Deadzone musings

The Autobots have a lot of young characters, particularly punk kid characters.

Slingshot, Holi, Swerve, Wedge, Skyblast... I'm not sure if Synapse and Bumblebee count, too. Long Haul's much younger than he usually is.

Wheelie is, of course, a Predacon, not an Autobot.

Then again, they also have Kup, Emirate Xaaron, and Omega Supreme, who are all pretty old.

Arcee, Perceptor, Jazz, and Nightbeat seem to be the only ones in the middle of the spectrum, and the point could be argued on Arcee.

I don't think as Long Haul as being really young, age wise, even if he's a lot younger than usual. A character as old as he is who had lived straight through the war wouldn't be young, and years-conscious wise, he's older than G1-cartoon Optimus Prime! The big thing that makes him young-ISH is the fact that he's never really dealt with war before.

The way Names runs Arcee, I'd certainly put her in the "young" camp.

Is that good or bad? ;-)

But nah, Arcee's definitely a bit more in the punk kid area of things. (granted, she's from the movie and seems to get a huge boost in competence between the movie and Season 3...)

A bit of both, but you apped her as youngish in personality, anyway. Someone who wants to be mature, and thinks herself as mature, but isn't quite there yet, you know?
