Pick a character and I will give and explain the top five
ideas/concepts/etc I keep in mind while writing that character that I
believe are essential to accurately depicting them. Any and all characters
welcome (including ones I haven't written but might know about...)

1. Paranoia. Everything is staring at him with little beady optics, cameras in the streetlights, following him everywhere, watching...

2. He's strangely loyal to Motormaster. He resents being hurt by Motormaster, but he clings to his gestalt leader as a source of stability in a universe that's out to get him. With little optics hidden everywhere. (*having too much fun*) This extends to the rest of the gestalt as well.

3. He's afraid of Motormaster. He's just more afraid of the rest of the world.

4. He's smart. His speech problems are not a result of low intelligence but a separate issue. He's smarter than Motormaster and Motormaster knows it.

5. He's a war machine created by a violent dictator, and has spent his entire life fighting. His reaction to being frightened is violence. Startle him, and he's likely to shoot you. Several times. Then leave tire marks over the remains.
