The Autobots drastically outnumbered the Decepticons
at this point so I felt the need to add some more bad guys to the mix. Since
there weren’t any more of the Classics Decepticon toys yet, I branched out into
other toylines, using molds I thought would be somewhat comparable to the
Classics toys so I could get decent poses out of them. The first two, introduced
in this comic were repaints of toys from the Cybertron toyline that were
shoehorned into the popular 2007 Movie toyline, Divebomb and Jolt. Since I’m
near-OCD in making sure all the characters had unique names, I decided to have
Megatron give them the first silly names that popped into his head. ‘Litebrite’
and ‘Grapeaid’ as names were just over the top in stupidity but I love them, in
fact they’re some of my favorite names I’ve used in the comic just behind
Deathkill. Jolt’s personality as being a
complete jerk has been very easy to cultivate but I’ve had a hard time with
Litebrite coming into his own. They were only meant to be ancillary characters
in the first place, but I’d still like to give all the characters a little
something to connect with.
