Currently fighting with my artistic urges vs. my practical urges, in the form of a card I'm making:

"OMG! You must put something in the upper left hand corner! It looks so unbalanced right now!"
"That's the sky. The point is sunshine. The only thing I could logically put up there is a cloud. Or maybe some bird Vs. Clouds detract from sunshine."
"UNBALANCED!"
"Yes, yes, you are."

M-chan! I had a sudden insight into Motormaster, and I would like some sanity-checking!

Excerpt from an e-mail: One interpretation of Motormaster that I'm especially fond of is that while he does care for his teammates, he doesn't know how to express it except through violence and control. Him being a sadist on top of that just makes him not especially care about learning other methods.

The Aerialbots' Alt-Modes and Possible Upgrades

Hmm. Despite my enjoyment of combat fighters, I have no jet icons. Woe.

This started as an e-mail conversation with someone and quickly devolved into me rambling on a lot about the jets the Aerialbots have as alternate-modes. It's a quick overview of each fighter jet used, its mission profile, and any quirks that I know about and think are worth mentioning. Immediately after each jet is a quick overview of a possible upgrade, as well as any quirks I know about and think are worth mentioning.

This is intended as a quick bit of information for non-plane buffs who like to write the Aerialbots. Keep in mind the actual capabilities of the Aerialbots are usually above and beyond what the real-world version of their alternate-mode can do. Slingshot being supersonic immediately comes to mind as a big difference; a real-world Harrier cannot break the speed of sound.
