if you could improve your Tech Specs

Tech Specs give each Transformer a rating on a scale of 1 to 10 (10 being the best, 1 being the worst) in each of eight categories:
Strength
Intelligence
Speed
Endurance
Rank
Courage
Firepower
Skill

Imagine you were a Transformer whose Tech Specs were all 4s. If you could increase one of your stats to 10, OR increase two of your stats to 7, which stat or stats would you choose and why?

I need more firepower. All i have is a baseball bat and a butter knife

I think I would go for Rank and Endurance. Rank might keep my frail, mediocre ass out of the front lines, and Endurance would help me not die when I got in a fight armed with only my baseball bat and butter knife.

[builds an electron rifle out of a baseball bat and butterknife] i'm surprised that no one chose to increase their intelligence! That's my first choice. (i didn't answer when i posted the question because i didn't want to influence anyone else's responses. i'm pleased to see different folks' different ways of thinking!)

i think i'd increase my intelligence and courage. With enough intelligence, you can build something with strength, speed, endurance, and/or firepower; or convince somebody with superior strength, speed, endurance, and/or firepower to act on your behalf; or find an alternative solution (diplomacy? what's that?) that does not require strength, speed, endurance, or firepower.

Having the intelligence to do any of that, however, means nothing if you don't have the courage to do it.

By the same token, i'm strongly tempted to opt instead for intelligence and speed, or intelligence and skill. Knowing what to do doesn't help if you aren't fast enough to do it, or skilled enough (such as, knowing which wire to cut in order to defuse a bomb, but not having the dexterity to actually cut it). Still, i think courage is the necessary first step.

Whatever, I still outrank you. I can make you scrubs do all the stuff that I'm not smart, strong, or skilled enough to do myself. Isn't that what being a boss is all about?

I'd have to boost my Intelligence and Skill to 7's, lay low and stay out of battle....
