorite - he's just so... manipulative and cunning, something which as a kid, I didn't notice. He also seems more evil than Galvatron somehow...
Anyway, sorry if this has been already talked about to death - but when I looked over the previous posts prior to joining, I couldn't see any mention of it.

I was also crazy about Dinosaurs back then. My favourite was Stegosaurus, so Snarl was a particular (and obvious) favourite of mine.
Consequently I always got annoyed that Snarl was the most overlooked Dinobot in the cartoons, hardly getting a look in. Why he was left out of the movie i'll never know.
So apart from him my favourite Transformers back then were;
- Jazz
- Hound
Now, probably still Jazz and Hound, though Prowl is pretty cool too. My tastes haven't changed because I haven't gotten any smarter in the intervening years.

Hot Rod was my favorite then, and still is now. I like Optimus Prime a lot more now.

Then: Wheelie and Bumblebee. I didn't watch the cartoon much and couldn't read, so I just stole the 2 cutest tf toys from my brother's room. Plus they were about the only ones I could actually transform on my own.
Now: Sixshot, Shockwave and Starscream.
