Is it because they were not good soldiers? <BR/><BR/>What I mean by that is that Bumblebee and Starscream did not tote their party's line. Starscream was the treacherous traitor always trying to take over because he knows he can do a better job. <BR/><BR/>Bumblebee was always screwing up and trying to prove himself. He tried to help when told no as opposed to staying put.<BR/><BR/>Rodimus Prime seemed to doubt himself and always lived in the shadow of Optimus Prime, who could do no wrong. He jumped at the chance to become Hot Rod again so he could go back to his immature ways.<BR/><BR/>Sky Lynx was a snob.<BR/><BR/>I guess they were different from the rest of the transformers since the rest did what was expected of good soldiers and that is what their commander says, they do. They do it without question and they do not look down upon their commander or disobey him. Other than those 4 you mentioned, I can not think of anyone else like that in the show except Spike who was the human equivalent of Bumblebee.<BR/><BR/>I would say Grimlock had some personality but it is more like a kid who is strong and thinks that since he is stronger than most he should be in charge until he gets smacked by an adult who is just as strong and is a lot smarter than the kid.<BR/><BR/>Imagine if those characters did not exist. Everything would run fine and maybe the war would go on forever because no one would step out of line or mess up. It would make for an uninteresting show if you did not have the characters with personality to hate.<BR/><BR/>I hated those characters with personality with a passion. I did like Sky Lynx though. That was a guy who could be a snob and be right or wrong but you had to put up with him because he could fly your ass into space. <BR/><BR/>I wish they would have dwelt on one of my favorite characters more and that was Ultra Magnus. I liked him because he could lead and was strong but just did not want to. He seemed like he wanted to kick it but step up when times mattered.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04162570554082863856noreply@blogger.com
