| Beyond the year 2006, '''Tommy Kennedy''' has a lot of school assignments to write. Amazingly, all his school assignments are about the Transformers, so he gets to sit in hellish wastelands with [[Powermaster]] [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Optimus Prime]] and ask him questions about their past adventures. After not too long, Prime must always hastily leave for some random off-the-cuff excuse, like helping [[Joyride (Autobot)|Joyride]] fix the [[Space Bridge]] or to give [[Grimlock (G1)|Grimlock]] a brain upgrade. Tommy is not lonely in the barren, scorched-earth dust bowl full of wreckage and detritus of the horrors of war, though, because sometimes the Autobot leader leaves [[Stan Bush|music videos]] for Tommy to watch.

| Kennedy was apparently a human resident of [[Autobot City]], where he was both a student and a reporter for the Autobot City News. {{storylink|More than Meets the Eye, Part 1}}, {{storylink|Dark Awakening}} Kennedy considered Optimus Prime a close personal friend, and Prime generally seemed to share the feeling, humoring the boy's questions and allowing Kennedy to accompany him on various mundane tasks. {{storylink|The Transformers (cartoon)|Season 5}} Although he had a stated dislike for history as an academic discipline, Kennedy was always ready to hear tales of the Transformers' battles on Earth and throughout the galaxy, requests which Prime acquiesced to on a regular basis. {{storylink|Five Faces of Darkness, Part 3}}

| Despite (or perhaps due to) his close relationship with Optimus Prime, Kennedy faced troubles with bullies at school, and sometimes sought counsel from the wise Autobot commander. {{storylink|The Transformers: The Movie}} Kennedy was also a sensitive child, expressing great dismay at the thought that Optimus Prime could somehow forget his birthday. {{storylink|Surprise Party}} At one point, the impetuous Kennedy demanded to be allowed to go through the [[Headmaster (technology)|Headmaster]] process, although Prime's descriptions of the difficulties faced by the initial Headmaster Autobots on their trip to [[Nebulos]] seems to have dissuaded him of this idea. {{storylink|The Rebirth, Part 3}}
