I was thinking of this while I am in transition, and I have a eccentric sense of humor, and I haven't heard of tansgender people doing it, correct me if I am wrong. But even if I pass really good I am still proud of who I am without it defining me... What you think lol.
I went one step further ::)

To answer your question Christy, I don't have a car anyway...

Turns into a clothes shopping trolly ;D
I say "maybe" 'cause honestly I wouldn't put an Autobot sticker on my car just for the inside joke. I'd do it because giant robots are awesome.

LOL! It would be more awesome if it knew what clothes you liked drove to the store and bought them for you,,,lmao. But I asked because I seen the transformers logo on a lot of transition videos, and it got me thinking it be pretty awesome if they went and did things we didn't wan to do like go to the store, come out to the family for us, what could anybody do to you really if your car did that, lol, I just really was hoping to get a laugh out of people, I know its dumb question but its fun... Like dumb movies, space balls, naked gun, blazing sadles. dumb but a barrel of fun...
I had to vote no, but everybody else can. I just don't like stickers on my cars.
I don't put any stickers on my cars. Don't want to attract the attention of law enforcement or assorted whackos
One of my vehicles had "my other car is a broom" on it several years ago. On a trip to Washington DC we stopped at a rest stop on the New Jersey Turnpike. Some childish lunatic loosened all the lug nuts on the passenger side. Cost us 4 hours getting the car fixed and a lot of money. At those speeds it could have cost us our lives! I don't put anything on my cars that could make me a target.
OTOH, one of my new neighbors is more blatant. I haven't met them yet, unfortunately. They have a beat up old pickup, the kind you expect a real redneck to own. In the middle of the tailgate is a bumper sticker, "I [heart (with the combined male/female trans logo in it)] crossdressing". I smile every time I see it. Haven't seen anyone near it, yet.
I like the idea of it as an inside joke, but I wouldn't put it on my car because I couldn't handle the shame of looking like I'm a fan of the Transformers movies. :laugh: ;)
Many years ago I wouldn't have done anything like that....Philosophically (liberal ideologue), I looked down upon displays of "bumper sticker mentality" and "t-shirt morality." Over the years though, I've grown more conservative & more tolerant.
Very good point about the security thing. Anything one puts on one's car can potentially attract negative attention and make a particular vehicle particularly identifiable. BUT, for me, hitting a wild hog a few years back made my particular car readily identifiable.
Sooo...sure why not. Very funny idea. :) [I just might do it, but I'd have to scrape off some of my political bumper stickers in order to find a place for it.]
I have a butterfly sticker on the window of my car. Cliched, I know, but I am transformining so why not.
I have a Decepticon keychain. The villains were always more interesting to me.
I won't put anything on my car period. Its a new car (or it was a year ago). I want to take care of it and get it to keep as much value as possible. You put anything on it and it makes it harder to sell.

Windshield only for me. Easy to get off. I never put anything on the paint.
Hehe, I took it to a new level with mine...
I'm switching the whole engine to something that's more fitting to the car. Then, after that, I'm repainting the whole thing, then adding decals to the boot lid. One will be small, "Vulynn at heart, Vulynn from the start."
The other will be on the top of my windscreen, "Skittles" (my cars name)
In a way my car (Chevy Volt) is gender fluid because its fully EV at one point and then a hybrid at another point. It goes about 40 miles (depending on many factors) fully electric even at speed and then switches to gas with about 40 MPG. I am at about 190MPG lifetime average for my car and about 130MPG for my current tank.

I own a semi truck and I drive it for a living, I average 3000 miles a week at a mpg of diesel at about 7mpg, I spend 1500 to 2000 in fuel a week... I wish mine would "transform" into a fuel efficient car and still hual 50000 pounds lol...

We have a local trucking company around here called Prime and all of their semis are blue. I can't help but wonder if they did that on purpose.

I know prime very well,, they have a reputation for being one of the worse companies for safety, they hire a lot of inexperienced drivers.. But I wondered that also...
No. I hate driving and totally suck at it and I'm likely to crash whatever car I have and/or get killed in the process so there is no point.

One of my best friends when I was on active duty was like that, he could not drive, we would not let him around equipment let alone a regular vehicle...
The only thing he could drive was a crotch rocket, He could ride the crap out of a motorcycle, out him in car and its gonna atleast have dents on it from attempts to
even back out of a driveway..
I would put a transformer sticker on my car regardless, to be honest. Decepticon. Starscream lovers gotta represent!
My old car had a Powerpuff Girls sticker , never cared much for the Transformers.
I hate transformers.

Real Transformers or the Michael Bay abominations?
My boyfriend has been modifying his car lately and was looking into debadging it or altering the badges on it in some way for a while. In the end we ended up keeping all of the badges that were already on it and adding "TS" to it as a bit of an inside joke. He's a car nerd and technically the car *is* a TS in car terminology, but we both get a little kick out of the double meaning. Because of the way we did it you'd have to be in the know about the make and model of the car and how it's supposed to be badged to even know that it's been modified.
This plays for me on a couple levels since I am a power engineer. I play with transformers of all shapes, sizes, varieties, and frequencies all day long ::)
As a hypothetical inside joke, sure. However I know nothing about any part of the franchise, so that would be a bit awkward, and I hate bumper stickers anyway.

Lol idk. The movies mostly I guess, but probably all of them. I was forced to sit through that first movie and I will never forgive the universe for putting me through that.
Autobot or Decepticon? ;D
I probably wouldn't, myself, if only because I tend not to put stickers on my car. That, and I'm not super familiar with all things Transformers; and to me, displaying such a sticker would invite conversation about it, something I'm not terribly capable of. I played with some of the toys back in the day, but I didn't watch much of the cartoon, so I'm not terribly familiar with the lore. I was much more into Ninja Turtles.

Cool. That was a good cartoon. What did the sticker look it like?
Go for something cooler, and use a graphic of Bender from Futurama.

It was the three girls standing together with their arms crossed looking heroic. This was pre-transition, guys at work tried to tease me about it told them they were too insecure with their manhood to have one :P
On my keyring.

Aw hell yeah! I was always a fan of the Powepuff Girls. And I don't think it had anything to do with the cartoon being girly or anything. The show is goofy, it's well-done, and it's just so damn psychedelic! Being a fan of "things that make you see things," it always hit home.
True story: some friends and I went to the movies. They all wanted to see some movie about giant spiders. No way in hell was I going to see THAT! So I went by myself to see the Powerpuff Girls movie. Thank Jeebus there were a few college kids my age going to see it. I sat next to them, and it totally saved me from looking like a creep!

If it was "Eight Legged Freaks" and you can tolerate giant spiders at all then you missed out. It was as if 1940's Warner Animation had made a 1950's science fiction movie. The spiders had cute little emotive voices (no words) and had more in common with Wile E. Coyote than anything else.

Uhhhh, that GIF is funny, and gross, and cute, all at the same time.
Yes, it was Eight Legged Freaks. I was so not down to see that movie.
