Getting back on topic...

Here's one thing that I think all continuities have dropped the ball on: THUNDERCRACKER

By Primus Thundercracker is one of the potentially most interesting Decepticon characters who, time and time again is constantly under-used by writers! Most other Decepticons are pretty much loyal to the Decepticon cause (even if they're not necessarily loyal to their leader, they are still loyal to the basic cause). Thundercracker on the other hand is unsure and not fully convinced of the merits of the Decepticon cause. On the other hand he's not one who would side with the Autobots either. But having this element of a Decepticon who doubts his cause is really interesting and has the potential to make Thundercracker a pretty neat character if writers should ever choose to exploit that facet of his personality... but they never do!! BOOO!!!







Groove and Blades are under-used characters too. For some bizarre reason, cartoon writers gave Groove's personality to First Aid. The G1 manga did exploit Blades' personality though - which is one of my favourite things about the G1 manga... but otherwise Blades has a lot of untapped potential in him.

Blades is a lot like R2-D2 in Darths and Droid!
