Optimus Prime ("Freedom is the right of all sentient beings")
Optimus Prime is the leader of the Autobots and leads them in an unceasing battle against the evil Decepticons. His courage and wisdom know no bounds, and he is respected throughout the universe. His weapons include an energy rifle and a blade that extends from his right forearm. He also suffers from bad breath and penile dysfunction (lack of lead in the pencil) for which he has has been prescribed fully-leaded petrol. His long suffering wife (who can blame her) has resorted to having highly passionate and rigorous sex with another machine : the lift, which she claims and I quote 'can go up at my command'
Psychological profiling
One of Prime's most notable characteristics is his commitment to leadership by example, and the avoidance of any hypocrisy in his command, but beyond this he is a straightforward, battlefield General. Prime has also been secretly plagued by self-doubt and a conflicted sense of pacifism that often made him an extremely reluctant warrior, and it was occasionally implied that the conflict with the Decepticons lasted as long as it did primarily due to his unwillingness to take a more aggressive stance. Psychologists claim that he has a tendency to cry when alone at night and that he still sleeps with his teddy bear.
Megatron ("Peace through tyranny")
He is very powerful and utterly ruthless. He is leader of the Decepticons. His primary weapon is an arm-mounted fusion cannon, capable of leveling a city block in one blast. He can also sub-dimensionally link the weapon to a black hole, generating even more powerful anti-matter blasts. However, this ability is almost never used, as it leaves him extremely weak and vulnerable and therefore unable to perform in the bedroom department. Not surprisingly his wife has been seeing another robot : the super-suction 2000 vacuam cleaner (with additional pipes to reach those places other robots cannot reach)
Psychological profiling
There have been several interpretations of his character; some see Megatron as a strategic leader who calls the shots from afar, whilst others see him as a tactical battlefield commander who leads by brutal example. Unlike many other villains in popular fiction, Megatron is not generally depicted as overly chaotic or insane. He is highly aggressive and a megalomaniac but there is usually a consistent rationale behind his actions, albeit that Megatron is often the only one who perceives this. Psychologists have suggested that he had an abusive father who never played with him and that he has a secret fetish for My Little Pony dolls.

History of rivalry
There have been occasions where Megatron displays a personal sense of fair play and even honor, a complexity that is most evident in his relationship with Optimus Prime. There is an unspoken mutual respect between the two leaders, born of each knowing the other better than anyone else. Megatron at times seems to derive enjoyment from the perpetual conflict that exists between them — the pleasure of ending the life of Optimus Prime will be Megatron's and Megatron's alone. In instances such as these, the two have come to face the fact that were it not for their diametrically opposed ideologies and views, in another life the two could be buddies for life and share a pint down the pub for a good ole chinwag.
My Favourite...
If I was a Transformer robot (oh I can only dream) I'd be Megatron. Why? Well apart from the 'My Little Pony' business I feel that he has much better weaponry at his disposal. But also I see Megatron as much more complex and multi-layered. The other reason, and probably the most important, is that as Megatron I'd definitely get more chicks. I mean If I was a chick I'd much rather go out with Megatron then Prime. Chicks dig dangerous guys who have issues, not goody goody two-shoes, time to go to bed by 9 o'clock mummies boys.
