Fun conversators, people into music, people passionate about life and the things that do it for them and yeah, this is cheap and tawdry: cute boys and/or men.

Optimus Prime. He always seemed to have it together, even when the cruel decepticons had control of all the world's energon cube supply and the price hit $2.00 a gallon. He always seeked unilateral support with the dinobots and could pronounce words like nuclear and terror and America. He never gave out uncontested contracts to the Constructicons and always had an exit strategy in combat (usually involving that big red plane guy). Plus, he could transform from a semi tractor trailer to a robot. Oh, Optimus where are you now?
