Despite the fact that the Transformers have been around since about 1984, the 2007 movie directed by Michael Bay has launched them into international fame. It would be far from an understatement to say that the action series has attracted what amounts to a cult following. References to the films are found all over, but one of the most popular ways to acknowledge that you are part of this eclectic group is by putting an Autobot emblem or a Decepticon emblem on your car. While the addition of the emblem may not mean your car is about to turn into a very large robot, it does give the people around you an idea of your personality. 

Time for Some Introspection

If you love the movies, you are doubtless pulling for the Autobots, since they are the heroes. While it is one thing to root for the good guys in a Hollywood film, it's another thing entirely trying to decide which side you would actually be on. If you have never really thought about which robot team you would be on, here are some questions to consider before deciding which kind of emblem to stick on your car.

You might be a Decepticon if...

• • You wish you could turn into a tank or a warship.

• • You often find yourself giving monologues.

• • You have an impulse to attack innocent bystanders.

You might be an Autobot if...

• • You wish you could turn into a sports car or semi-truck.

• • You are loyal to your friends.

• • You wait for orders before making a move.

If you would like a little more information as to whether you would be classified as an Autobot or a Decepticon, just use the Internet and search for the phrase, "Autobot or Decepticon?" The sheer volume of quizzes that pop up will amaze and confound you. After you have taken a couple that give you a consistent answer, you are probably ready to deck out your car with the appropriate emblem.

Making It Official

There are many companies that make these emblems. Some of them are window decals, others are stickers, but by far the most authentic are the Autobot or Decepticon car badges. These badges are made from chrome or black finish metal. They are car-wash safe and are guaranteed to last the lifetime of your vehicle. If you like things fancy, you can even get a blinged-out Autobot emblem or Decepticon emblem. So what are you waiting for? Find out which you are today!
