Heh. I'm getting rather fond of poor old Red Alert, given the amount of abuse he gets in fanfic, especially recently. If you look at his TFU he has sensory perception on a par with Soundwave, and he lives in a volcano. These things combined cannot help his nerves.
I'm trying to learn how to write the Aerialbots individually; Silverbolt and Slingshot have good characterisation in the cartoon, but the other three far less so. Air Raid's the easiest one to start with, being more of an active character, hence the "fools rush in" sense about him.
Sunstreaker is another one of those characters who suffers from poor-to-little characterization in the cartoon and comics [he was kinda dead for most of the comics!]. He gets, what, that scene in MTME, another scene in Insecticon Syndrome and an issue of Perchance to Dream where he bails out on Jazz in a fight and lets humans get killed rather than risk his paint [oddly, it looked kinda like a panic attack ... hmm ... now I have ideas].
