#character research

Hello you beautiful gooners. I want to learn more about TF characters, specifically IDW (I don't have time to read it unfortunately) but other series are welcome too! Beast wars, Armada, etc. and I have gotten a lot of asks of characters I am not familiar with or know but don't have a grasp of their personalities OR I forgot stuff about them.

So; I propose that this post will be one of my references when I write about the bots and give you the option to yap in the comments below!!! Personalities are what I'm really looking for but I'd love to hear about certain quirks and stuff they did/happened to them.

Please no spoilers though, this is only for those who doesn't want spoilers.

Again!! Go yap below!!!!!!!!

To the foreground characters: You up in front, get down. You're in the way. I can't see.

To the camera operator: No. You're focusing on the wrong character. Why do you only get the one I want in the wide shots???

For many, many, many months, I’ve been working on the edits for Running the Asset. Much of the work I’ve been doing lately involves research, confirming facts, and location scouting. It’s been a fun but time-consuming part of the job. Not only has it been necessary for the story’s verisimilitude, but it’s also helped me connect with the characters on a far deeper level. It’s a process I want to…

The true answer is nobody knows and however rich you want them to be lol. But I am a nuro-divergent sickly queen who finds research rabbit holes soothing, so I decided to look into it.

For all you writers out there and the just plain curious I have put together a brief report that examines the little we know about the Harrington's with historical data: TO THE PAGE

At the end of the day everyone is free to draw their own conclusions, but it is fascinating to think about. Doing this really opened my eyes to the ways that I view things from a modern lens. When I look at the Harrington's house for instance, I see wealth, but I see middle class wealth. I see WASPY "well off" people who are possibly spending outside their means to keep up with the Jones's who live in a frankly but ugly house. LOL Mrs. H, but that decor distresses me.

But by 1980s standards to afford any of that the Harrington's wouldn't be middle class. Frankly speaking they'd be rich. Not Bill gates rich or anything but rich enough to afford all of their high end pieces and luxury things, seemingly on a single parent income.
