Deadzone musings

[lunatron]

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.

I think that movie Bee is a little bit more experienced than G1. I mean, he had a command rank from thousands (millions?) of years ago.

At least we're lacking in Hot Shot, Cheetor, and Energon Ironhide. There'd be no room for all the youthful potential.
