Good day Community,

I require help in regards to relating to Transformers, for the past one year I have collected a few Takara masterpieces due to peer influence and honestly it was something I liked as a kid, however I have a tenancy to make up stories or plots when I play with my figures (Im only 35 :P )

My problem with transformers is that I am having hard time relating to the characters, because im not a robot myself, I can relate to Spike witwicky being the human element in the hero's tale, however after speaking to many TF fans, they told me that human element is not essential, this creates a problem for me because I honestly dont know how to relate with the TF anymore.

You see when you look at major heroes such as (Superman, Batman) they usually have a human element, which is the dual identity, the element that creates suspense and add prespectives to the hero instead of being hero the whole time. The problem with TFs is they are robots doing nothing in their tale except being robots, if you look at Gundam for example, it has a human pilot, which gives a human element.

TF dont have that, I have tried focusing my stories on having a better role for Spike Witwicky, being as he is the connection between the human civilization and the bots. But problem is with TF media, comics especially, it focuses alot on the bots and neglects all humman element, Michael Bay films have alot of human element into it, however we all know how that seems to be criticized a lot.

I was hoping someone can add perspective into this matter.


Note: I tried viewing heroes such as Godzilla as a comparison to TF, it seems a bit close in terms of alien creature fighting another while humans sit and watch, but Godzilla is explained as a phenomena of nature that we simply accept, not to mention the perspective comes from the human who know Godzilla (same as the Witwicky example) rather than from the eyes of the huge big lizard - since its unrelatable for us humans.


Thank you .
