I usually do this in May, but I forgot. Ah, well, nothing wrong with being late.
[ GENERAL STUFF ]
FULL NAME (optional): Sarah

BIRTHPLACE: Portsmouth, UK
YOUR EYE COLOR: Blue-grey

FAVORITE MOVIE (You lose originality points if you say TF:TM...): Beauty and the Beast (Disney version)
FAVORITE BOOK: The Last Unicorn by Peter S Beagle and the Time Traveller's Wife by Audrey Niffenegger
FAVORITE TV SHOW: The Daily Show is what we're currently watching.

WHAT KIND OF CAR WOULD YOU LIKE TO DRIVE?: A small one!
YOU WIN A FREE VACATION TO ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD. WHERE WOULD YOU GO?: A free trip to the UK to see Friends and Family is always welcome. Otherwise, why not the Greek Islands?

YOUR GREATEST FEAR: Losing my family

[ TRANSFORMERS STUFF ]
FAVORITE TRANSFORMER CHARACTER(S): G1: Arcee, Kup, Rodimus Prime and Springer. It's the quartet of much love. Actually, a quintet with Ultra Magnus, but he tends to irk me so doesn't get rated as a favourite.
YOUR MOST HATED TF CHARACTER (Not including any human characters): Optimus Prime (G1). Setting up a character as an ultimate role model is something I find disturbing. It encourages a very black and white view of the world. Any heroes and villains show is going to suffer that flaw really, but Optimus Prime is a bit of an extreme in the Can Do No Wrong stakes.
WHAT TF IS CLOSEST TO YOU IN PERSONALITY?: Kup
THE FACTION THAT YOU MOST FAVOR, ANY SERIES: Invariably, Autobots (or Maximals)
WHICH GENRE DO YOU LIKE MOST - TOYS, CARTOONS, OR COMICS?: Cartoon! Don't collect the toys, and I don't mesh well with the comic format.
FAVORITE TOY LINE: My Little Pony?
FAVORITE TOY(S), ANY LINE: I am particularly fond of G1 Tailgate, one of the few transformers I own, and one of even fewer that I can transform (I suck as a Transfan).
IF MONEY/AVAILABILITY WAS NOT AN ISSUE, WHAT TOY DO YOU NOT HAVE BUT WOULD REALLY LIKE TO GET?: A G1 transformable Arcee. I'd also like a Kup just so I can have my quartet in toy form.
FAVORITE CARTOON SERIES: G1 season 3--I'm a space opera kind of girl. The on Earth antics tend to bore me.
FAVORITE EPISODE(S), ANY SERIES: Dweller in the Depths. Zombies!
FAVORITE COMIC SERIES: Order of the Stick! Oh, wait... n/a
FAVORITE COMIC ISSUE(S), ANY SERIES: I seem to recall enjoying the Springer vs the Zombies issues of the old G1 comic.
THE JAPANESE CARTOONS - GOOD OR BAD?: Anime has never really been my thing, so the more anime a cartoon is, the less I'm likely to like it. The Japanese continuations of G1, from what I know of the hatchet jobs they did to the characters I rate as absolutely atrocious.
THE CLASSIC TF MOVIE - LOVE IT OR HATE IT?: Love!
LOOKING FORWARD TO THE NEW TRANSFORMERS ANIMATED CARTOON SERIES - YES OR NO? (no flames, please) : Looked forward to it and was both pleasantly surprised and bitterly disappointed. But I'm glad we had it while it lasted.
As a more current addendum, I'm looking forward to Revenge of the Fallen, but my husband and I need to agree on when we will see it and find a babysitter, so I'm going to have to be patient with that one.
TRANSFORMERS FOREVER?: Why not?
