Someone once asked me why people sing. I answered that they sing for many of the same reasons the birds sing. They sing for a mate, to claim their territory, or simply to give voice to the delight of being alive in the midst of a beautiful day. Perhaps more than the birds do, humans hold a grudge. They sing to complain of how grievously they have been wronged, and how to avoid it in the future. They sing to help themselves execute a job of work. They sing so the subsequent generations won’t forget what the current generation endured, or dreamed, or delighted in.

I remember reading somewhere that the original Autobots all had some sort of “power” (or at least some special thing they could do) such as Trailbreaker’s forcefield and Mirage’s invisibility. But there were also a lot that weren’t as famous, such as Hound’s holograms. Are there any other notable ones from the original 1984 Autobots?
