I think a Transformer's personality may influence the alt modes they choose for themselves, and for those that don't get to pick (and even those that do) I think the alt mode would influcence their personalities. If you can fly at Mach 4 or drive at 300 KMH, eventually those sorts of abilities would impact the way you react to others and the way you view the world.
Exactly! The body controls the capabilities and therefore perceptions, and the persona must adapt to what it perceives. And yet we see very little evidence of this through TF storytelling (which is, in fairness, mostly for kids, and 'nature of consciousness' stuff would be a bit heavy).
