>>10927128I get the appeal of Sakamoto's stuff but it's mostly fluff, it's gaiden, it's for goofs to tie together diverse toy releases. I wouldn't really want him to define characters. Though, I personally don't see the Fossilizers being especially deep. If I were writing them, they'd basically be puppets for Vertebreak, with the exception of Wingfinger, who has enough will not to fall under her control. I imagine Ractonite being barely verbal, mostly grunting and reluctantly interpreting for Paleotrex, who I'd treat as a high-strung berserker who only screams and yelps in anxious frustration. They'd be like a murderous, autistic Laurel and Hardy. I'd also prefer 'Trex to be a her, what can I say, she just looks like a she to me. Wingfinger is a quiet ninja type who prefers actions to words, speaking directly and efficiently whenever possible. I'd absolutely make him unironically say the manga/anime cliche "It cannot be helped" regularly. Vertebreak talks endlessly. She will not shut up unless Megatron tells her to, and Megatron is the only other Predacon she shows any respect, being like an obnoxious little sister who insinuates herself into positions near leadership whenever possible. "Go play in a tar pit!" is the kind of thing she'd shout at her puppets when she tires of their presence or Megatron grows weary of their groaning, clanking, and moaning. She would ironically bite a Maximal's ankles if she thought it would win her leader's approval. Thank you for coming to my autistic TED Talk.
