If you could create a Transformer robot,what physical & mental powers would it have?

If you had to create 1 or 2 new Transformer (live action) robot film
characters,
what would you call each one and what witty or cool abilities,
physical, or artificial intelligence superpower/s, or sentient
reasoning skills, would you give your Transformer robot, that other
Transformer robots don't have (or even if they do have any ability or
superpower mentioned, yours would have abilities or powers that are
even vastly better. For example, it wouldn't necessarily just be
able to transform into a car.

Stupidity- then they would be as human as their creators.

... and no mouth.

Is this not a bit off-topic? Do you honestly expect a serious answer here?

My son is 30, and he has never heard of a closed iron-laminate former with
coils of wire on it. He STILL thinks a transformer is a toy, a computer is a
ganes machine, and the correct name for "sunglasses" is "shadez".

Professor Searle says that computers son't have mental contents,
people do, and I agree with him. No robot could ever have mental
powers.

Obviously, you are too. This is Usenet, no matter how you're
accessing it.

I want one that transforms into a --transformer. It's powers would be
sitting, being green, and
humming to itself.

Seriously, if I could find a Transformer that transformed into a
transformer, I'd pay $15 for it!

Which would be more "toyetic" - a pad-mount or a big substation-style
power transformer?
