Imagine having a friend who is also a wise, kindly truck. It'd fix me I think.

(Transformers Prime) Introducing Them to Shows/Movies

Optimus: He doesn’t want to appear rude, but at first his interest in things like that is minimal. He has paused his Prime tasks and deep thought to observe briefly out of curiosity, but it’s not something that he feels inclined to immerse himself in. He’ll listen to you talk about them if it’s something you’re interested in, and certainly give you undivided attention for amounts of time.

The stories he’s most drawn to, if any, are heartwarming tales that focus more on the good of humanity.

Bumblebee: He really likes television. Bring on the movies! He will spend hours binging a show or having a movie marathon, and is fairly open to new things to a point.

He hangs out with Raf a lot, so he’s gotten used to shows and movies aimed at younger audiences right off the bat. Action and car chases are also a plus, if the overall tone of the movie isn’t too dark. He really gets into superhero movies that deal with good guys versus bad guys, with the good guys always winning in the end.

Ratchet: He regards such subjects with disdain and acts like these Earth things are beneath him, yet you catch him pausing mid-task with whatever tool or device in his hand as he watches the screen and slowly begins to get sucked in. He will act like he doesn’t care the second you notice him watching and continue on his way.

He’d be drawn to dramas like fictional crime, medical dramas, and even the occasional cheesy, romance flick. He may complain about the main characters, but it only betrays how invested he is in seeing the conflict resolved.

Bulkhead: He approaches TV and shows with an open mind initially and is down to learn more about Earth culture. He quickly finds that he does have preferences. True crime is something Miko watches on occasion, but he can’t stomach it. He gets a little queasy and even covers his face, so she doesn’t put it on a whole lot when he’s around.

He does, however, really like action movies. Guns and explosions are his thing, and he can really get into a movie with a tough main character.

Arcee: She isn’t super into television or movies unless it has a lot of action. She’s not into marathons or binges, but she will park herself for a period of time to enjoy a movie or show.

She really enjoys car chase scenes (especially with motorcycles). She digs the special effects and not-so-secretly has a tendency to take maneuvers she saw a bike do on TV and test whether it’s doable in real life.
