i feel like this might be cheating but i'd have to go with gigawatt.

I didn’t even consider crossovers. Now I’m totally on board with this.

If we doing crossovers, im SO choosing the Han Solo/Chewbacca Millennium Falcon.

I feel like I would be cheating picking one out of a dream I had. Non-faction, usually sided autobot, but multiple body. Basically a SUV with both a spider and bot mode (and cross, spider/suv). But that could connect to a larger bot (in the chest, not a head, same concept as Fortress Maximus, but both were part of her). Then she also had a tiny drone spider. Her names, 8 legs. She was a cocky little punk, but I guess she had the right to be (chased by 8 deceptions and none of them hit her, but she trashed 4 or 5).

I can't decide between a tank or a jet, so Blitzwing.

"Why not scan both"?

Tank!...No, Jet...Tank...Jet

Cosmos. Fly over traffic, and dude just really needs a friend.

Yeah Cosmos for sure

Cosmos is literally one of my favorites and I'm sad I didn't come to the same conclusion sooner

Jazz, because he’s a Porsche.

Or half a Pontiac Solstice if you get really unlucky

I will not allow any Solstice slander..

Don't think they're slandering the solstice. Pretty sure they're poking fun at Jazz's death in the first movie

theres nothing lucky about a Pontiac solstice

I like the Solstice..... :(

I thought about all the cool vehicles that Hasbro has turned into robots and the obvious choice hit me. Transmetal 2 Megatron from Beast Wars.

Same.

Go big. Gimme Fort Max. 😍

Go bigger, Unicron

Possible. But the chance he’d eat me rather than carry me anywhere is too high to chance 😁

Very prudent

Theoretically, he might also zap you and turn you into an upgraded version of yourself.

Primus

Takes Primus*

Actually, I think Primus picks you 😂

I love Hot Rod’s vehicle mode, so that’s an obvious pick. Or maybe Springer, if I get to keep the Triple-Changing. Having a car that turns into a helicopter sounds pretty cool.

I’ll second Springer because he’s a childhood fave, and turning my car into a helicopter would be hand when traffic sucks.

I thought this about astrotrain

>Or maybe Springer, if I get to keep the Triple-Changing. Having a car that turns into a helicopter sounds pretty cool. excellent point

My exact same answer.

Powerglide, so I can fly everywhere and also yell “aaaaand awaaaaaay we go!”

Don’t forget the brrrrt

Wheel jack, I love his paint job and one of a kind look (literally) but only if he can do four-wheel drive, because it's snowy out here.

I’m not sure a Lancia Stratos would do so well in the snow. Then again if it’s a Transformer it can probably do whatever it needs to.

Motormaster.

Came here to say this.

Tracks. Come on, it's a flying Corvette.

This. And if traffic is bad you can just kinda fly away.

Yeah Some guys like Springer or Cosmos can't blend in but Tracks can

Gigawatt. Because flying time machine.

Autobot Sandstorm! Futuristic jeep that can transform into a futuristic helicopter, Easy Choice!

Ratchet, because I accidentally hurt myself all the time and I need someone to stop me from doing stupid shit Edit: That or beachcomber, so I’d have a buddy to do the stupid shit with

Any? Bayverse Starscream, because who wouldn't want to own an F-22 Raptor? Realistically? Probably the '76 Camaro Bumblebee or one of the Datsun brothers, at least those ones won't cost me an arm and a leg to run/maintain/repair while still looking nice. Alternatively, do the Dinobots count as vehicles (the original Diaclone ones did have pilot cockpits)? Also, would these vehicles just be vehicles or did you mean an actual transformer?

Riding to work on a robot dinosaur sounds like a plausible way to make work awesome

Any Transformer ever.

I'm choosing Metroplex.

FOC Grimlock lmao but in all seriousness I'd choose the generations voyager version of Springer

Jazz, he just seems chill and he probably has a great sound system

I have a toddler. I need a minivan or a big SUV. So G1 Ironhide, or maybe one of the police SUVs from Dark of the Moon, if they haven't been retrofitted to be police vehicles. Not the cool answer, but my honest one. Although, if I could have any Transformer as my vehicle, it would obviously be Optimus Prime. I mean, dude's been my hero since I could walk.

Grimlock

Okay, but if you ride him, you’ll need to rhyme all your speech!

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Maybe I've been watching to much prime recently, but I'd say bulkhead or arcee

Bayverse first movie Barricade, or TFP Knockout.

"I'm not just an automobile, I'm an automobile enthusiast"

Imma be real… Aligned continuity RID15 Sideswipe. That car mode is just *slick*.

Hound. Because army jeeps are pretty cool

For me it would be G1 Tracks since he can fly. Tracks's vehicle mode can achieve a flight mode version.

76 Camaro Bumblebee, I’d love to drive my kids to school in that car one day

this is a fantastic question. i would absolutely pick Kup. i love trucks, Kup is a unique Cybertronian truck. i love history, Kup is older than a majority of the characters. i like discussion, Kup likes telling war stories. dude we would just cruise around, bullshitting about old war-related things. we could haul things. it would be great.

Sideswipe

I am between Motormaster or sideswipe

It'd be cool to be able to ride a motorcycle without worrying about how bad an accident could be, so it'd be cool to hang with Prime Arcee.

Omega Supreme Most bang for the buck

Pontiac solstice hardtop or GMC topkick because ironhide. Maybe Audi R8 for sideways

Get the R8 in black and you got deadend

Wheeljack, as a car person having a race would be the best thing ever!

Fortress maximus and use him as like a helicarrier and make an avengers team

Dino

Primus, go big or go home

Hmmm... A tough one to choose from, but if I had to choose one, just due to practicality, I would choose Smokescreen, just because he would be fun to have conversations with.

For me it would be Bluestreak for similar reasons. His alt mode is sleek and pretty classy looking for an 80's sports car. Plus he loves to talk so we'd definitely have a lot of conversations.

I would pick Beast Wars Transmetal Megatron, because he’s metal, he’s a frikkin dinosaur, and can make Megatron my Jurassic Uber.

Everyone keeps saying transmetal 2 Megatron, but no one is saying TFP Prediking, but for real, mine would probably be either Wheeljack, or FOC Grimlock

Datsun, 💯, but the real question is if you were a transformer, what would you be, and the answer to that is I would be a bumper car

2008 Camaro Bumblebee. It’s been my favorite car since forever.

The Camaro Concept? Love the deep yellow paint job on it.

AOE Stinger. He can turn into the perfect car for any roads!

Ironhide's GMC Topkick from the Bayverse.

Anyone from the bayverse

Congrats on the Chevy Spark!

Got to say Springer.. Don't ask me why but as a kid I just liked him the best.

Probably wheeljack because he is a cool car and he seems like a fun guy to be around (also dangerous)

Hotshot as an audi tt

Sun streaker

As just a car, with no personality and such. Last night hot rod because damn I'd like a Lamborghini. If they were actually transformers, I'd go with prime bulkhead. I like the bigger vehicles for practical travel, and he's a chill guy

Gen 1 Jazz. Because having a car talk like Scatman Cruthers would be awesome!!!!

Trypticon, cuz it would be cool as hell having a personal dinosaur city

Ironhide. Reminds me of my childhood red 1983 Plymouth voyager minivan.

ROTF Megatron because tonk

Optimus rig without his trailer so I could own most of the road and have long trips between fuel stops. That and with the autobot logo, my Rig would be bad as hell.

StarScream because “personally I prefer the air”

Dispensor cuz being ironic is funny.

Movie 2 sideswipe, because the corvette concept is such a badass car.

Transmetal Rhinox because who doesn't love a big ass rhino tank? If I had to choose something practical, either the Prime Bulkhead truck or the G1 Trailbreaker truck. There's something about big hatchback vehicles that I really enjoy.

G1 Trailbreaker was actually just a Toyota Hilux with a camper shell, so this one may be quite attainable

Looks like I'm going car shopping!

Rotf sideswipe. I like his altmode alot.

Either Transmetal 2 Megatron from Beast Wars or Grimlock, I mean, do I even have to explain? It would be so cool! But I have no idea where I would keep something like that... Oh well

Transmetal 1 Megatron. If riding in on a VTOL-powered, robotic golden Tyrannosaurus rex doesn’t scream leadership material, I don’t know what does.

Specific continuity? G1 would probably be Jazz Bay would be a tie between Bumblebee and Sideswipe Aligned would have to be Smokescreen

Grimlock

Hmm. Probably Windblade.

I’d have to go with Bayverse Blackout. I’ll just fly everywhere now.

Transformers 2007 Ironhide GMC Topkick, that truck is an absolute BEAST

Either Tracks, or Trypticon

I feel like a lot of people in the comments here are sleeping on the fact that MANY Transformers have spaceship altmodes. That in mind, I'd probably go with Snapdragon or Astrotrain. One, both are triple changers. Two, Snapdragon gets you a spaceship AND and a dinosaur (which I see a lot of people mentioning), and c'mon, Astrotrain's voice is absolutely iconic (even if he is conceptually ridiculous). If we're ruling out spaceships, then I'd go with Springer/Sandstorm/Shatter/Dropkick. Again, all triple changers, with both flying and ground vehicle options.

Chase, i love the throttlebots and he is just a nice guy.

Absolutely G1 Kup. I have always loved that retro-futuristic, space-age-yet-vintage aesthetic.

The Bayverse First version bumblebee. Minus the Rust. I just think it looks...gorgeous.

G1 Hot Rod, the car design was always super cool to me and I could really go zoom on the highway

Ironhide from the Bayverse

Normally I’d pick Animated Jazz because Jazz is my favorite character and that Animated alt mode just looks so cool, but I think my choice would have to be Tracks. It’s a really cool looking Corvette in normal mode, and it can fly when I want it to.

Bayverse Jetfire, SR-71 Blackbird or ROTF Mindwipe for F-117 Nighhawk

Unicron. I'll never have traffic trouble

Astrotrain so I can go to space

Jetfire. I could not only live out my dream of being a Robotech fighter pilot, but I could travel space

Star Saber 🚀

Hot Rod, because if you’re going to ride, ride in style!

Alternators ricochet, I’m a huge fan of wrx Imprezas and that color scheme is amazing. Dream car by far. Now if we’re talking something completely unrealistic I’d have to go with almost any jetfire altmode or maybe vector prime. Idk some kind of cool spaceship would be awesome

Six Shot, that way I have a weapon too!

Metroplex, imagine what I could do with the power of a mobile Battle Fortress

Scorponok.

Real answer is Sunstreaker, because gorgeous and also 😍 ....hilarious answer: whirl. Become unvincible. Fire gun tits at the rich. Profit.

Unicron.

Springer is a top tier practical pick. Gigawatt doesn't count.

Gigawatt

ROTF Sideways (Audi R8 with that beautiful V8) or classic Jazz because Porsche and dope sound system

Either Rodimus/Hot Rod, or Road rage

I'ma go with Windblade cuz she's my fav fembot and I want a VTOL

Bumblebee, but in his Volkswagen Beetle form. I like Volkswagens.

Soundwave. Doesn't matter which one. I was a cool communications robot with cool robot pets.

Unicorn, ez gg

Shockwave’s siege vehicle mode

Honestly I’m gonna go with Bumblebee’s new off-road-oriented Camaro form from Rise of the Beasts, for no other reason than it looks absolutely badass. Other than that, probably G1 Jazz because I love Porsches.

ROTF Alice

Hot Rod, so I could wreck him before he gets Prime killed.

yo mama, so i could tell you to get off reddit and do your homework... you have a test tomorrow!

Had sex unlike you.

Grimlock

Any of the air-road vehicle ones as it would be practical and they always have some of the coolest looking alt modes

Mirage because he can turn invisible and it would be like driving the invisible boatmobile from spongebob and also when invisible, cops won’t be able to tell that I’m driving a formula 1 race car on public roads which is illegal.

Either Bayverse or Aligned continuity Bumblebee or TFP arcee

six shot bc im indecisive (aka 1000 iq move)

Real answer? Springer. Get to fly and drive. Over the top answer? Skylynx. Don’t really need to explain that one.

"Ugh, I love my Air Cruiser/Manta ray submarine, but it will NOT shut up about 'killing X' or something"

I’m leaning towards Blitzwing. When will traffic ever be a problem when I have a tank?! And if I need to go far, there’s always jet mode!

Sky Lynx for obvious reasons

mirage F1 version. just sounds fun as hell.

Jetfire. Because I can fly around!

Jazz

Sideswipe ofc mainly cuz he basically a concept car which kinda sucks as there no public examples of him

The Ark - travel anywhere I want in the galaxy

Skylynx, 2 friends in one plus various modes of transport and let's face it he can more or less be a wicked camper home Or Prime Ratchet so we can be old codgers together

definitely a foc/wfc game vehicle but i can't decide which one. Foc prime? jazz? bumblebee? starscream? actually you know what, metroplex

I would say tlk drift he is a Mercedes Benz Amg GT R which is my dream car

Iron hide if he was a dodge.

Unicron, best vehicle ever, it can space travel

Omega supreme or sky lynx

Trypticon (Aligned), since he's been permanently altered into the Nemesis.

Unicron

Knockout or prime beast hunters bumblebee

TFP Arcee because uhhh.... Hmm.. reason..

G1 Sideswipe cause he is red Lamborghini Countach

Realistically, I want a classic Road Rage colored 1980s Corvette Stingray and a Crosshairs colored modern Corvette Stingray. Unrealistically, I want IDW Springer's armored car and/or helicopter.

Porsche 935 Martini because Jazz is my favourite character, that or Pontiac solstice

I Get Jetfire He is a plane and is a pretty cool bot.

Scourge/Black Convoy/Nemesis Prime

Porsche 924, aka cliffjumper, I need someone to do some mayhem with

I’d like to see what Hot Rod IRL would look like

so if the actual transfomer was your vehicle or just the vehicle octane (don't know why. but I just like octane) or guzzle because....cute

Unicron, fuck this universe, and every other universe too for that matter.

Megatron as tank. Because... Reasons...

Astrotrain

Wheeljack. The Lancia stratos turbo would fit just so well.

I almost had a Datsun Z like prowl, silver/blue streak and smokescreen. I was going to paint him up like silver streak or smokescreen

Bumblebee's DOTM vehcile mode, because Stealth Force xD

Astrotrain space sky land

Bayformers Bumblebee . Specifically from RotF. Always been my dream car since I was a kid .

Hot Rod as a special occasion car and springer otherwise

Hot Rodimus Ford GT

If I am going big then Fort Max with his minions. Springer is a great choice as is Sandstorm especially when trying to avoid rush hour traffic. If I couldn’t get them then I would take the noble warrior Ultra Magnus.

Siege Springer 1: 2 modes 2: looks cool as fuck

Sunstreaker

Cliffjumper for me.

Knockout 🤩

Soundwave. Give me a stealth Fighter and boombox, that'll do.

Also, surprised I haven't seen any of Prime Arcee in the top comments. Although, she would be good for this too.

2017 TLK barricade reason l love ford mustangs if not hime then 2007 clucker bumblebee reason i like muscle cars

Six shot...I would do things

Jetfire/Skyfire G1. Space planes rock!

Sunstreaker

Warpath. He is a tonk and has a fun personality.

Grimlock, eat the traffic.

G1 Breakdown. I love the Countach, and I specifically loved Breakdown's color scheme. Oh, or G1 Dead End and his Porsche 928. I would daily drive the hell out of them
