Brainstorm is not a modest person. He's a genius, he knows it, and he's going to make damn sure you know it too. He believes that all of society's problems can be resolved so long as ideas can be developed free of outside constraints. This is understandable, as Brainstorm is a never-ending font of ideas, ranging from useful biotechnology, to outlandish anti-personnel weaponry, to devices that harness the bizarre and unthinkable. It's perhaps telling that his fellow Autobots have adopted "the Brainstorm" as a unit of apocalyptic potential. Unlike his idol-cum-professional rival Perceptor, Brainstorm doesn't like to let little things like "basic safety" and "proper experimental procedure" get in the way of his projects, and will happily hand out new and untested inventions to less-than-responsible comrades for field-testing.
