whirl: never grew out of their punk/scene phase or is reliving it, is doing their best to recover from a lot of bad self-talk, is gay but is ready to fight always
perceptor: was the kind of person who binged the crash course videos in their free time, is gay and pragmatic but unlike ratchet or rung has a hard time identifying/labeling specific emotions
tailgate: a warm Friend, very willing to listen and encourage – another disaster gay, loses track of what they were saying a lot, means well
cyclonus: probably one of the few people not ashamed of their scene phase and feels like they learned a lot abt themselves from it, sword/knife lesbian, incredibly valid, less of a Parent Friend and more of a reliable uncle

Whirl at the beginning of mtmte: cyclonus is a creepy murderer and i have to either make up with him or kill him before he kills me
Whirl later: cyclonus is a dumbass bitch who doesn’t know how to express himself and if i don’t do anything he will never confess to his not-yet marshmellow boyfriend
Whirl even later: ah shit he’s hot, lemme in that stupid affection ya dumbasses
the hilarious thing about mtmte is how little anything has to do with them being robots who can turn into cars. its all like We are tasked with rebuilding the identity of our kind after millenia of what we all believed to be Civil War Without End and everyone has PTSD and people keep Dying Horribly during our Wacky Space Adventures and giving everybody else even Worse PTSD and also a lot of it is Really Funny, Somehow, also we can turn into cars did i mention,
