I’ve had a lot of people complaining since I’ve installed that decal on the hood of my car (see previous post) about why I chose the Decepticons instead of the Autobots.

The main argument of those Autobots lovers is, since it’s a CAR, it had to be an Autobot. Hell no! The Decepticons have several wheeled vehicles in their line-up and the Autobots have got several ‘non-cars’ in theirs so that’s not a very valid argument (You know what? Next time I own an F-15 I’ll put an Autobot decal on it, how ’bout that?)

The other argument is about the overall ‘coolness’ of the Autobots VS the Decepticons. Coolness? Oh come on! All of the Autobots have this side of cool is Optimus Prime. Pretty much all of the rest are lame (come on, their 2 mini-vans don’t even have a freaking head!) with the possible exception of Jazz (the cartoon one, not the ‘I-got-2-lines-then-I-die‘ movie one) since Jetfire/Skyfire doesn’t count. Yeah he is probably the coolest of all Transformers BUT he is a rip-off from Macross and he was, after all, originally a Decepticon).

Now the Decepticons are something else: they’ve got 2 guns, several jet fighters, some construction vehicles (and what can be manlier than construction?) that can turn into a giant, they’ve got a guy that can turn into BOTH a tank AND a fighter jet for crying out loud. They even have a freaking tape deck that can throw a panther and birds of prey at you, how can you be any cooler than that?

And don’t get started about the good guy / bad guy thing. The ONLY freaking transformer that can create (empty) Energon cubes is Soundwave (SOUNDWAVE damn it, this has to be the coolest name ever!) how can the Autobots even survive then? I’ll tell you how: they keep the cubes that the Decepticons create by stealing energy from humans. So I ask you, who is more evil: the guy who steals from you, or the guy who took back your money from the bully but spent it himself instead of giving it back to you?

You fail me yet again, Starscream!
