Notes

• David Bishop cited his favourite characters to write as Wolfang (the vast majority of "Trigger Warnings" was written by Bishop), Stiletto, Preditron, and Buckethead (whose dialogue always received a pass from Bishop, to ensure the British slang used was appropriate). By contrast, he found the swathes of obscure nobodies used in "Derailment" hard to care about.<ref>{{#if: This is both easy and hard at the same time: Three favourites, easy: Wolfang, because I really wanted to do a Cybertronian noir story from the very beginning and Trigger Warnings was all Wolfang. Stiletto, because I felt her story went to some interesting and satisfying places over her appearances and it was fun to take her from someone with no shortage of issues to kind of a calm, if not happy than at least content place. Preditron, because I imagined him as basically Lt. Worf from Star Trek, an honourable and proud warrior who has to deal with the fact his people aren't as honourable as they like to make out, except for Preditron they were basically his children. We didn't get tons of time with him, but I am proud of him. As an honourable mention I have to say Buckethead, because Jim wanted her to speak in a sort of slangy British way, so, me being British, I always got to rewrite her dialogue even in segments I didn't have a lot to do with. Honestly there weren't any characters I didn't enjoy writing. I found Lio Convoy a bit of a challenge but I don't specifically remember writing for him outside of editing. As a sort of answer to this question I will say that when it came to Derailment, which is basically novel-length and I'm trawling tfwiki for new guys to feature in different scenes and I realise I'm down to people called things like Wedge-Shape and Thunderlips, it was tough to care about some of them. Then again, focusing on obscure characters has also been part of the fun. Sorry for the huge answer, it was kind of a big question. |"This is both easy and hard at the same time: Three favourites, easy: Wolfang, because I really wanted to do a Cybertronian noir story from the very beginning and Trigger Warnings was all Wolfang.
