    When I said a long time ago i meant the G1 era They'd frequently mix up stats with other characters, or apply nonsensical stats such as targetmaster variants having lower firepower or pure melee bots having firepower at all.

    That said, you're right, the quality of the bios these days are lacking a certain charm, and the stats are often just as nonsensical

RtS Perceptor's Tech Specs doesn't mention anything about his unquenchable thirst for knowledge or being absent minded and Generations Thundercracker's tech specs doesn't mention his lack of dedication of the Decepticon cause... one great thing about G1's tech specs was that characters had little quirks that made them unique and memorable. e.g. Cosmos is incredibly lonesome, Breakdown is paranoid, Soundwave is hated by his fellow Decepticons, Kup is highly experienced and knowledgeable but nobody listens to his wisdom, Frenzy is a sadist and Bluestreak uses his jovial façade to hide his inner demons and so on and so on.

    I collect Classicsverse cos I love the toys, but as far as the characterisations are concerned, I'll refer to G1 over their tech specs.
    Well as you well know the old tech spechs were written by an established comic writter, the new ones are written by Fred in marketing, at least that's my guess.
