Bumblebee more like Honeybee because that baby is too damn sweet. Somebody give him money and tell him to buy something nice for himself.

Ravage is a… Decepti-kitty-con.
I think Airachnid got shafted. She’s like the only one in the chain of command to express any concern for the Deception troops, and she got punished for it, AND Megatron didn’t even have the decency to off her himself. It would have been so cool to watch her be second in command and how she and Megatron would bounce off each other, but she was utterly wasted as a character imo
I agree. When she was trying to make the Decepticons leave Earth to avoid Unicron (before being stopped by Soundwave), the Vehicons seemed alright with it, Knockout seemed alright with it, Breakdown didn’t complain.
As evil, selfish and flawed as she is, Airachnid was relatively polite to other Decepticons while part of the group and I don’t remember her hitting or threatening any Vehicons nor actively plotting against Megatron – despite not wanting to be there in the first place. Compared to Starscream, that should have felt like a big improvement.
This all shows just how dysfunctional Megatron’s army was at that point, he was too eager to kill anyone.
And I think Soundwave maybe felt threatened by Airachnid, since he presented her traitorous behavior to Megatron by quoting a few of her lines to him without much context. It seemed like she was saying “Megatron has fallen! I, Starscream Airachnid, now lead the Decepticons!” instead of her intended “Megatron is either dead or Unicron has him, let’s leave this exploding planet.”
I wanted to make a “teal deer” joke about Thunderhoof because I’ve been on the Internet long enough to know old memes and am currently sleep deprived enough to find everything funny… but he’s the wrong color. Honestly, what a wasted opportunity, I want to speak to the manager.
I just read a Steven Universe post as “I don’t ship Breakdown and Yellow Diamond,” completely forgetting that BD stands for Blue Diamond in that fandom.

Fracture : good boss or bad boss toward his minicons? (love your analysis posts)
Adequate imo, especially by Decepticon standards.
While Fracture doesn’t seem to care if his aggressive outbursts hurt the Minicons, neither Airazor nor Divebomb fear their boss so I guess the audience has no reason to take this seriously? He also talks to them like a normal person, without threat.
I’m mentioning the lack of threatening demeanor because of how it compares to, among others: Megatron when he’s not talking to Soundwave or Shockwave, Starscream with his hired team in RiD, Motormaster with his team of Stunticons, and even Drag Strip with Wildbreak. Fracutre doesn’t try to intimidate his underlings or make them fear him.
Airazor and Divebomb both show admiration and appreciation towards Fracture – fantastic boss, does all the walking, most feared bounty hunter in the galaxy, sometimes he smiles! – and they care when he’s in trouble, they always worry and rush to assist him.
So, I’d say Fracture passes for an adequate boss because his Minicons love him and I’m assuming he earned their loyalty. But if he was an Autobot, he’d require some sensitivity training. lol
Do you think Steeljaw, Thunderhoof and Fracture have redeemable qualities? If so, which ones?
Regarding the Aligned continuity in general, I think Megatron set the bar so low with his “redemption” that it’s buried deeper than Unicron inside Earth’s core. So yeah, Steeljaw, Thunderhoof, and Fracture definitely have redeemable qualities simply by not being worse than Megatron…
How's it hummin'?
