One thing that's always interested me about the seekers is this sense of almost a brotherly connection. Thundercrackers always trying to keep the other two in order, though Starscream's still above him. I've always thought that Skywarp's the youngest and was brought in by Starscream, who's the middle one, and Thundercracker being the oldest.
Skywarp's always been the one that I think gets the short shrift becuase he's the one that has the least to say in the series, but he's also the one with one of the coolest ablity To teleport, something the other cons can't do. He was also the one that woke up first, and were it Starscream or some of the other Cons then Megatron might not have been woken up. It's been said that if Skywarp was actually smart enough he could be the real threat to Megatron.
Thundercraker's just very pleasent. I mean yes he's a jerk, but he reminds me of Ironhide some of the time. Trying to keep bots from being rowdy and keeping Skywarp in line. He and soundwave I think have a rivalry going, probably becuase Thundercracker's smarter then he looks and just keeps it quiet.
Starscream's one I have to wonder about. Had Jetfire/Skyfire not fallen, would he have been evil? Would he still have joined the Cons? And if not, then would he really have chosen the Autobots? Or for that matter, did Megatron's robosmasher screw with his head and turn him into what he is now? Because younger Screamer seemed almost humble. If that's even possible. Also it's interesting that we were limited to Starscreams intellegence, I mean how many people would have thougth of creating a way to gain energy the way he did in the dark ages, and then had Rumble get bird droppings for the sulfur, which was honestly brillant! He doesn't get the credit he deserves for his intellegence.
Then there's the trio we only saw at the start to MTMTE when Wheeljack and BB were rushing away. I know that the yellow one was called Sunstom, but the others are nameless, and they seem to be following Shockwave, so I wonder who they are and what their role was in the other seekers.
Just a thought, were there to be a G3 -stories based on the first cartoon series and follow up to Rebirth, what sort of characterizations to the seekers would you have liked to have seen? (Had Skywarp and Thundercracker not been turned into Cyclous and Scurge)
TC has a nice rough voice. Doesn't matter though...I still adore Starscream 
This is where being colour blind doesn't help much.
