They can be nice but they can also kick skidplate. I feel someone like Bumblebee, Air raid or Sideswipe are a little too inexperienced to lead. Warpath is a little to hard headed and someone like Ironhide or Scattorshot, are bots made to be soldiers. Although it would be intersting, I just can't see Arcee be leader. Ratchet would never take the job because he know his job is being a medic. Silverbolt, although a good leader, wouldn't accept it either. He's already afraid of heights and commanding the Aerialbots, so he's probably all set. Jetfire is more a scientist then a leader. Which brings me to my choice...Jazz. He's already been leader before, and in many continuities, he's Optimus' second-in-command. It would be only be natural he would be chosen. He's brave yet humble. He's kind but can fight. Almost all the Autobots already like him. He can keep a cool head in any situation, plus he's good with change and improvisation. He's got the brains to do it too, and wants to protect all life. And being apart of the Special Ops, he's got the skill to take on almost anyone. He's cool, he's tough. He's Jazz. I believe he's the best choice for becoming the next Autobot leader.

The death of Zeta Prime has taken its toll among the Autobots. Many fear that without his leadership this war will be the end of us all. I too am among those who feel this way, but since I am Prime, I can not afford the price of these thoughts. His death is also a constant reminder that I too maybe destroyed; and if this comes to pass, who would I choose to replace me? There are many brave Autobots under my commander who could perhaps fill the role, one day, but are now still too raw. Silverbolt has the determination, but lacks the confidence. AirRaid is still too young. Ironhide and Warpath are better suited for collateral damage, then command decisions. Bumblebee has the courage and strength, but I fear the darkness of these acts could cause him too loose that makes him strong. Ratchet's kindness and triage techniques makes him valuable for healing the wounded, but this could cloud his judgment in an astrosecond decision. Arcee, Sideswipe and Scattorshot are brave warriors, but all lack the training and dedication that is needed for a Prime. This leaves Jazz and Jetfire. Both would make fine Primes, they have all the strength and abilities to be able to defeat Megatron, as well as the strength of character to hold the Autobots together during this darkest hour. Alas there can only be ONE Prime. As dear a friend that Jazz is, he has the tendency to be reckless, and Jetfire's dealings with Starscream and this 'Dark Energon' could prove valuable to our cause.
Let it be know too all, If I were to fall in battle, that Jetfire be my recommendation for the next Prime, followed secondly only by Jazz.

Silverbolt is generally disliked? I've never seen any evidence of this in any incarnation.
Arcee is not the first female TF? Who is?

Besides Bumble Prime just doesn’t sound good. Ironhide is a warrior and could make a good leader, although most likely a reluctant one. The same could be said for Jazz, Silverbolt and myself. None of us feel we could replace Optimus. But Optimus was also reluctant while Zeta on the other hand was always ambitious. Even changing his name from Sentinel Prime to Zeta Prime indicating that he would be the last Prime. His complacency in overseeing the cast system was his undoing and this has eventually leaded to the Transformers Exodus of Cybertron. Maybe being reluctant to lead is an attribute of a great Prime. Above all, in these trying times we need a Prime that understands the problem. “Dark Energon” and its effects on Cybertron. If we are going to rebuild Cybertron it will take not just courage, power, or leadership. It will take science. Among the mysteries of science lies the key to victory and Cybertron’s revival. Hmmmm Jet Prime, Prime Fire, Fire Maximus Prime. It matters not what they call me. On the inside I’m still JetFire and as the former guardian of Cybertronion space I’m sure I can lead my Autobots to another planet aboard the Ark, better than any energon seeker could, where we can prepare for Cybertron’s restoration and return the spark housed in this matrix to Cybertron’s core. Above all it’s what Optimus would want. This blue planet in this sector of the Milkyway Galaxy looks promising.
