security six, here's my thing, I've put on some weight over the years, what with my insane metabolism getting buggered by a medication malfunction. (other people killed themselves while on it, so I guess I got lucky, for me it just made it much easier to get fat if I don't exercise religiously.)
So anyways, I get shot down a lot. I don't know why, I mean I was damn hawt stuff when I was thinner and more muscular, but that's just the trick. I didn't handle no's nearly as well as I do now, figure that out. As for the yes part, just remember the most important part. Let her DRAG your secrets out of you. Think Witwicky and Foxxy. Don't gush over her, let her earn you. If you're a carpet and she has options, she'll go for the options, I've dated few in my younger years (when I looked like hawt stuff and I sold myself short. I noted that all the women I gushed on quickly, lost interest quickly. So frankly, even if you built an orbital wrench dropping satellite with back yard reload delivery systems, you still shouldn't tell her. Let her discover it later. The more of a mystery you are, the longer you last, I don't mean lie to her, but let her find out about you slowly, and learn about her as much as you can, without being creepy (second point on satellites, if you have your kill sat on standby as a spy sat watching her, you REALLY shouldn't tell her, its good intel, but its also shitstorm creepy +1.) Also, never, EVER tell her you ran a back ground check on her, unless at some point you dated a real axe murderer and wanted to make sure you didn't date another. Even so, that's stuff she probably either shouldn't find out about, or should find out about after you start living together IF you're the type that goes for that. Me, I like separate living quarters, but the lab/workshop is a party attendance thing, with swipe cards and automated turrets to keep unwanted snoops out the permanent way.
Other than that, like I said, I wants me a geek girl, think girlgeniusonline.com (pretty cool webcomic) style. I could go for that chick.
I'm actually not hurt by a chick that comes up with good ideas, even if hers improve upon mine. (Haven't met any, but I believe I'd fall deeply and madly in love if she was pretty to boot, but not drop dead gorgeous though, those chicks are always nuts the wrong way and I have yet to meet a "gorgeous" one that was techy smart, hence the approval of using Fox as the mech chick, hawt mech chicks are rare IRL, and the only one I ever knew had major daddy issues was a devout liar and her uterus didn't work so its not like we could've made crazy clones of ourselves together. Well not the old fashioned way anyways.)
+1 to your Optimus Prime remarks. Also +1 to the possibility of Megatron now coming back as Galvatron. And since they killed off Starscream now we'll get to see him come back as a ghost like in the cartoons?
Funny, I hope I can go through my old toys and find my old optimus prime. I actually had one, figure that out.

I did have on question (besides the serious freaky scary nature of the decepticon hottie in Transformers 2 with the chain whip tongue and tail.) Why does the allspark ALWAYS create decepticons in the movies? Everything it brings to life is psychotic and decepticon by far (all red eyes too, for the color aware.)
