I’ve also randomly had an idea. What if I just… made character interviews? Like imaginary interviews like they are celebrities on some talk show. Maybe it’s silly or cringe but I think it would be fun to answer in character.

Mainly because, as my beloved mutual is aware, I have these guys commenting on my daily life, it would be fun to use it for something.

—

Valkyrie had a speech impediment when she was younger and for the longest time just didn’t talk at all. Because speaking was hard and she never said the right thing (wasn’t understood) and so what’s the point of talking at all? Unfortunately once she figured out how to talk she would not stop. Very talkative child.

Valkyrie is such a daddy’s girl. She’s got her dad wrapped around her finger. He adores her. And she could get away with murder. But he’s always been her biggest supporter and I could see him knowing about the secret marriage very quickly.

—

Echo feels like he would be a big fan of whales. They are doing great in his mind. Does he ever go to earth to see them? I mean maybe but I honestly have no idea. If he had a favorite animal it would be whales. Specifically the fin whale. He thinks they are funny bullet shaped creatures that are huge for no reason. And they sing pretty.

Echo is a night owl. It’s 3 am and he has never been more motivated to turn his life around. Then he wakes up at noon and wants to never leave his bed.

—

Bluerunner is Rumbleclutch’s right hand man because he was a historian before all this, he specifically studied ancient and historian battles as stuff. So he is a great strategist and wonderful at organization and management. Which makes him very useful during a war. How he got stuck on some random outpost? No one knows but he probably shouldn’t be here.

I like to sit and image that if Sunrazor hadn’t stepped on Bluerunner he would have greatly changed how things happened when she showed up. Because he’s the strategist and would have helped Rumbleclutch keep things from falling apart. Because Sunrazor was very good at overwhelming that poor man.

Bluerunner doesn’t have a mouth under his mask/face guard. It’s just a straw. For slurping. He is denied the pleasures of solid food.

—

Sunrazor looks up to Torque a lot. He’s her older brother figure and they have a lot of the same ideals and whatnot. She really seeks his approval and that’s one of the many reasons why she’s so hesitant with hanging out with Valkyrie in the beginning. She knows he wouldn’t approve.

Sunrazor would absolutely love hummingbirds. They would be her favorite animal ever

Sunrazor does have a face guard/mask that would kinda look like Optimus’s? She usually uses it during combat when she works in towers. During the war she doesn’t use it because Torrent disabled the ability to activate it, cause he gave her chompers and wanted her to use them.

—

This does mean that Powercase also has a face guard that he would use during combat. And I could see him wearing it full time in that period of time during the war before he joins the death muppets.

—

Going to be organizing them by character again… loosely.

~~~~~

Leoblast actually loves to race. He’s not really fast since he’s a guardian and has a weak spark, but he’s still smaller and faster than most guardians and can outrun them. And is very good at navigating rough terrain, better than other faster mechs because he’s a guardian and has extra protection.

Because Leoblast was raised in the Praxus guardian center he actually doesn’t love physical contact (unless he considers you family or a close friend) and is very awkward in most public bathing situations because of his anxieties.

Leoblast is such a morning person it’s actually annoying. He wakes up and is ready to go and do. Which is ironic because when he was younger he was a very low energy child because of his spark issues.

—

One of the reasons why Echo has ridiculously good aim is he played darts way too much before the war. The other reason is he loves guns but shhhhhh.

Echo is touch averse, which is heavily influenced by Praxian culture, which restricts touch for close friends and family. Echo only really tolerates touch from doctors, Tempestrift (his Conjunx) and Leoblast (his Amica) everyone else he just kinda tolerates.

Echo is really good at playing poker because his doorwings don’t actually convey any emotion. You would expect that a praxians twitching doorwings would indicate some poorly regulated emotion in a situation like that, but because he’s twitchy in general it means nothing. He’s sending false signals without even meaning to.

—

Nova really enjoys board games. Give him monopoly and a group of three other people and he will have himself a swell time. You just have to get him out there.

Nova’s favorite color is teal. He won’t change his paint color to it though because it’s expensive and he’s worried that he will get tired of it if he does that.

Nova does have a little tooth gap. Yeah I know they are robots and if doesn’t make sense but let me have my fun please. (And my brother, who is seven, has one and is already very insecure about it and he likes it when I draw nova for him)

Nova actually has such a sweet tooth. Or whatever the robot equivalent of that is. He has it. Easiest way into this man’s heart is food. He will be infinitely suspicious of you but he will accept it.

—

Powercase is a sports guy. I don’t know what kind of sports Cybertronians have other than racing and the gladiator stuff but I’m sure they have others. And he would be a big fan of them.

Powercase was the class clown and I will die on that hill. I made him which makes it canon so anyone who says otherwise is wrong. As a child this man would not sit down or shut up and the only reason why he wasn’t killed was because Sunrazor saved his ass.

Powercase is afraid of large masses of water. Like enough water to drown in. I don’t want to call that hydrophobia because he’s able to shower and all that he just doesn’t like lost of water. He gets really anxious near them… because of reasons.

—

Sunrazor (prewar) loves fireworks. They freak her out because loud noises that could possibly indicate danger but she is also like every other three year old and will happily sit and watch the magic with some earbuds on.

Sunrazor feels like she would passionately dislike the color brown. I don’t want to say hate because that’s a strong word but I feel like of all the colors she just doesn’t like it. She will go out of her way to not pick an item that is brown. It just gross to her.

—

Dropmix’s favorite color is orange. Is this important? Nope. Not at all. In fact it has no significant meaning either? Unless you wanna call Theremin’s color orange? But Dropmix likes bright orange. Annoying orange. I don’t know why, that’s just why he told me.

Dropmix loves food. There is a reason why he gets fat after the war and that is because his metabolism isn’t the same, he’s lazy but most importantly he is a snacker. Constantly munching on something unless he has something to keep his hand occupied.

—

Some of this stuff I may have talked about before but this is also serving as my own form of note taking so you will have to bear with me.

I’m going to try to sort these by character by the way, just for organizational reasons

~~~~~~~

Sunrazor (pre war and during the war) does enjoy spooking and scaring people. She thinks it’s funny and will wait in a dark room to scare you with her lights. Or jump out behind a corner. During the war it’s a lot more… well she acts more nonchalant about it. She’s just smug. Pre war is a lot more like when you’re trying to scare your sibling. She will cackle.

Prewar Sunrazor smokes but ends up quitting because Valkyrie keeps on lecturing her on how it’s bad for her filters.

—

Jeopardy loves scary movies and shows. Big thriller guy. Will listen to all of the true crime and supernatural podcasts and scare himself so he makes Dropmix sleep in the room with him. Otherwise he gets too freaked out and stays awake all night.

For a few centuries or so Jeopardy works as one of the organic and Cybertronian ambassadors of medicine due to him knowing how to treat (generally) organic life along with advanced Cybertronian medicine. Eventually he returns to his practice because he misses the personal aspect that came with working at a clinic.

—

Echo and Jeopardy are built by the same forger in Praxus. The forger was building typical frames before they moved onto Medical ones.

Echo would play so many first person shooter games. Does he? I don’t know but if he does play games those are the ones he would.

Echo is really good at singing. Just naturally he has a really pretty voice. Don’t ask why.

—

Valkyrie actually really enjoys the process of deep cleaning. It’s very satisfying for her. She gets very nitpicky and critical about it but really enjoys looking back and seeing the progress.

Valkyrie loves off-roading, which is why her alt mode is similar to a jeep. She just likes to go fast and get dirty. Climb up a hill that way.

—

Powercase likes to sing and randomly dance when he’s doing more mundane or domestic tasks but his ability to sing is… questionable. He’s not terrible but it’s not great. He does come up with random songs for whatever situation he’s currently in though.

Powercase has tried drugs and after a disaster of a night and several near death and traumatic experiences he refuses to touch any of that stuff. Turns out being paranoid and naturally anxious while having superhuman senses to detect danger and taking hallucinations is not a great mix

—

Dropmix loses his nonexistent medical license and ends up just sorting files and inventory for Jeopardy’s clinic later on. He just kinda does whatever needs to be done that doesn’t involve customer service or being a doctor. Until he retires because he is feeling too old to be productive. Then he just shows up at the office and judges people.

There is a certain chime/bell sound that they used in the pits to indicate the start of a match. Because of this all of the music that Dropmix plays in the medbay never has sort of bells or distinct chimes because that is a direct trigger for his aggressive programs. This would also apply to most gladiators.

—

Tempestrift is Silverglider and Crossflier’s cousin. But relations like that aren’t very important in seeker culture so it doesn’t really mean anything for them.

Torque and Vigilox also smoke. Even though they are poor as dirt and cannot routinely afford new filters. They’ve gotta be semi self destructive somehow.
