    For the longest time, Skywarp was my favourite as he was the first one I got when one of my uncle's friends gifted me Armada Skywarp, but as time went on, motivated by his stellar IDW depiction and blue being my favourite color, I became a TC fan.

    I liked the run of Thundercracker in IDW comics. I dropped off the last two or three years of that run because, yeah, the storylines were getting really confusing. I never knew he got good enough with his screenplays to win an award though! Good for him! I kinda liked his terrible fanfiction though. Especially that time he saved Christmas!

    when thundercracker's studio series toy (based off of nitro zeus) came out, it was said that thundercracker was gonna appear in dotm, also according to mae catt "Now, you didn't hear it from us, but Nova Storm's inclusion alongside Skywarp in Earthspark sure is weird, huh? Almost as if the writers wanted to include a different character (thundercracker) in a female role, but were told they couldn't. Now, if that were the case, it seems pretty likely that's the second time in a row Nova Storm was given a prominent cartoon appearance simply because a more-famous Seeker (skywarp) was off-limits to have their gender changed from male to female.
