#but for transformers

[blu-red-purpl]

Was thinking about a post that talked about how a transformer's personality is shown through their alt mode.

And while I agree, I'm struggling to think of anything for the vehicular characters.

Like I could go on about how g1 Megatron being a gun showcases his origins of being a protector (guns were made originally for protection), his decline into violent madness (guns being a symbol of war and its history of harm), even his pride (weapons are often used as symbols of pride).

But Optimus? Him being a truck symbolises his heavy burden and capability of carrying it and that he's strong. But that feels kinda basic, like what does a truck even mean?

And I don't even know what to say about the fliers. They're fast? Some are strong, some are big? The best I can say is for Twitch with her drone form being about how she's carefree and a kid while also highlighting her role in the war.

I've talked to some people on discord but I'm interested in more responses. You could even talk about another transformer, the more the merrier.
