Who are your favourite characters in this era, and why?
Shortround. A Decepticon Transformer who collects transforming robot toys!
Which characters were disappointing or over-used?
Thunderblast. She was made into bad comic relief.
Who would you have liked to have seen more of in this Series for being under-used?
Shortround! Sucks how one of the most interesting TF characters ever written has never had a continuity appearance! It'd be great to see a moment of Shortround going into his quarters at Decepticon HQ and we see shelves and shelves full of Gobots! Seriously! Imagine him sitting at a control panel and there's Cy-Kill standing above the keyboard or maybe he's piloting a vehicle with Leader-1 on the console; or he transforms into hovercraft mode and there's a bunch of Gobots on his dashboard (or whatever the equivalent it would be on a boat). It'd be also great to have him report late to Megatron and when demanding to explain his tardiness Shortround replies, "Sorry my lord... my engines got clogged up by a school of eels." (Monty Python'd!) In my head, Shortround sounds like Eric Idle.
