The clan has always enjoyed a game of TF2. That’sTeam Fortress 2. But how does the newest TF2 game, that’s the game of the movieTransformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen, stack up? Let’s compare heroines!
Weapon of choice
 Optimus with dual guns |  Zoey with dual (black) pistols |
+1 to Zoey for unlimited ammo
-1 to Optimus for packing guns that overheat
Best fashion sense
 Optimus wears a red top |  Zoey wears a red top |
They both wear red tops, but we think Zoey gets +1 here for realistic battle damage. And Optimus, what’s with the tacky flame job? Transforming truck robots don’t need to pretend to be cool!
Best disguise
 Optimus tears it up as a truck |  Zoey has a flashlight |
+1 to Optimus here, he ain’t no Mac, he’s a Peterbuilt for dang’s sake. Zoey, turn out that light ya moron!
Best in lego
 Lego truck and robot |  Lego Zoey |
+1 Optimus, props where due: http://pages.cthome.net/pdufilie/lego_optimus_prime.html
Best costume
 Adult sized and lame |  A red jacket |
We expected a lot more here! There’s not enough to make a call, and anyway, you could wear both.
Ok, enough fashion. Even though looking good is important, even after the apocalypse.
Who’s got your back?
 Optimus is a hero |  Zoey shoots first! |
Optimus: Freedom is the right of all sentient beings.
Zoey: If it’s not one of us, kill it!
We’re not sure, but we suspect Optimus might decide he needs to protect the zombies! He’s got such a hero complex, he’s likely to protect the humans, the Autobots, humans, bunnies, zombies, humans, the All-Spark, and humans. In fact, he’s liable to sacrifice himself when you need him the most. No, if you need your back got, it’s +1 to Zoey for understanding it’s every heroine for herself in the post-apocalyptic world!
Conclusion
So is TF2 (not to be confused with TF2) worth your dosh? (What is dosh anyway?) If being able to tell your mates “yeah, I went hunting for energon, hid out as a car then transformed on some Decepticreep a*s and took him down!!” is as important to you as it is to me, then yes!
One transformer fan was mildly offended in the writing of this post.
Love it! ++ for self-parody but this just raises the question: how does Optimus cope with Boomer bile?
It doesn’t worry him at all, he can be revived with a sock full of dust!
When GA come out I feel a few more comparison coming on – Assaut vs Heavy, Recon vs Spy etc.
