    This. So fuckin' hard.

    They feel so much more natural, it's not invasive.

    She WAS at the base when Jack went to Cybertron...but I think that is it.

    I'm just curious. Would all of you like Miko if she were to respect the 'Bots when they tell her to stay put? I can understand her hype about giant freaking robots; hell, I'd be stoked and wanna go everywhere they go as well. However, after watching reruns of season 1, I can see why people hate her because she almost always gets herself in dangerous situations, putting the bots in danger due to her actions.

    Miko was pretty golden after Darkness Rising, but TMI was a slap in the face to everyone. But she's been better again since.

    Spike, Sparkplug and Chip Chase were the best humans of any Transfomers show.

    That 8 year old Computer Genius on PRIME who seems to have no parents isn't even plausible.

    Didn't Chip Chase rip a floppy disk to pieces with his bare hands?

    That was insane.

    I do like that the show shows the kids as friends of the bots but Optimus tries his best to keep them out of harms way. The bots having friends make them better characters to me and trying to prevent putting them into dangerous situations allows me to buy it. Other shows would have the kids joining for no reason with their lives constantly in danger.

    But I still maintain the best way to have a human element in the show is to have a NEST like group.

    I hold to the idea that if you wrote out every one of the children in Armada aside from Alexis, you'd have a vastly improved show.

    Miko needs to get parked on already, she hasn't done a damn thing.
    I actually find the movie humans helpful.

    I only find Jack and Fowler useful. Raf and Miko could be left out completely. How Raf understands Bee and Cybertronian tech is beyond me.

    Raf is a computer whiz. Perhaps Bumblebee is speaking Assembly Language :wink:

    Haha! If that is true, Raf would be the first human to understand binary sequence of instructions wiithout the aid of computers. :lol 

    She did manage to capture the schematics of the SpaceBridge v1.0 on her phone so that they may know how to destroy it (ref: Darkness Rising mini-series)

    And for those who are not following Rescue Bots, Cody and his family are actually the most helpful human allies in all TF franchise based on my opinion.

    Miko helped a lot in her last appearance in tunnel vision...She knows Big Cities and Big City people....

    Of course the likelihood she'll go back to being useless is pretty high.

    And Jack was able to trick an extremely skilled decepticon hunter/assasin, a professional human mercenary, a swarm of scraplets and a sentient warship.
