There are a number of different options.
One is to search the internet for official artwork or screencaps of your character or a Transformer that looks like your character. Tfwiki.net and Seibertron.com are pretty good resources. Then you crop the picture to the appropriate size, upload it to an image sharing site, like photobucket.com, and modify your profile to include the url of the picture.
When searching the internet, make sure that you are not grabbing fan-art without the artists permission. That's frowned at pretty heavily around here. Certainly do not modify fan-art. However, if you do find fan-art that works, you may ask the permission of the artist. From there, it works similarly to the procedure I mentioned above for official sources. As for how you contact the artist, that really depends on where you find the art work (hint: if you find something on deviantArt, it is not official art work, it is fan art, and you need to ask for permission. Luckily, deviantArt provides quick and easy messages to contact any particular artist).
A third option are to use one of the various doll makers or avatar makers floating around out there, but I don't think if any of the ones specific to Transformers are still active (someone can correct me if I'm wrong). This tends to result in 'What my character would look like as a human,' or 'What my character would look like as a My Little Pony' type avatars.
Finally, you could always attempt to draw it yourself or commission a picture.
Do not beg on the board for other people to draw a profile picture for you. That's pretty much a sure fire way to alienate the player base.

I already said I didn't know about any active Transformer doll/icon/sprite/avatar/etc makers, and certainly not any specific to Animated (I assume that's what you're talking about). It's possible that some are out there that I don't know about, but I feel that when we get to the point that I'd have to Google to find something, you can probably do it yourself. Possible search phrases include "transformers animated avatar generator", "transformers animated dollmaker", "transformers generated sprite maker", and so on.
