    I've been using this website, I don't know if they have all the G1 bios though.

    Not if they're facing the opposite direction.

    Soundwave in most modern incarnations doesn't really have the smooth-talking or blackmailing for personal benefit/duplicitous nature he was originally described as having in his bio

    I don't think we've ever really seen that in any version of Soundwave.

    Which is why I'd love to see a Soundwave like that.

    Jazz as Optimus' second-in-command is a dynamic that isn't explored as nearly enough as it should be.

    What's even stranger is Megatron picked up a lot of those traits. How many times did we see him personally working on super weapons, or in comics him perfecting or copying some new high tech upgraded (pretenders in marvel, combiners in IDW). His tech specs seems to suggest his intelligence is tactical and militarily strategy.

    In terms of intelligence he's on par with Optimus Prime.

    "Megatron is incredibly powerful and intelligent, the equal of Autobot Leader Optimus Prime."

    I actually think that him developing super weapons and what not fits in with his character. With Optimus, you'll notice that his skills pertain to more humanitarian fields (science, medicine, philosophy) which fits in rather nicely with his character. Megatron's intelligence being mostly relegated to more militaristic fields, such as weapons and strategy, again fit well with what we already know about him. I do think Megatron would have some philosophical leanings, though, just based on him being the leader and often founder of the Decepticons. Similarly, Optimus would have a solid understanding of military procedure due to him being the leader of the Autobots.

    I don't know which is worse.

    Or even worse a combination of both.

    In Prowl's Bio it says his function is "Military Strategist" and liked using Strategies, even though in the G1 Cartoon he never (from what I remembered) used any Strategies, In the G1 Cartoon (Idk about idw because I don't read idw...) Prowl was nothing more than a regular Autobot Car warrior....

    In IDW he has taken command at times and planned out strategies sometimes.
    However his portrayal is more rebellious, much like his Marvel comics portrayal.

    I'd love to see tailgate's G1 toy bio be used to its fullest. Because I'm imagining him standing in front of a parking lot, shaking his fists in the sky and shouting as loud as he can, "RISE UP, MY BRETHREN! THE ONLY THING YOU HAVE TO LOSE IS YOUR CHAINS!" Meanwhile the other Autobots are just standing off to the side, going, "Tailgate, what the fuck is wrong with you?!" :D

    The difference is that BotchTheCrab and Hex only have the tech specs, which are shortened versions of BobBudiansky's original bio writeups. The ones at NTFA are from Marvel's Transformers Universe limited series, which are the original, unshortened versions of Budiansky's bios.

    The English dub of Headmasters was done by a bunch of dudes from Hong Kong who barely knew anything about Transformers.
