Who is your personal role model?
Heh. This one is actually kind of a tough one, because I’ve got more than one. I guess everybody does, because there’s always people that you look up to for one thing or another, and no one person can do all those things, right? So anyway, here’s an attempt at listing them; I say attempt because I bet as soon as I write this up, I’m going to remember somebody else. I hate it when that happens. It’s like what happens when you’re hurrying someplace to do something, and when you get there, you’ve forgotten what you needed to do. So anyway, role models…
Prime. I guess this one’s kind of obvious, huh? I’m not the only one who looks up to Prime; at least, I don’t think I am. But anyway, he’s a role model because he’s my commander and if you can’t look up to your commander, well, you must have a really bad commander or something. I mean, how can you not look up to somebody who’s managed to keep us alive through this whole civil war, go one on one with Megatron-and come out in one piece-pretty much always seems to have some sort of idea of what to do-which is something I wish I could figure out, but it hasn’t happened yet-and still stay sane despite everything that’s happened in the past nine million years or so? Role models are supposed to be people with plenty of experience that you can learn from, right? Well, if all that isn’t worth learning from, I don’t know what is. The only hard part is, y’know, actually learning…
Prowl. Even though I’m pretty sure that he wants to scrap Sideswipe, Sunstreaker and I a lot of the time-especially me, after the whole catapult thing with the cantaloupes, and anyway…I look up to Prowl, too. He’s kind of like Prime, because he always seems to have a plan of some kind-which I guess is kind of what you’d expect, seeing how he’s a tactician and all-and that those plans have saved my aft and a bunch of other people’s afts more than a couple times. I definitely wish I could learn how he does that; I’ve been trying to, but it isn’t really working. Not yet, anyway. Prowl’s temper is something that I think he’s a role model for, too-I mean, even if I am pretty sure he wants to kill me sometimes, he usually doesn’t let it show too much. He’s pretty much always calm, and never seems to let nervousness or anything get him; seeing how I still haven’t fiigured out that yet, either, it’s something I kind of look up to him for. It must take a lot of effort to always stay that calm, even when it seems like everything is going to the Pit and nobody else has any clue of what’s going on.
Ironhide. I only wish I could be half as good of a fighter as he is, not to mention as fearless as he usually seems to be. It’s a different kind of fearlessness than what Prowl shows, though-Ironhide is fearless because he always wants to kick ‘con aft, and never seems to be afraid of the consequences. That bravery when it comes to fight is also something that I really respect. I mean, I guess it’s easy enough to fake, at least for a little while, but with Ironhide it’s sincere. And I kind of have to respect anybody who can constantly be that fearless and ready to fight, because that’s something I don’t know if I could ever do.
